hey ant... i just want to confirm that you can work with these two sensors... they look ****ed up beyond recognition so I was thinking or ordering these two anyway... 5th gear switch and 4th gear switch respectively?
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/...61b94dac_b.jpg

second switch closest to neutral pos switch
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4147/...9769952d_b.jpg

and the next switch after that going towards bellhousing from neutral pos switch

that's it so far... just need to pick up the rest of the pieces from antony and then the wiring of the power fc shall commence.

still got that ka? i want it

kind of a long story but for all intents and purposes... yeah i still got it.

well let me know cuz i love me some KAs...collecting them is a hobby of mine :)

The messed up sensor on the rear of the trans is the vehicle speed sensor.

yea man i don't know how it happened but you deff need a speed sensor. s13 DOHC 5sd will work just fine. also i would get the reverse sensor as well. Looks like wires for torn out during transport.

I think i ****ed it up trying to fit the engine in using the jack when i used to to angle the engine in right.

besides that tho... do I need any other sensors?

Hey Sam how is it going? Just wanted to check in on you, see how you were making out with this car. Your stuff is ready; just let me know when you want to get together...

looks good! I will def be checking back, very interested

sick build!

so I got those old school 4 lug weds autobahns on and they look pretty good, fitment will be just right with alittle roll/pull

Update:
Car went down to antony(auk113) to get the finishing touches done to the car and I am quite honestly speechless. There is not enough I can say about the guy, he is absolutely one of the best s chassis authorities I know in the tristate area without a doubt. The swap was finished soooo cleanly and I was just floored with not only how it looked, but also with how the car ran. He will be the only person besides vince at RT that will be touching this car. completely above and beyond... just fantastic. 100 times out of 100 I would recommend antony to anything s chassis related.

will get pics once I get her all washed. gonna cash in on a favor and get her resprayed and then off to vince to get tuned!

I worked in his garage while he wrenched on your car and I can definitely vouch for Antonys knowledge and skill.

Awesome dude, I always wanted a vert so badd

got the car tuned @ rttuning. 370whp 333tq

all the dudes at RT are ****ing awesome. can't say enough about these dudes. Huge thanks to vince, antony, will, eric and james. can't wait to get my legacy tuned by andy!

car finally lowered with springs... coils going on soon. I was spotted at h20 tryin to take pics of other cars.
