Went through all your pages man. NICE PROGRESS! Inspires me to build a car! Keep it coming!
thanks dude!
haha thats cool thanks man. glad to inspire someone!
checked out the brake fluid leak tonight...gonna get prices on all the lines at work tomorrow. i know its gonna be like $400 so im probably gonna make my own lines. not going to be fun at all but i want to learn to do it.
also found a trans leak when i pulled the car out today. coming from between the case and bell housing near where i got welded. its not coming from the weld though, which is good i guess. possibly i didnt seal the tranny perfect when i put it back together. ill check again tomorrow. worst case i gotta drop the tranny back out and re-seal it again...gheyyy
looking at two exhausts right now.... buddy club pro spec and a apexi ws2..both are about $470 shipped BNIB....not sure if i want crazy race car or nice deep tone exhaust yet...
also looking at a recaro seat....yummmy

will do!
the guy messaged me and said he had one more seat in stock and if i were interested. i told him if i could get it at the same price as the one i just bought then yes. he said sure! so may be getting 2 brand new recaro speeds!!
currently have the car back on the jack stands in the garage. picked up another intake manifold and a front sway bar from a 99 ex yesterday. $20 bucks for both!!! took the crap manifold off last night and the crack got HUGE! showed my friend and he barely touched it and it fell right apart! i couldnt believe it. ill take pics.
currently pulling off all the fuel and brake lines from underneith the car. brake lines are horrriblle. fuel lines arent too bad but still crappy so im going to replace all of them. wish me luck. ill get some pics of everything today and post them later.

Looking nice and clean. Jealous of the engine swap and non dented up hood like on mine.
haha thanks man. i have a ebay carbon fiber hood on it right now. the dude gave it to me for free with the motor swap. the hood that came on the car is kinda rough with dents and what not. so im gonna rock the ebay-fiber hood until it fades..which shouldn't take long lol.
gonna upload some pics here in a minute....
Alright just took some pics a little bit ago. Again I don't have my sisters nice camera, so cell phone pics ftl. Heres the cracked manifold.....super lame.
Up on the jack stands
Dropped the front of the tank to get the lines out.
All fuel lines and rear brake lines out. Had to drop down the sub frame a bit to get them out. That was such a pain in the f**king ass. And i still have to do the lines on my coupe too...ughhhh
Heres my custom JDM seat I'm using right now untill my Recaro Speeds come in.
Quick pic of my auto-manual converted, chipped P28 w/ Rywire harness. Bought the chip kit from Xenocron. Great dealing with them, fast shipping and answered all my questions.
My buddys were messing around with the masking tape when I wasn't around. I lol'ed
Going to pick up the brake lines tomorrow and might start to bend and flare them. Hopefully....
