Oh yeah, that looks great!
Finished up the 1300+ total mile trip for UMG. I think Mark & a few Ohio guys have me beat for mileage though! Great weather, great cruise, Thanks again Curt for setting it up.
Yeah I know. I wasn't holding my breath. I remember reading somewhere a member sent theirs out to a clutch shop, had it rebuilt, and the rivets were upgraded.Quote:

I took before and after pics of the bedside.

There is no wax on that either. I actually went ahead and purchased a Porter Cable buffer online so I plan on going over it again. For now I think it looks good.
Fixed the driveshaft/downpipe rubbing issue I have had for good. 1st time launching with the new center diff. So much traction!
From the phone.
It might of been me but I didn't have springs in my 4+. I sent it to a place in TN and they did a shitty job. I then sent it to NY to Rochester (I think) and they did a great job but cost a good bit more.Quote:

After sanding yesterday. Because this mostly won't be visible when the engine is assembled, it's not exactly show-quality work. If I couldn't reach it with a flap wheel or roloc disc, it wasn't getting sanded. :mask: "deal with it" lol
Attachment 6771
After black oxide with the big buffing wheel and the, um, mandrel-buff-thing I use in the drill. Hitting the details with the die grinder.
Attachment 6772
After its bath to remove the black oxide remnants so it's ready for the next step.
Fuel rails, for comparison, already went through the whole procedure a while ago. And I gave a bit more of a damn about sanding them smooth first.
I know what you went through to get that far....Don't forget to seal them so they won't oxidize. I used Shark Hide for mine.

Ok. I have a new SB Stage 4 clutch I'm probably just going to swap in and cough up the Spec as a loss.Quote:

Same thing you did, BL?

It's on my to do list. Here's the guide for a second gen, not sure how similar with first gen
HID H3 Fog install/mod 2nd Gen. - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center
I'd say that's your best bet. It's what I'd do anyway. I'lll probably go with a SB next time.Quote:

It's hard to draw the line when there's some rounding, chipping, or mushrooming on the backside of the engagement teeth. New parts are $350-550 each which is ridiculous. I'll honestly not enjoy my car if I dump $3k into a tranny rebuild because I won't want to damage it resulting in an expensive rebuild. That takes the fun out of spirited driving.Quote:

Well drove less than an hour for a GTO geared 6 speed from a clip, with apparently 70k km/ 45k mile on it.....and from the light amount of unwashed original grime, mint output shaft, & the small amount of pristine lube that drained out, I don't doubt it whatsoever- Great deal for my '93 @ $300 !!

lol. $300 is a great MTX transmission price...and about what I pay for ATX's every time.
Fixed an electrical short in my SL. Turns out it was the shitty Pepboys reman starter that was causing it -.-
Ugh color me jealous..I went to IN and piked up a ton of parts..spotted what was alleged to be a JDM 6 speed with tcase on craigslist for 500 o the way back in Elkton KY.Quote:

Don't think itd hold up to the power I'm planning on making so I passed. Still think JDM 6 speed plus TD05 would make a beastly corner carver

Looked at mine and realized how terrible it looks and that I need to get gravel for the driveway so I can get started on it.
siphoned out 15+ gallons of gas.
....i should have used a larger siphon. it took an hour and a half or so.
...why didn't you use the drain plug on the tank and drain into buckets or a gas can?Quote:

Td05 vs TD04L turbine wheels.
My truck is overflowing with parts that I need to take to the machine shop tomorrow..block, rods and pistons. A spare crank to turn. Will be taking my mint crank there next week or so. And maybe even my whole spare short block.
Also need to get the new manifolds and turbine housings blasted, cleaned up and ceramic coated eventually..so need to start shopping places locally.
Hope to have my AN waterneck done before long, should be interesting.

So how much did yours set you back?
