Today I got done a lot more than I had expected to.
First thing this morning I ordered a whole whack of parts from 3SX and STM.
WRX 3" MAF
Kevlar timing belt
New Stainless Y pipe that I will be modifying to work with the MAF
Engine gasket kit
ABS delete kit
Braided clutch line
AEM wideband o2
After that I wasted three hours trying to find a damn starter for my Soarer...
Then I began working on my engine some more, I polished up some more of the brackets, lines, and bolts. Painted a couple of things, and made up a game plan for when the car can be put in the shop.
Purchased a new engine. Finally got a 4 bolt.
wich one did u get? the one from cali?Quote:

sounds great....but you won't run into problems until you pass the 700whp mark. and that's probably pushing the limits on 3.0L with 16g's. only reason i got a 4-bolt was for a stroker. only reason i'm going with a stroker is because my 2-bolt has a cast crank. if it didn't; i wouldn't give a flip. i'm also shooting for the 550-600 range; but i'm not going to tune to the edge. 1 count of knock on pump & then turn down the boost 2 psi; and i'll never touch it again.Quote:

I picked up my two car 3S car hauler in palm Springs and moved it to San Diego and stopped by dmv to register it.

I ended up up with a brand new built motor.
i would happily have run that with 16g's; provided it had a forged crank. mine didn't. :(Quote:

If you're rockin' some ARP's isn't the 2 bolt just as tough to a degree?
not even close. :)Quote:

props to april (dbest). it's shaved (now has ghost text) and matches my front valve cover. :D
... So that's what the engine bay looks like with something in it :suspect:
I just got done removing the exhaust, driveshaft, tcase, starter, and drained the oil that only has ~20 miles on it so that I can prepare to replace my oil pump while its all apart for new cam seals. I swear, the smallest jobs always turn into huge projects on this car.
No.Quote:

wtf? that's the first i've ever heard of why i shouldn't switch to 99's. how come you didn't mention this to me when you were doing my tt swap?Quote:

That's not true. I saw the replacement 99 lash adjusters and the hole is much bigger. My mechanic even called me and asked if they were right cus the hole was so much bigger.Quote:

Maybe Ninja meant internally, possible the hole inside is smaller eventhough at the top it's much larger? I've never had an issue with it so I'm not sure.
Where did you pick up the MOMO? I looked around awhile back and it was pretty expensive to switch over so I stuck to my black one I got from the 99.
Oh and for the Spyder I continued my endless search for a replacement Blitz type 03... Out of stock and discontinued.

It's an $80 ebay knockoff, the real momo millennium is $400 or something. Thats why I had the custom GTO horn emblem made because it lacked the authentic momo emblem. Definitely worth the money as it's very close to the original. It also appears 'GTO' factory standard now.
