What did you do today to your 3/S?

Since before I even put my Limited Slip Diff in a couple months ago, my transmission has felt funny.. It didn't grind, but it also wouldn't go into gear right away, like it didn't slip into gear for about half a second.. It was most noticeable shifting into third at high RPM. Well, I was messing with my reverse light sensor since I got a new one and I guess it was way too tight. I left the new one hand tight and now I can shift from second to third at 7K RPM like butter.. I mean BUTTER. Zero hesitation. Every gear is like that right now. Is this common knowledge? I'm still in shock that a quarter of a turn could make such a difference! This is the FWD tranmisssion I'm talking about by the way.

The turbos feel great. They spool pretty damn quick and the car just hauls.

Saw this at Walmart for like $1 or $2. They didn't have the tank to bowl gasket, so thought I'd try it. This fit's perfectly once trimmed. Trying to get the tweeter situated tho

Installing a shitter?

Started installing TEIN S Techs on the rear. Also using a rust converter and then bed liner spray on everything under the car. Its looking pretty good so far. I will do the fronts when the engine is out, probably start that over the weekend.

I got all my stuff moved into the new house. So this weekend I will start tearing down my heads and reassembling them and then start putting the long block together!

Secured 3 of the 4 3sx poly mounts for $60 plus $10 postage. The missing one from the set I already had and was given for nothing. Complete set for $70 awesome! Would have preferred Seattle's mounts but that price can't be beat :p

Snook somebody in the trans section figured it out and the parts needed . Was posted a few days ago

I took apart the heads to reassemble them. Later to find out my torque wrench doesn't go down low enough for the torque specs needed. So I am waiting for tomorrow to find the torque wrench I need.

Well, last night I got the trans hooked up and the motor dropped in.....never dropping it from above again but it squeezed in there.

Unfortunately the differential/axle seal folded while we were driving it in, and noone has a replacement. The new motor doesnt have an EGR valve, and noone has a replacement, and the throttle body from Japan is different so Im having to use my old one, do you think anyone has gaskets? No, at least I can make that......
More to follow after tonights work. I will try to update as I go. Going to make a plate to omit the egr, though i doubt i will pass emissions. Are there any other model egrs that I could modify???

Putting an engine in from above is cake work. You just have to get the right tilt on the assembly and everything falls right into place.

Looks like you have a 1g. If it is you can delete the EGR without an issue. You don't really need an EGR to pass emissions. Not all 3/S's even came with EGR's.

If you are referring to the TB gasket, any parts store should have one.

I wouldn't use the crap paper TB gaskets, every time I have it has leaked. So unfortunately I try to keep a spare metal one from 3SX on hand in case I need it.

Red black white brown....deciphering the schematics to rig this aftermarket o2 sensor is killing us!

Radiator is in, lines are almost all hooked up, few little things left to rig and we we see if she lives!

Beer.... Just isn't a project without it :p

That is all!

Wtf Coop..

Well I took apart the heads and put them back together to see if it would fix my issue, but as soon as I torqued down the cam caps the gear wouldnt move without force again, so I will need to brainstorm. All the caps seem to be in the tght place. Maybe I just need to smother them in assembly lube lol.
