J spec 6 speed w an RPS carbon carbon clutch upgrade and more!

**vr4tune** · 12-17-2012, 05:12 AM

Last week I started pulling out the trans, steering rack, sway bars, and front half shafts to replace with new ones. I'm at a stand still as I'm waiting for the clutch to come and need to order the Addco sway bars from 3sx later today.

I thought I had lock on a set of Saner sways from Polygon but he screwed me over time wise. I payed him his Full asking price of $500 and 3 days later decided he didn't want to sell then to me as he felt that the shipping was to expensive. He claimed that ups wanted $150 for shipping and so he backed out of out deal instead of trying USPS, FedEx, and Grey Hound. I PM'ed him to try these other methods but No Response! Shady if you ask me!

New parts to go in:
Jspec transaxle 0 miles
5 speed rear end (50,000 previous miles)
EMPI Front half shafts
Steering rack
RPS twin carbon clutch (2000 previous miles)
Addco AWD sway bars front and rear.
PST 6 speed two piece aluminum hybrid driveshaft.

Here are a few pics!

Had a couple a little time to work on the car today manage to mod the counter weight to fit my intercooler piping.
I also got my clutch and sway bars in! Unfortunately the flywheel bolts didn't come with it. I can't use the stock ones as they are to long so I order them and should be here in soon.

Halfway!

All done!

How's the fitment on the rear? I don't recall seeing a review on the latest revision.

The rear subframe is not 100% complete I have new oem end links coming on Tuesday. I will post more pics when it's all done.

Almost done just a few things to button up. Anyway here are a few more pics of the sway bars!

Here is the rear where it hit the floor pan. I used a pry bar to put a small dent. I suspect that this is not needed as when I put load on the suspension it should give more clearance.

When I was done I could slide the wire with out hitting the floor.

Shims are required for the front bar only.

I also added an extra 5 washers per side to the end links or the front for better angles.
