Saturday night after work I was so irritated how bad the car was running I figured it was time to pull it out so we can get the little things situated, motor re-sealed, re-timed before anymore drifting..mainly before JDMups car show and Full Auto approaching..
(*Pinoy, this is what I do before events...lmao) grindhouse

Got to getting the car ready for motor evac.

Day 1:

night before was pretty basic engine removal order: FMIC piping, Intake, Radiator, engine harness so now it was just disconnect drive-shaft, down-pipe, trans-mount, motor-mounts and pull out.


Tommy and I were so hungry so it was subway time.. and got big ass 1.59 fountain drinks. Pissing Mt Dew for like 5 hours hahaha

but getting this motor out in less than an 40 minutes was more than rewarding..

Tommy shows how to perform Engine removal hoist-less... haha

After the motor was hanging on the hoist I found my exhaust leak.

O2 housing got a nice crack in it..That'll be fixed before it goes back in

Then pulled Trans to see how the clutch is looking.


Still looking pretty good for all the abuse I put on it..

Tyler got to cleaning my motor..david48's replacement (bahaha)



Engine bay prep-work. Tommy disassembled SR while I prepped/stripped engine bay.

eyyy good lookin'



Tyler looks gone haha, But Tommy is about to give someone a knuckle sandwich..

Saw a lot of standing around sometimes, but it was mostly because it was hotter than Satan's dick and the fan was facing that direction ahaha


....next post.
