Nice looking car, I drive by it every day now that you have it at your house.

 

[jcovey2.5]

Thanks Man!

Well thanks to Chris' (Apkarian100) help, finally started to get my motor back together!

Here is some pics of the progress. Ill take more as we go.

As you can see, we set up a pretty sweet engine stand/work bench in my basement haha

Some more pics of the progress. Got a little carried away with taking pics of the EJ25 stamp haha

Whats slowing us down is looking up all the torque specs and having to dig through all the bolts that Lobstah had thrown into containers from when he moved...

KS Tech 9.5mm Phenolic Spacers

Grimmspeed Ported, Polished, and Coated Intake Mani, Throttle Body, and TGV's

I cant wait to hear it, and ride in it again. thought it was fast before you did this work..hahaha

 

[jcovey2.5]

About an hour and a half and 3 rolls of tape later!

And now partially in the car!

Today is the First time the motor had actually been on a stand the entire build haha

Timing is done, clutch and exhaust is next, then dropping it in!

 

[cwiggin]

Looking good man!!! Finally coming together

 

[blmpkn]

I used to drive past this (and what im assuming is your house) all the time. Stared every single time. Nice car man, never would of guessed it was this big of a project! Couldent tell with it sitting there

 

[jcovey2.5]

Haha yes it did sit there for over a year...

Tryed to get it done before I moved to Manchester but didn't happen. Hopefully it won't be long now though!

 

[cwiggin]

bet that stand works better than the tires it was on before haha

 

[jcovey2.5]

Here is some pics of recent work.

Forgot to take a picture of the motor in all the way today, but ill save that for next time...

Because apparently there is a little thing called a pilot bearing... found it in the clutch/flywheel box when I was cleaning up

So hoping to pull the motor again sometime soon to get it in...

I'm glad you were able to finish the wiring without me! It's sad though, I think I've spent more time on your car in the last year than I've spent trying to get my own running!

Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[jcovey2.5]

Figured I would update... So after it sitting for a few more months and me not being able to get it started, because of the fuel pump having lack of power due to the main relay,

I had it towed over to Kinetic on Friday. I have faith in the boys over there that they will have it up and running soon!

 

[jcovey2.5]

Shes ALIVE!!!

Got word that today that Kinetic did a start up yesterday and will hopefully be doing a basemap tomorrow!!

Then ill be getting it home to get it road worthy so i can get a break in tune. I need to put the interior back together, bolt up the exhaust, and get lots of little things done.
