Project Envy - Moving in a positive direction! Well folks heres an update.
** Philip came today and picked up the transmssion, he understands this car is gonig to be a solid mid 11 sec car or better hopefully so he knows what needs to be done.
** Put a new fuel filter in it, wow the old one was clogged to hell!
**Bought new belts and ASP crank pulley w/ OD alt pulley and ARP balancer bolt
**Bought a shitload of stuff from Byun Speed. full suspension pretty much. Im still not ready to lower it yet, and debating on my shocks/springs/sway bar combiniation
So I spent that much at Byun Speed and another $315 at TSP and $17 at Advance Auto.
I must say, it was an eventful day as far as mnoey spending goes.
Body Wise~
**Closed the gaps on the fender and bumper cover some, but still need work.
**Passenger side headlight... STILL refuses to move over the 1/4 inch I need for it to sit right and to make matters worse on it, 1 bolt broke the head off, and the other stripped and won't come out.
These headlights are such a bitch. I guess I'll have to drill those 2 ******* out sometime, but they are the least of my concerns for now.

pretty much. im at the point now where I dont want something minor like this to **** something up. much like my pcv valve and grommet. talk about FUBAR'D!
But a quick question for ya Jordan...
I got that ASP pulley from TSP monday night, ordered both belts and the ARP bolt with it. Is that ARP bolt for mounting only or what? I know theres a longer bolt to mount it, but not to be installed. it has me REALLY confused.
