I think that is all of it. I got the cooler mounted tonight and got the trans ready to come out. Going to wash the front while the nose is off and throw some paint on it to clean it up alittle. I removed all the a/c minus the box on the firewall. I would like to get it out of there but I hear the whole dash has to come out. Going to get the relocations on the rear finally.
HA...funney you should mention this bc I just got done doing this. Its a PITA but I figured Im saving at least 75 pounds and plus makeing room in the engine bay. I got my a/c delete panel from BMR. You can get it cheaper if you go through Afterthoughts performance.

yeah, they seem pretty soft....i'm sure he had summer performance tires though where as mine are all season...but still i think they should work out nicely...

will a 28" tall tire be too much for my set up? I'm looking at some ET Street 28X11.50-16LT's or some ET Street Radial P255/50R16's

The radials are a 26" tire.....but i'd like to get the streets...but they only have a 28" tall tire for a 16" rim....what do you guys think...i'm no expert here so i have no clue...lol

Tranny is out, the only thing I got to do is get the pilot bearing out. I even cleaned the back of the block up. Got the conduit and the tranny fittings ordered and also got some thermal sleeving order as well.

Hey, sorry it took so long, but here are the pics. Sorry for the crappy quality, I took them with my cell phone.





Hopefully he can work with some damage as bad as this, but if not that's cool.....

Thanks

Ron, I might need to look at your wiring for the back up light wiring on my car. I can't seem to get any help on this forum. All I would need to do is pull the center part of the console out and track the wiring.

Well the only thing holding the powertrain harness in is the 2 plugs on the inside of the car. Got the wiring ran for the tranny cooler and looks pretty good. Tomorrow I will get the patch panel cut out and ready to go in. I will need to go in with another peice to raise the shifter up. I plan on tracing the backup light wiring on the old harness and see what I come up with. No one on tech seems to know how to do the backup light wiring. Once all this is done I will get the motor mounts pulled out.

he said he put new shocks on it, like 8 way adjustable or somthing, he used it for drag racing. He said he had the motor rebuilt, new cams, rings, and bearings and stuff like that. He still running the stock T25 to. The dude has like 5 cars and hes a old friend from my D1 paintball days. But does 3800 sound reasonable?
