A couple of days ago I was trying to get the jammed CV shaft out of the transmission. While I was tugging on it I actually managed to pop the inner CV joint apart, so I just cut the boot and pulled out the obstruction. Today I went to O'reilly Auto Parts and bought a replacement CV shaft, rented the engine hoist again and gave removing the old block and tranny another go. This time I removed the front subframe member to give myself a little more room to move the engine around, droppe... Read More
Today Sai12 and I went out and bought a battery and rented the engine hoist before she had to go to work. First Amanda and I scraped and sanded the hood to begin working on removing its battle scars and rust spots. After she had to leave I had just enough time before the sun went down to prime the hood.

The Japanese compressor's bolt holes for connecting the hoses are to the right of the ports, where as on the USDM compressor the bolt holes are t... Read More
My engine finally came today after weeks of juggling finances, loads of phone calls, even the engine getting lost for a week. There wasn't even too much damage to it considering the place I bought it from didn't even put it in a crate. The wastegate actuator is trashed, exhaust guard is bashed, and a couple of connectors on the japanese wiring harness are smashed but the engine itself looks beautiful. All the damage is easily fixed with all the parts I kept so that's no problem... Read More
