Its hell in the bung hole man...cutting out the firewall and tig welding it back on is no joke...

i sound retarded because this was hard and it was a big accomplishment...we both went into it blind at first

if you look at the video, that green blow by plug...haha after 10 mins i realized blocking that killed my idle...once we found some hoses off a jaguar it ran and idled perfect!

I was taking mine off as well and got lost. I got pissed off and decided to just start yanking on it. Theres some screws that screw into some retaining clips under the spoiler. The only way to get em out is to keep yanking the spoiler foward than back. After a good few minutes of hard yanking each way it'll pop right out. You'll then have to take a screwdriver or something flat to pry the plastic clips out. Then either cover them with some kind of tape until you weld em up or just start welding. Just make sure you dont yank UP on the spoiler. I'd asume you could bend the trunk metal off the framing and it would be loose (brake the tack welds of the trunk metal to the metal bracing brackets).Good luck.

Sweet ride. I will also be doing an SR swap that came out of my previous S14. Made 460HP @ 24PSI with it in that car with boost leaks. But alot of little things to fix first.....yes the damn top too.

thanks guys,

need to improve on the quality of the drive from now on, like bushings and bracing along with weight saving...

but she's solid and very enjoyable.

i would love to get rid of those heavy doors...
