Really, this hasn't been too bad. It has been taking us forever because everyone has been comming over to see the unusual new motor in town. Here are a few snapshots of the work so far:

it begins:

we forgot the shifter and decided to make a funny. JDM short shifter;)

before clean:

After clean:

My friend Derrick. He will be tearing up Formula D in a 1978 El Camino. He has won several drift competetions in it, and he is the best driver I have ever met:

Keith (240_keyy) Mr. Fix-It, owner TGL Garage, all around bad mofo:

Me. 100% JDM Bling

The story so far. Tomorrow everything that will make it work goes on!

Well, I decided to be a bd a$$ and ditch it. I didn't have it on my RX-7, and it really wasn't that bad. Plus, I think I can get my entrance to Formula D paid for by S14 King since I gave the setup to him to use on his new S13 w/ SR. ;)
