Looks pretty tight , chief! Nice to see another family man entertaining his family with his hobby. How in the hell did you break your finger? Be safe while doin gthis because your wife and son need you waaaaaayyy more than a car. But again, congratulations on your re-install and I hope everything works out for the better this time around.

RPS Max Puck KA24 $433 RPS max series clutch uses a stiff (+50% for KA) pressure plate, harsher 6 puck disc (rated 475ft-lbs for KA).

it was a total of 442 shipped. im sure i might could have got it cheaper somewhere else but i do alot of buying from this guys and there great.and also the shipping is only 9 bucks on anything they got.it only took 3 days to get to me too. http://www.splparts.com

Wow, I really admire people swapping engines outdoor, cool.

Another crazy thing is that you swap in the CA including harness and stuff around it. It´s pretty much the same job as swapping in a RB.We are spoiled here since we got the CA in all S13´s, never had to remove the harness.

Enough of that, keep up the good work!

Looks very good! I like the Black Top. Great to see so many people swaping thier own engines instead of being ripped off by so called "shops".Good Luck!
