Called him. He's calling Exedy and calling me right back. Thanks for the heads up.

 

What's up Aggie? Finally fixed the positive connection bolt that I snapped off the solenoid on the starter. I broke it during the reassemble. Finally drove the Evo! I never mentioned this but, the clutch kit that I installed was the Competition Clutch (Stage 2)... I got it for $312.77 from a shop in Hayward California. Let me know if you are interested in this and I'll see if they still have this offer (I know you mentioned that you've already ordered the OEM disc).
*** I saw that you are getting rid of your shocks... I'm looking for shock, is anything wrong with them?

 

PMd you about the shocks. Nothing wrong with them as far as I know. Around 80k.

 

Clutch disc on the way. Most everything I need to get the motor timed and motor and tranny in the car are on the way. Sweet.

Got this in last night:

 

slowly getting away from rebuilding to "stock" specs. I like it

 

Oh, it's not going on right away I just couldn't pass it up. I knew I'd put it on eventually.

So, the machine shop ruined my turbine housing. They ended up drilling all the way through it. Tried to tap it and decided they'd ruin their bits.

Anyone have a good 9.8 housing with no broken studs?

 

PM'd you back Aggie...
*** Is that foam bit the air filter? LOL

 

Yeah, that's the Perrin filter.

Ordered a helicoil kit for the turbine housing. Here's hoping.

And this stuff just fell off the car:

 

can you get a picture of where it used to mount and how you tied everything up under there?

 

It's just up in the rear driver's side. Can't miss it.

I did exactly like pic in the EGR removal thread.

 

Flywheel back from the shop. Resurfaced and balanced:


Timing belt mocked up. Waiting for tools

 

Ordered the tensioner tool this morning. Timing next week!

I have a lower timing cover bolt snapped off in the oil cover. Hoping to get that out soon.

 

Well, after spending more on fixing the stud than I would have on a different housing, I have it back. Unfortunately, it's not super straight. I'll see how it bolts up tonight. I may be sad later.

At least there are some weight savings?

 

Progress! Everything bolted up just fine. Had to bend the oil feed just a tad. The Grimmspeed gasket is pretty thick.

 

Very nice
