About 1 week shipping via USPS, 3 days to perform work at Racefab, then about 3 days return DHL shipping. It was longer for me though, because for whatever reason Rob was not accepting paypal. Had to do wire transfer from my bank. Also cost me an additional $50 for the transfer...

Whats worse is not only did the bank charge me an additional $50 to do the wire, the next day he tells me the payment was $53 NZD short. Turns out his bank was also skimming off the top.

No bull**** this thread and you guys inspired me lol.
Warmest I can get garage when say its 23 outside is like 39-41 with a small elec heater. But I dress warm. Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey also helps lol
After several days of a few hours here and there, I am almost ready to pull the motor and trans. Luckily Harbor Freight had a huge sale. Got 2ton hoist for 179 bucks, and 1/2ton engine stand for 59.
Bought and assembled 2ton cherry picker, load leveler, engine stand.
Got All IC piping, rad/heater-core piping, intercooler, turbo assembly etc off. Electrical, clutch, PS, AC and stuff also. The only remaining things to do before I can pull motor/trans as one is to disconnect the transfer case, axles, and oil cooler. Coming right along.
Putting hoist together
Harbor freight Load leveler, IC/crash beam removed
Hoist ready for work
I love my dog...
Turbo/manifold removed
Look at all the room for activities!
Ready for removal besides axles, transfer-case, Oil-cooler lines etc.

The plan once its out is as follows. But I welcome any suggestions as well. This is all under the hood stuff, still need to install the TRE rear end. But that will be a seperate project. Will prob do Buschur billet mounts and mustache bar delete or Buschur bar...
Underhood/Engine/trans related:
Cleaning, weight reduction, painting
EGR Delete
AC Delete
Racefab pan/Tomei Baffle. Tomei oil-cooler thermostat delete.
Maybe Ralliart Thermostat
New Timing belt, accessory belt, water pump, Zaklee Clear Cam Gear Cover
6spd to TRE stage 3 5spd swap plus Excedy clutch and flywheel. Install Works clutch line. AMS shift knob, STM aluminum under hood shifter cable bushings.
And once its all back in:
Evo6 Koyo and Koyo cap
Samco Hoses
Upgraded front mount oil cooler, and power steering cooler
ETS short route upper and lower piping, undecided on core. Maybe ARC or just go heavy bar and plate and get the ETS 3"...
Convert to SpeedDensity so SD intake and IC piping to match? I need to research this more...
Larger injectors for e85
Evo X fusible link/finish batt relocation
