Heres what i know....
The car was my Cousins he bought back in 09 drove it for maybe a year or 2 then melted the clutch letting everyone drive it. after that it has been sitting ever since with the clutch HALF done... =[
so the Trans a Misc parts are scattered all over the car... so who knows what im missing and whats actually there.. i have no exp with these cars (i come from the toyota scene) any help is appreciated!!!
Also im in Vallejo,CA if anyone is close and wants to help out.
goals are to get this baby back in action asap although im not the biggest "baller" so parts and what not wont be flowing in like crazy. but be assured they will... once i figure out what i actually need.

Reason: Title
will do man and thank you! Just trying to figure out where to start lol..
one thing at a time my friend. if you say the clutch got roasted and the install was left unfinished i suggest doing that first and go from there after its done!

Thats the plan any Recommendations? like where to even shop? also what else would be worth replacing/upgrading while im in there?
Yeah, thats the one!!!. MAP is pretty good w/their pricing. Sometimes calling in your order will get you more of a discount (make sure you mention to them, youre an EvOM member & saw them on our site $$$$. Should replace the flywheel while youre at it!!!

You should look around the rack & pinion & make sure the bushes look OK. Check the sway bar bushes as well & your tie rod ends. Motor mounts as well

Dude get that car covered and don't sit gear on the paint, these things scratch so easy, unless you are planning to respray all good go for it. First get shop manual, they are not hard to put together but just fiddly and takes time, don't rush anything and maybe if you are planning on big HP get your trans and tc built while its out and a good clutch, good luck

cars been washed and covered the clear coat is done on the roof and hood scratches all over. Planning on fixing then probably wrap it.
Okay so finally getting some time and taking a week off from 7\12-7\19 so im going to hopefully... getting this thing on the road and driving for the first time in who knows how long...
I went with the ACT HD Sprung clutch and streetlite flywheel
I need to get some ARP flywheel bolts and all new fluids any input on this is appreciated i plan on running AMSOIL fulids throughout but like i said let me know what you use and if im wrong but ive always had great results with AMSOIL (4runner,IS300,MK6Jetta)
Anything else i should check and or do before getting this on the road? or even starting it?
