| That's a pain. Did you pump the brakes up and everything? Extra room once the pads wear in a little. Well, not the caliper on the front wheels maybe, I'm guessing they don't move. | |

Try shoving a LS block in your oven and see how that works out lol. My mom would KILL me if I suggested putting a engine block in her oven. | |

| Needs more camber, tire basically running the fender lip, and obnoxious cursive stickers on the windshield to become apart of the stance crowd. | |

Originally I was using VHT header paint which was more of a matte ceramic coating that was very porus and wasn't going to work well in an underhood environment. Makes me wonder why they even sell it in white. That's for when your restoring your 1960's-70's dirt race car. Almost everyone painted the headers white back then. An a few orange... | |

| Alright, real update now. Yay, parts!  Boo, wrong parts.  Â The clutch slave cylinder they sent me was for the T5 that the turbo model had, even though I specified NA. Oh well, $3 part, don't care. What pissed me off that the tensioner on the timing kit was machined off so I had to order a whole new kit.  But hey, new kit fit right!  The rest went together nicely.  Also found out why the temp sensor was giving off odd readings. It was 100% correct, there just wasn't a thermostat in this thermostat housing. Good thing I ordered one anyways.  As long as I can find some flywheel bolts this engine should be back in the car tomorrow. Then starts the fun part, wiring.   - Quote :

| I dont want to jump ahead, but you said this was a standby motor till you can build a RB? What power are you expecting from the inline you're building now? Stock transmission? | |
