First off, that is one bad-ass tranny! Seriously, i cant stop staring at it. But there's no mounting bolt holes?? Between this project and the 2JZ back-half project going on in the member projects forum, we have some really high quality daily reading on this site. I'm gonna change my screen name to "Green with Envy". I think the moderators who started this site were road racers, but we have a serious drag race invasion going on, and it's a high dollar-high class invasion at that! Keep up the high quality work-we may change some attitudes.

MSD with flexible boots. I did dimple one tube. Two years, so far so good. They were on the motor when I bought it.

I'm super impressed with the quality and the pace of progress. Where in Alabama are you and where is the shop?

Can they make your chute serve double duty as a trailer hitch? I'm thinking drag week.

Holy shit-this is going FAST! Lotsa chute pics please.

Thats a great shop to get right on it. Whenever I take my car to a shop it sits for months.

Different brands of inner tie rods have different length threads. Best to measure whatch got. A sight hole would be cool.

Visually inspect it, have a spare in case it breaks, tell everybody you have a blower.

Work on components that control the movement at a scale of inches instead of millimeters or even microns.

If it is anything like the S30, it's a lotta damn work without much pay-off. I may be preaching to the choir, but if you have a stock car and want to make dramatic changes in the firmness and handling of the car, I would do things in the following order: wheels and tires, steering coupler and rack bushings, 5-point harness, springs and shocks, bleed brakes and get more aggressive pads (only drawback is dirty wheels). Then and only then would I do suspension bushings. Actually, I would do a motor swap, and THEN do bushings. Crap, do an LSD before the bushings, and camber plates too. The contribution from bushings is minimal at best. Heck, I'd even put a fat tailpipe on it first.

Use big hose clamps Easy to install/service.

Keep it. Car will hunt really bad without if There was a thread on this within the last year. Guy removed it and car was all over the road. Replaced it and car went straight again.

Looks like a sketch but I LIKE that airdam.

I set my pedal so that it works properly. After that, I adjust for minimum wasted travel. Then, if that's all good, I try to set the clutch and the brake to the same level. But, brake gets set to allow good heel-toe with the go pedal. Get it working properly to start with. Oh yeah, the hell with what any book says on this subject. Unless you are on classiczcar.com.

Mine are here. The passenger side will need some heating and forming (don't know of that is typical or if my car is crooked)!

Is there a return spring on the pedal?

I may need the company that you worked with for the widening. Please (if you have time) post up the name and contact info for the company and especially the name of the dude (or dudette) that you worked with most closely. Then I can put them in my cell phone for future use. I am not in love with my landspeed wheels and may want something custom made up. I talked to several companies last year, but I think this one escaped my net.

Can you come clean and organize my garage (I will pay you)? Looks great.

Pray that Nitto never discontinues that tire. I did something similar a couple years back, not with widened wheels, but with shortened control arms. It was a ton of work and money. Then I changed tire brands (same size) and started rubbing. That is why my rear fenders are flared. Like you, I didn't want to cut, but now I'M FREE! Your work looks terrific and that's a beautiful car-thanks for sharing. I bought a aet of 4 hyperblacks a couple years ago-every wheel was a different color-there is no consistenct im Rota's paint booth. What did it cost for the widening per wheel?

Don't put LS1 on it. Think of all the conversations that you will no longer have that start with "What the hell you got in that thang?"

OldAndy-I for sure don't have your skills. It's looking pretty rough, but I'm making slow progress. This will be a rough airdam and if it doesn't fall off the car it will have one purpose: Ohio Mile. It probably won't even have primer on it in time.

Some idiot must not have torqued it after the brake job. Guess who that would be(?)

Probably burping out of the vent.

We're a little backwards here in Alabama, but ya'll are upside-down in Texas! Please tell me you used a sawzall and a hammer!

Be certain that DBW pedal, throttle body, and harness are for same vehicle.
