Ok so it all begins. Again lol

I have so far ripped off every peice of suspension, sub frame Steering rack, and pulled out the motor. Powdercoating everything like the rear and bedlining the bottom of the car. I am replacing everything on the front. All new bushings, tie rods, ball joints, seals, bearings, motor mounts, hoses, fender well liners, and all new hardware.

I am also converting to hydro. Instead of a Hasport kit I am going to do it proper. Install all new lines, slave cylinder and the works.

And then doing a wire tuck.
So lets hope I can get this all done in a little over a month

Mods going back in.

Brand new USDM Type R tranny
ATS 4.9 Final Drive
Spoon Clutch and Pressure plate/exedy(not sure yet)
Skunk2 Front Camber kit
Cusco Front Sway bar
Mugen Shock Bushings
Mugen Control Arm Bushings
Mugen Shifter Cable Bushings
Mugen Tension Rod Bushings
Spoon Thermostat
Benen Fuel Rail
Earls Inline Fuel Filter
Hydrolic conversion

So onto the fun.
