oh yeah tuesday i put some prothane motor mount inserts in. for now just the front 2, i will probably put the rear one in but idk when. still is a huge difference than stock. i dont really notice any better acceleration or anything, but they definetly help throttle response i think. plus it stops your mounts from throwing your engine around all over the engine bay. all in all for $40 i like this mod better than any mod ive bought yet.

okay guys. i have ~$300 extra from some extra shifts at work. i cant decide what i want to do next.
option A
http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-440858.aspx
http://store.excelerateperformance.c...0/i-55360.aspx
and
http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-285811.aspx
option B
http://www.ebay.com/itm/F1-RACING-ST...ht_3393wt_1033
if option b then i will be getting act bearings for it since the only thing ive heard going wrong with the f1 is the release bearing going bad.

hmm weird. your guys comments didnt show up in my control panel. i ended up getting neither options.
BUT instead i got an obx twin loop, subframe brace (like i shouldve a while ago), type r front and rear lips (polyurethane), another set of headers since mine leak like crazy and set off a system too lean this time their megans, and for $40 i figured why not and got an ebay short shifter with a type r style **** and red stitched boot. ill probly get ES bushings for the shifter before i put it in.
but probly with my next paycheck (in 2 weeks) i will be getting ss brake lines, maybe the rotors and pads depending on how much it is, and getting some fresh brake fluid since the fluid is like brown lol. oh yeah anyone know if the brake line kits come with lines for the rear too or just the front? i still have rear discs so idk if there is a difference.
edit: wow i meant i still have rear drums not discs lol

Meh, it's a lot more work now then I'm prepared for...
Need to get the tranny, clutch and all. Manual ECU for best performance, new center console (finding a tan one will be impossible), a shifter... and learning how to drive stick again... (yes, I've only driven a manual once... and not well, haha!)
Not to mention all the shop labor costs. Transmissions are far too complicated for me to tackle on my own. I don't have the necessary equipment either.

well. finally got the crank pulley off. only to find NO WOODRUFF KEY.
that explains why it took almost all of me and a friends weight standing on the cheater pipe to get it off. oh and a few broken 1/2 in drive extensions. maybe the PO thought if they torqued the **** outta the bolt he didnt need a key.
then i found one of the lower timing belt cover bolts stripped to hell and back. gotta figure out how to get it off then put the new one on and time it right, put it all back together and hope it builds compression and i dont need new valves.
fun fun

looks like this thread is gonna turn more into an engine rebuild thread. from what ive read its fairly easy to rebuild a d series. but i threw a rod bearing aparently. and i cant find a longblock for anything under 1000 and thats with 100k already on it.

Re: PWN's build thread
agreed im probably doing mine next summer hopefully there is an incredible u-pull by me where i can get a trans for like 100 at most there is a sale day for trans where i can get one for 50 lol but im gonna start out running clutch lines and drilling holes installing the pedal and all the small stuff first to save some time on swap day and i felt the same way you did about doing a swap thinking its too hard but then my view changed on cars and i stopped seeing a car as something only a mechanic can fix but just a bucket of nits and bolts and thats all it really is i just have to find an engine hoist now lol

oh yea and im gonna take the oil pan and bottom cage thing off tomorrow and take a look at the rods and the crank. hopefully i can just get away with putting new rod bearings in, and if i have to new rods but im crossing my fingers the crank is okay.
