well things are slowing down while i wait for answers as to weather on not i can/want to get a hold of parts from japan. so any way i have the engine about 90% complete. and everything is in the interior is all in except for the driver seat and the ecu. about all the interior needs is a little more cleanup and it should be done this week. as far as the engine goes all that is left is the TB, cams,...

well i seem to be making good progress for the moment but i am just about at a stand still on the engine. as it sits i can put the hole thing together and run with the ball for now but i am looking at a couple of minor upgrades. one of the guys i work with has a friend stationed at Kadina AFB. the last time they talked his friend was going to ship back an EVO3 turbo for my co-worker. so i talked to...

last weekend / this past week were pretty productive i guess. took a few steppes forward and only one step back-wards for the most part. finally got the transmission in place and the engine compartment about 90% done. about all that is left is hooking up the power steering, getting a couple of wire harnesses squared away, and a few miscellaneous brackets cleaned/painted and installed.

well it has been about a week and a half since i got things started. the family and i made a trip to phoenix for 5 days in the middle there so i had a little brake and didn't get much done, not to mention that i am not on leave any more so that tends to slow progress down a bit. this has ended up turning into a full on firewall forward rebuild, i ended up pulling the entire front end apart and cleaning...

OK so i finally got some pictures up today of my new car and what i have been doing to it. here she is, sorry i didn't get any pictures of it out side.

well i didn't get to much done today. got a couple of pictures taken some parts i was going to sell cleaned up a little and started working the front and out. i started by trying to straighten what was on the car out but that proved to be a little more difficult then i originally thought. so i have started pulling the front end off the eclipse actually not as difficult as i thought it would be. i...
