Well my whole motor build up made it into HCI across 11 pages. The tranny build up will come in an issue later on.

Thanks goes out to Wiseco for pistons, Comp Cams for the 101200's and Competition Clutch for the Stage 3 Clutch and Flywheel and Marco at Magnus for the trans work and of course the shop I used to work at (still kinda do) ETDRacing.com and John for letting me use the shop to do the swap!

Quick snap shot on what happened:

1)Motor had no problems but was leaking at the head gasket a bit so decided it was motor time.
2)Bought a JDM motor and tore it all appart kept only the bottom end
3)Rebuilt the bottom end with Pistons, Rods and no BS.
4)Put back on 2g head with all old accessories (turbo, intake mani etc.)
5)Magnus built trans with Shep 4 spyder center diff
6)Tossed it all in the car with pics

I've never been into the HCI magazine, but I picked it up just because I saw that article. I was going to post up an article about it on here because I thought it had some really good info. That's crazy that it's a DSMtuners car. Really nice car, BTW. Your an inspiration to us all and your legacy will live on on my bathroom floor for many bowel movements to come .

Congrats, but then again i smack on on the back of the head for selling it.

Yes, some of us still own our DSMs. sniff.

still humping that engine stand?
