Pulling out the transmission!

This clutch was roasted...
[DOUBLEPOST=1409287751][/DOUBLEPOST]Shop did a nice job on the flywheel. Unsure of the brand of this flywheel, P.O. said it was a fidanza but its the only thing I don't have receipts for.

The XTD stage 4 unsprung 6 puck and 2300lb pressure plate setup I decided to go with. Oem throw out bearing of course.

OEM vs XTD throwout bearings. OEM on the left.

The XTD tob dwarfs the OEM.
[DOUBLEPOST=1409287984][/DOUBLEPOST]Getting some interior work done too. Got the AEM wideband all wiring in and powered.[DOUBLEPOST=1409291275][/DOUBLEPOST][DOUBLEPOST=1409324267][/DOUBLEPOST]I stripped the interior down a little bit and gave it a nice cleaning, I plan to dye all of the interior pieces black and I am going to build a custom sub box in place of the rear seats and a custom floor for the trunk. The work will be done in my cabinet shop over this year of school. (Senior year, here we go.)



I plan to wrap the headliner and the cloth on the doors, and maybe take apart the door panel and wrap that in a nice black suede or just a black and white plaid or something, who knows. The sub box/floor will be wrapped in the same fasion as the headliner with the same material. Only thing I haven't thought of yet is the carpet, which I'm sure I will be able to dye or something. I would keep the tan interior, but it is just too dirty/worn. I tried scrubbing it with warm water and dish soap but no results.

I really like the shift knob, and the megan short shifter has a nice throw. Gives it a nice race car feel
[DOUBLEPOST=1409324571][/DOUBLEPOST]Heres the details on the motor build.
The previous previous owner had the work done about a year ago, at ~158k miles. It is currently at 182k. He used one of these ebay kits and brought it to a machine shop to do the work. Don't worry, I have a gates water pump and all OEM timing components on the way.

Radiator, thermostat, timing components, and throw out bearing clip should be here tomorrow, and i plan to drive it tomorrow so we'll see!
