Installing new ACL bearings today, pistons and rings come tomorrow and dropping it all in over this weekend, hooray!
On another note I really need to update my profile pic, that was three 1g's ago!

Pulled lower dash. Tried to figure out how I'm going route all these wires from cluster pod into engine bay. I'm leaning heavily towards cutting a new hole in the firewall.

I would. I will be for doing my tuck. I think that it would just be easier having another access hole.

I made and installed the washer shifter base mod. Started planning out the routing of the wires and lines for an engine bay tuck.

Sanded the hood ready for paint, still painting the car. Shopping for transmission parts.

Installed a rebuilt throttle body from throttlebody.Com( props to steve, he did a great job). Changed front o2 sensor and change plugs and wires all ngk.

Took front bumper cover off and got all of the top harness off and labeled for wire/line tuck.

Need to jack the car up to get the wires underneath off and labeled and to take fenders off.

ECU is out and in a dry place and fuse box is dangling!

Official start of fall/winter dress up!!!!

Installed ES shifter base bushings.

Cut hole on lower edge of center console so I can run e-manage ultimate cable under drivers seat.

Located perfect location for new firewall hole. There is a spot right next to where the shift cables go through that is prepped for something from the factory (A/T maybe?). Noise/heat shield in engine bay has a ready to remove section in this area.

removed door handle so I can put in the new one when it gets delivered

Took trans to tre to get rebuit.

Reinstalled manual boost controller. For some reason WG pressure with an MHI actuator is only 9lb on my 16g. Set it to around 10lb with a bicycle pump. Also tweaked the hatch mechanism a bit to try to get it to pop open more consistently. It seemed to be slightly crooked, it does work better but could still use the spring mod.

Took both fenders off and set car on jack stands.

Got the rest of the wiring disconnected and labeled from the engine bay.

Got the drivers side fender wires labeled, cut, and ran back inside the cab.

Got the wires that were in the front underneath the car all ran back into the bay.

All that's left for me to do in order to move the fuse box is to label and cut the wires going into the fire wall on the passenger side!

Then the fun begins!! So far total hrs for wire/line tuck = 6

Was this using VHT's Wrinkle black in the can?

Installed the bigGER brake upgrade 276mm to 294mm.

Pulled the engine and tran back out again to install my new southbend clutch and fidanza setup. Once again have to replace more seals as well.

Found out that my boost controller wasnt working because it came with the ball and the spring installed wrong. Swapped them around and it works great.

Sat my new block in the engine bay, egr delete, deleted all other non-necessary vacuum lines and charcoal canister. Now just to get the car back together and get trans put in.

Took my eprom ecu out of the car to get ready to send it to ECMTuning.

ordered a greddy oil cooler sandwich and 16 row cooler.

and stared alot at my almost finished hunk-o-shite.

i do that more than anything lately...

Cleaning up my wires harness mess shortening and removing stuff, and making it more custom, painting the hood, and finishing up painting and clearing the bay, shopping for clutch, waiting on tre transmission.

Washed the Talon yesterday, and today I cleaned and conditioned the leather, steering wheel, dash and center console. Now it's shiny inside and out.

Put in a new o2 sensor. Shopped around for some paint to redo the vc. Washed and waxed my gsx.

All I did was push the car out wash her and ask why she hates me so much[DOUBLEPOST=1412771659][/DOUBLEPOST]Wish I knew why the pic is sideways

broke another door handle trying to install it my hands are to big and I got pissed off

I just took the drivers door handle off to fix the lock that would not turn, mission success! Lock works!
The 10 mm bolt on the other side of the glass holding the handle in is a pita, the bars are a bigger pain.
I got to take it back off and see why the rubber isn't sitting perfect, it rained and some water came in

TO bad you weren't close WIll, I'd lend my not so big hands to help ya out
One of the advantages to being a not so big guy, fit in almost every car comfortably, and have no problem squeezing into
those impossible places! Here we will give you enough clearance to reach the bolt, but not turn a wrench

Lol I had to fix my door handle that I broke for the same reason. I daydream often of cutting a huge hole into the door just so I can use both hands.
