I wasn't sure what is involved as far as what you need to take apart (but i can see which parts I need to install, as it's available in a kit) If it's not too difficult, I'll do it. The Lightweight flywheel, not yet...Not until I build the trans and install an exedy twin disc setup.

Thanks! Looks like I'll be using that either this or next weekend (if all of my parts ever get here)

Yeah lsd's would be nice, but my budget is running out :) Purchasing the car and all of those parts add up quick (especially when you have rent and 2 other cars right now) I'll have to save the lsd's for a later date. Im just looking at the basic parts, and making sure I haven't overlooked anything.

just remeber to check everything and do all your preventive stuff before you start bolting on those mods.... you wouldn't want to build that car and just have it blow up on you
 
Thanks guys, we did purchase every gasket, as well as replacing the timing belt, auxillary pullies, and some other odds and ends. The Plan was to upgrade to ARP headstuds and an upgraded head gasket when I install the HKS cam shafts and water injection in a few months. Just do it all at once. Going from my knowledge in the Evo world and lack there of in the dsm world, most owners do headstuds when they replace camshafts, but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

ok you guys won. I purchased Hks 272 cams, arp headstuds, a new headgasket, and bg synchroshift. So hopefully this will be it for now.

I bought more parts etc.. i was thinking about using 5w30 mobil synthetic, I realize that back in 1990 the car prob didn't come with it...what are your thoughts on using synthetic in a car that wasn't designed during a time where synthetic oil was prevalent
