Pulled transmission, transfer case, and replaced oil pan, now just have to replace tranny and bolt everything back up.
 
I replaced My oil pump plate and gaskets today. I dislike how much of a pain the crank pully bolt is to get off.
 
Working on installing my Prothane engine mounts.
 
Just finished the solid alluminum rear diff bushings..

No more clunking! :D
and very little road noise..
 
Got it running and made the 40+ miles drive home without incident. Did have to pull over once and crank the boost up, it was at 10 psi, cranked it up to 15. Car felt alot better after that. Also had to due a quick tune on it as the previous tune had it running really lean now. Also replaced the exhaust while rebuilding the engine and trans. Not as loud now. You can actually hear yourself think. Well here the pics.

- Changed my transmission fluid.
- Installed a universal battery tie down.
- Was going to take my rear wheels to get new rubber installed on them, but I left my lug nut wrench at my friend's house.

I noticed that my stock SMIC is missing two bolts. I think they are 12mm, but I'm not sure on the thread pitch. Any ideas?

It's standard pitch for 8.0mm. 1.25? Go to the hardware store, they'lll have 13mm heads. Bite the bullet, buy them at the stealership, they'll be $1.25 each, but they'll have 12mm heads. PM me if you need to.
 
Got my new FMIC Piping all fabbed up, and back from the welder today, now to make a Small scoop to scavange air from under the FMIC to help with cooling.

Would love to see pics when done.

Wet sanded my reverse lights (had that yellow tint to them) so now they're clear :D

Removed the "Eclipse" emblem on the center light

Stood there for 10 minutes cussing to myself about how much I hate Missouri and wish I was still in California so I don't have to drive down a stupid ass dirt road. :(
 
Np, for the Piping? or the Scoop?

If it's for the scoop I'm in the cardboard phase, but I do have the sheetmetal, and alot of time.

I'd love to see the scoop pics through the cardboard phase and the final product. :thumb:
 
Tried to fix the sun roof slider. Didn't get done because I thought I might break the little black bits. Will try again in the morning.
 
She is sitting on jackstands. Well not actually mine it's my friends car i'm building for him but it's come such a long way that i think of it as mine.
