I'm very used to this type of thing happening when it comes to cars, but man the weather is deteriorating quickly and I'm getting a little flustered. Talked with them again today, the guy said he was sorry, he needed the measurement again (3rd) time, and it was going to be his first priority...

Nope, apparently they were behind last week so they said they would get it done this week. I can't say that i am surprised, thats how things seem to always go with car parts. Ill let you guys know when it arrives (hopefully tomorrow).

I really wanted to but the opportunity did not let me. When we finally got the flywheel on the engine and i took it back home, i could not get the flywheel back off and i didn't want to have to forcefully persuade it off or go out and get a puller to get it off (i was in a time crunch). From...

Right now, at idle with the tranny engaged or not engaged i don't hear any rattle of any sort. Now once i get the car moving and drive it around a bit maybe a rattle will develop, and if that is the case i will definitely let you know. Right now, next week my drive shaft should be here and i...

i did not specify that thickness no, but in a way i did. See that flywheel had to stick out decently far from the crank in order for the stock clutch system to work properly. The offset from the adaptor plates is the culprit. I guess they could have tapered it off to save weight and designed...

No, it came from some shop in california and i forgot the name, but when i see if it works ill find it out and post back up here for sure. This conversion will be much easier with this flywheel. Anyway, so i ordered my drive shaft today (aluminum 1-piece) and it soon be in by next week! Ill...

Well hey man, once i get it running ill let you know how she runs! Right now im waiting on a guy to build me a one piece aluminum driveshaft, well see where i sit at the end of this week. Hopefully it will be in the mail by then... I will say that she starts great and i thought we were going...

Hey guys, after a long time away i am briefly back! Its been a real heart ship getting this flywheel done, but at last, it is. I picked it up on monday and i dropped the engine and tranny in the car last night and spent the better part of today trying to figure out why the car wouldn't start...

cribbj Thanks for the input, i will PM andrew today. Do you remember what he said about the deal with RPS? I really don't care where i get this flywheel from, as long as its made by a good company, and it works and i can use streetable clutch options with it, ie anything that the stock 2jz...

That pedal is a pain in the butt... also that (what i believe to be) steering wheel tilt computer thing will now not have a home, duct tape right? Also, when i put my tranny on the engine i never noticed there being a gap there where the starter comes forward, wish i wasn't 400 miles away so i...

sorry i missed your post bmpiazzola, ill try and post some pictures soon! Small update: When i went home for winter break i worked on the car a bit (both 6 speed swap and other things im doing at the same time). When i left to come back to school, i left the engine, tranny, and all...

Small update, dropped the engine and tranny and all associated parts at the shop yesterday that has the hook-up with RPS. Hopefully ill get something back soon. Ill update as i get updated!

You guys know me well, just like yourselves! jtjerry, these guys are right, its all about the challenge, and what originality you have accomplished when you are done. Anybody can build a civic with all bolt on parts.... can you turbo a sc400 is the real question... :). I feel like the...

Barry: No, sorry i do not Scott: My project was put on hold before i was able to get as far as the driveshaft. My work stopped when school began, and it has been on hold for about 4 months, school is not easy, but im learning a lot (which is the point i guess?). You are almost at the point i...

Hey guys, im just wondering how many of you on here are mechanical engineers? Right now im working for my degree in it, and my sophomore year is really proving very, very difficult. I keep hearing that sophomore year is the hardest, but im not sure how true that can be with circuits, heat...

+1 for v160

No not really, i knew nothing would bolt up properly, but that should always be expected when it comes to working on cars!

Yeah the plastic console should work, the leather boot will adjust just fine i think. And yeah, i am using the adapter ring. Kind of funny that the distance my transmission mount is off by is the same thickness as the adapter plates... lol you will need a decent size piece of aluminum. Im...

This will also be something you will have to deal with somehow, im debating my options right now... this is the transmission mounting plate.

not exactly.... haha You will have to do some cutting, i used an angle grinder
