Project Lex

[Halon]

Well was hoping to have a lot more progress on this by now, but the wife and I came down with a pretty bad flu bug so haven't been to active.

Here's the little bit I've gotten done.

- Flywheel got the new friction surface on.
- Had two bolts welded into the adapter plate to act as studs for the starter. Drilled the start holes out. Worked out great. Thanks a million Kerry!
- Mounted adapter back onto motor.
- Mounted flexplate and FW adapter to motor (loctite)

Went to mount the FW, but I think I need some different hardware. The ARP ones don't work with my JWT Flywheel :( But all is good, Collins is sending me some socket head bolts that should do the trick :D

Looking good! Can't wait to see this thing out on the road!

What kind of clutch are you running now?

[Halon]

It's all 350z components. So 350z lightweight JWT flywheel. And 350z JWT clutch w/ upgraded metallic disc.

Motor is in. Man putting this pig in makes me realize how easy I had it with my 1G DSM, lol.

Scheides, the first picture is just for you. :)

BTW anyone looking for a cheap oil change, Oreilly is having a sale. $11.99 for 5qt Oreilly oil and Microguard filter. Not a bad option for the DD!

Sweet! Good work man! Are you going to get it back up and running with the old IM setup or will you jump right into that project next?

[Halon]

Right now I think I'm nervous enough about what I've done so far, so I'll just try to get it running/driving as-is. Save the intake mani and ignition for later.
