My car... Back together and running ;)

Well after limping it home from the Mitsu cookout in August I finally have her back up and running. I havent taken it out for a spin yet but I started it up yesterday.

After 4 months of working on several things on and off while school was taking most of my time I finished the major work.

My problems all started back when I got off the freeway to the cookout and pushed in the clutch and it didnt feel right. I let it out and it lost about 2" of pressure. So after taking it home and working on it a little here and there and replacing Master and Slave Cylinders (which didnt work), I spent some time taking the tranny out and the clutch pedal assembly.

Also my driver side balljoint decided to start clicking on me even though it was pretty much brand new and I found out that it seperated from where t was pushed in (so I bought a whole new control arm). GRRR

Things I accomplished:

-Removed/installed tranny
-New: Fork/TO Bearing/Pivot ball
-Had QPR weld my pedal assembly and replaced all plastic bushings (What a Bitch!)
-Replaced driverside control arm and had to cut out the bushing so I could slid in my poly bushing from my old control arm.
-Redid wiring under the dash to clean everything up (had a crapload of wiring due to alarm/keyless, logger, afc, all that other crap, stereo etc.)
-Installed a ported/polished 20G.
-Had my j-pipe/lower IC pipe modded to fit the 20G.
-Had my SS O2 dump modded to fit a Tial 38mm.
-Got rid of Cruise Control.
-Redid under the hood wiring to clean things up.
-Had my 2G exh manifold ported (collector).
-Installed 660cc Injectors.
-Installed a 4-Bolt Rear end.
-Cleaned alot of crap from every nook and cranny I could find.
-Removed firewall blanket to expose nice blue paint

I will have to test drive it mostly in the spring as it is going to storage a few blocks away and thats the only driving it will see (insurance was taken off).

Just want to say a BIG thanks to QPR especially Mike for dealing with all my crap!!

Here are a couple pics:
