I met this crazy guy Kung probably like 4-5 years ago, he was working at a small shop near my house and had just bought a shiny new IX...years later he's worked at RS and built the heck out of his car and tonight he called me up...said he had a little thing out of a hyundai 4b11 motor and thought I might want it
Picked it up, threaded it in, fit perfect!!!! Put on oil filter, topped up the oil, checked connections (missed one plug), turned over a few times w/o injectors to help circulate oil and then she fired right up! Got it good and hot while sitting there and then changed the oil.
Also got my front 2-piece MR rotors (thanks Shane!) turned tonight (thanks spazzy!) and they'll go on the car tomorrow with the orange Girodisc SS pads.
After that, bleed the ACD, check the oil and off we go!
