Thanks man, that's exactly what I've been going for.

And the trunk is all dyed...my gray pieces were in better shape than any black ones I could probably find anyways, so I figured why not.

Hahah I know what you mean man. The burgundy and blue were cool shit back in the 80s and early 90s though. Thanks for the compliment too!

I just ordered:
A shift boot very similar to this from redlinegoods.com I got medium gray stitching while the picture shows light gray...so the stitching will be a little darker.


I also ordered this:
F1 Racing Stage 1 clutch kit from gripforce.com
I know, its a cheap clutch...but it costs less than an OE replacement one and has more gripping force. I got it for the sake of doing the swap, so if it burns up, whatever. If I cared that much, I would be doing this over christmas instead of the summer with an action clutch and a m2b4 tranny.

I sanded all the letters off myself. Then I had it powdercoated.

My clutch should be here Monday. I just need the ESP mounts and a 5 speed cluster and I'm pretty much done with parts.

I've begun cleaning the crap out of the transmission in preparation for paint. I was lucky enough to borrow an engine stand from a friend, so I mounted the transmission to it, so I can swivel it around....it will make cleaning and painting and assembly soooo much easier!

Other than prepping parts I already have, the swap progress is on a hiatus, because I need to use my next check and what money I have left for the big midwest meet in Chicago.

Once I get back from that meet though, it's on like donkey kong!

...yeah, I said it.

Clutch came in today. I'm starting to get really anxious to get this swap done, but I know I'll be rewarded if I don't rush it.

i see its coming along real nice man!! and ya dont rush anything! i have a couple questions, how hard is it to install the fuel rail? and should i swap my motor before i do a wire tuck?

I would do the wire tuck in the middle of the motor swap, while there is no motor or transmission in the bay. That will make it the easiest, and give you an opportunity to repaint/shave the bay if you want to really get into it.

The fuel rail was a piece of cake for me, but I did it with the intake manifold off the car while I was swapping to the h23 intake manifold. That way, I just bolted on the fuel line and it was done. Based on the process though, I don't see it really being any harder with everything still on the car.

Undo the plugs for the injectors, relieve fuel pressure, undo the pressure regulator and fuel line, and swap rails using new o-rings.
