Awesome   like the idea of using the cowl to hide wires.

thanks, it worked out pretty good, lots of room in there.

very nice! makin some progress!

thanks, progress has been slow lately.  i have a car stuffed in the garage now too. its a 95 eagle talon tsi (awd turbo model).  it needs a transmission.  The closest place i could find one for a good price was in CO. my buddy is down there this week and picking it up for me.  hopefully i will have that out of the garage in about a week.

did you get that clutch off ebay? im thinkin about the same setup but for a 7m non turbo. have you drove it yet?

yeah its off ebay. the brand is XTD.  Its gonna be a few months before i can drive it.  i still have to get axles, air shocks, and build the link setup.  I started the engine and used the clutch just to make sure its working, but thats it.

[SCyotacrawler420]

i cant wait to see this thing on the road, my next paycheck im taking my block an head an turbo up north to a machinist an spending 2500 for the works, full decked with really professional RA's an torque plate when milling, bored an honed, line boring, rebuilding turbo to a .57 trim, 4 angle valve jobs an porting exhaust an polishing intake an it will be fully balanced an blue printed, an pistons an rods are all gonna be balanced within 2 grams, ya. a big waste of money for a wheeler but it will be a very nice motor in it. haha, i cant wait to feel the power

[SCyotacrawler420]

I'm getting 80 series axles for it next month,  and yes I am also doving the rear.  the rigs interior is stripped out right now so i can start on that this weekend

x2!

[SCyotacrawler420]

ya, i mean im only 20 an i just paid off all my debt an everything, so all my money goes to my wheeler an my soon to be bought 2003 f350 tow rig an wheeler setup for all under 40k is not bad huh?

[twistedtoy92]

i got into debt young... then it got worse from a few bad choices.... I'm finally getting back on top of it and will be buying my own house and shop this year along with getn the runner wheelable again now that I have a reliable DD 

[pumkin toy]

yeah debt sucks!  i love having my own house and stuff, but i hate making the payment!  i dont really have much extra money to spend on the runner right now.  i was planning on doing a big job on a buddies rig for 2k.  sounds like that might not be working out now.  that really sucks cuz i was gonna use 800 of that for my 80 series axles

[twistedtoy92]

thats how I have been getting parts for my rigs.... damn side jobs... thats why I just wanna stick with my damn leafs and what not so I can get the engine built, throw the cage and sliders on and figure out the bumper situation! I figure in a few years i'll have all the stuff to do the links/2jz/tons on my 92 and wheel the piss outta the runner in the meantime!

[pumkin toy]

yeah on this side job i was planning on buying a tube bender and the tube bending software too.  would have been a sick purchase to make, looks like i still wont have my own bender for a while now

[twistedtoy92]

damn that would kick ass!!!! tube bender.....  thats another reason I need my own shop, sidejobs at home and I can work on my own rig at home too.. Here at work i have to have the rig out in the back by monday morning so all the bays are cleared up. I had my 92 in here for a year and my foreman started flippin my so I finally pulled a couple late nighters and got the frame welded back on and moved it out with the forklift....

[minicrawlin]

dam dude that guy backed out?! suck man! did his wife find out or what?! ha ha ha     

[GrenadedToy]

hey could you do me a big favor next time you're workin on your truck if you want, take a measurement from where your bellhousing bolts to your motor to the front of your radiator. Id really appreciate it. Just trying to get a feel for how much room Im not gonna have haha.

[SCyotacrawler420]

dam, tahts a bummer on the side job, a bender would have been a nice thing too have on hand

[pumkin toy]

well he doesnt know for sure yet, but i guess his wife didnt get as much money in her loans for school as she expected, so he might have to give her some of his money.  gonna find out for sure next week.

looks like 32" to the front of my v6 radiator. That leaves me about 1 1/8" between the radiator and the stock fan pulley.  I am using an external electric fan that barely fits between the grill and radiator.  My engine head is about 1" from the firewall and i still had to cut the innerstructure out so i could move the radiator forward a bit.

dam, tahts a bummer on the side job, a bender would have been a nice thing too have on hand

yeah it sucks, i will get my own bender eventually though

well thats messed up....

[GrenadedToy]

I know right...

at least they aren't too spendy I guess. The reviews from most people that break them in right are saying they have no problems with them so who knows.. but definitely an eye opener..

[THK Matt]

Supra clutches are not cheap in general.

http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/SAC0/K7006202.oap?pt=01351&ppt=C0015

Thats for an OEM Sachs Clutch Kit for an 87 N/A.
cheapest ive found.

any other will run you $300 and up.. the turbos are even more.

[GrenadedToy]

hmm tells me its $149.99... dont think I wanna run a stock clutch though. maybe I should to keep the w56 alive.

I can get a 22RE clutch kit for $80 all day long at NAPA.

[SCyotacrawler420]

get a worthy clutch, spend the money to get the nicer clutch, its worth it in the long run

X2

Its ALWAYS worth spending the money on a good clutch.... I put the Marlin 1800# semi metallic in my 93 and it rocks in all areas. Great for DD'ing and hooks up awesome offroad my 85 runners gettin the same clutch but ceramic with a 35 lb. flywheel, should be reeeeealllll nice

I'd say break yours in real nice and dont slip it. As long as you know how to drive clutch without slippin the out of it then it SHOULD last a descent amount of time!

[minicrawlin]

whats the big deal on the clutch, i dont use a clutch when i'm in my rockcrawler, i dont get it?!  i guess i am still running a 22R!        maybe i should swap in an LS7


dual ultimates rule though ha ha

? unless you have an automatic you still "USE" your clutch...... right? The clutch is a coupler between your engine and transmission so if you have a manual transmission then you HAVE to use it.... just sayin....
