Received my last few parts from Tasca and my tune from Lund yesterday. This is going to be a busy weekend trying to get the car back together so I can get it running and break the clutch in. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

Got a few things done the past 2 days. Had a buddy come over last night and help put the clutch in. Tonight I got my battery harness back in and rewired my 2 step, also installed a new slave cylinder and my MGW race spec low pro shifter. Trans is now ready to go in so I'll probably get that done tomorrow night and hopefully start on the long tubes!

Managed to get the transmission back in with the help of a few buddies.

Got everything swapped over from the stock k member to the new BMR one.

Did the long tube install with the k member out. Got the new k member installed and everything tightened down.

Installed a BMR spherical differential bushing. This was the biggest pain out of everything I installed. It would definitely make it easier to just drop the axle.

Got the rest of the exhaust bolted up to the long tubes. Switched to and x pipe from an h.

Installed the new TSS billet OPGs.

Ordered some new license plates that I feel are very fitting for the car lol.

Got the MGW race spec low pro installed. I absolutely recommend this shifter. It is top notch quality and the shifts with this are very crisp and direct.

After loading the tune from Lund I primed the oil system and then went to start the car. It fired up on the first try and ran like a top! It was such a satisfying feeling knowing I did everything by myself with the help of some friends. Also I did everything on jack stands and although it is difficult it can definitely be done, although, I highly recommend a lift lol.

I've been doing some datalogs and Lund says everything is looking good so far! I'm going to continue to get the tune dialed in and hoping to hit the track in March!

Nice! Definitely a good feeling when you do something yourself and it all works smoothly. I don’t have the patience anymore to do my own work lol. I got my tuned finalized yesterday with Jon Jr. I’ll probably be hitting the track soon get some times in before i start changing stuff.
