so yeah, finally got around to building my motor, i hope to finish putting it together by tomorrow night. I stripped the engine compartment and took it to the shop. they had it prepped, painted, and ready to be picked up in 6 hours. Here are some pics

 

now is the time to laugh at all them haters, that **** looks real good man

 

that driver side ball joint was a pain in the ***.. looks good

 

Only if that was a DA teg Hands Down bro.. good work

 

Doesn't get much cleaner than that!

 

RHD is the ****.

 

too much Yellow

Nice job.

What kinda motor/tranny mount is that in the rear?

 

Looking sweet - good luck on the installation

<-- patiently waiting for road pics!

 

i assume this was the salvage itr that had a white jdm firewall and front end put on?

looks real clean

It looks like a factory mount with Red inserts .

Btw engine bay looks clean man now you have to clean every part of your engine to match that clean bay

 

So fresh and so clean.

heyyy RHD!!

 

thanks for all the comments guys, and yes its the converted ITR. i've been working on the car since wednesday. i pulled the motor and stripped the engine bay down wednesday night, went out and washed the car at 2am in the cold. took it to the paint shop at 10am and they called me at 4 saying it was done, i brought it home that night. I started rewrapping all the wire harnesses and cleaning everything. Hell if you look closely, you will see that all nuts and bolts are SHINY as hell. (except the strut tower, upper control arm, and Strut Bar nuts, bu i am going to order those)

anyways, Im just building a new motor and i work at a machine shop so cleaning everything isnt a problem.

I just have to get a little bit more time at the shop. I have to spring up the head, and finish rebuilding my rods, mock everything up once and checking my clearances, take measurements for compression, and then a final clean. Then it goes together. I should see just under 200whp with 81.25 bore. We'll see

EDIT - Rob, its a stock rear mount with energy insert. I've owned a couple DA tegs and they always include both style rear motor mount inserts so i got that for free. I want to get stiffer, but i have to wait on money now, i still need to get some other motor parts after it all goes in. so yeah...

 

Looking great man!

is this easily registerable/insurable?

besides all the overspray on the steering rack

 

Sweet!!!

 

excellent job. what did you do about the VIN engraving on the firewall?

 

thanks, and the overspray will probly be brake cleaned off as best as i can. im not going to tape everything off and paint it though.

as for registering it, its already been registered for quite a while as a lhd car.
