FIDANZA 9LB FLYWHEEL FTMFFW!!!!!
all these surprises makes me wonder what may be INSIDE the motor..... Pistons? Rods? stroker crank? lolol
new purchases-
Fidanza replacement friction plate
F1 Stage 3 6 puck sprung clutch (i know it's a cheapo, but i don't have a very big budget...)

No offense but that would kind of spook me a bit. Modded parts especially improved clutch equipment to me says the motor was run hard before it was pulled. I personally would be afraid the previous owner beat on the motor and then ditched it.

Updates!! i got the HKS cams and rocker arm stoppers out of the old SR, and ready for the new one, just sitting in my car port looking all sexy, i got the cheap *** clutch on the way as well as a a new friction surface plate for the Fidanza coming... no new clutch set up in the new SR FTMFW!!
i also finally got the motor paid for on Monday through paypal, Nesar at JDM online wasn't able to run my MasterCard for some reason even though his merchant account was set up, and it shipped out yesterday from Canada, and should be here around Friday...
what's good about JDM online, is that since i've had to wait over a week to get this motor shipped, he said go ahead and use pay pal, but it kinda screws him... how you ask? due to the exchange rate from US to CA money, when he gets paid, it will equal roughly out to $800CDN, and not the $1075USD, but he said he'd do it cause i've been waiting for a while, nice guys over there, and he's throwing in the coil pack cover w/allen bolts for free, so woot woot!!!
i also traded my Ebay cat back for a 5 lug swap (traded mine for a Xbox 360 w/games and all kinds of other stuff), a Zenki hood (you've all seen mine, and how beat it is), a Zenki bumper in perfect condition, and a KA AC compressor... damn good deal you all say right? well it's from a buddy of mine, and he's hooking me up cause he needs a cat back for his swap project but is out of $$$ and is about to get laid off.... so awesome sauce...
also as a teaser, i might be having some staggered Rays Engineering G Game 77Fs on the way, 18x8 +20 up front and 18x9+20 in the rear with BFG tires all around... they are 2pc and forged as well.... look like these...
just imagine them on a Gold S14....
that's all for now guys.... stay tuned....

another update, KA>SR tranny conversion is now complete, and i have REVERSE now woot woot... now i can back that thang up when i spin out into the infield drifting, cause i spin out A LOT.... i'll let the pics and captions do the rest of the talking....
the beginning, bust SR trans with no reverse....
got the shift fork, bearing, and "back plate" (i dunno what that plate is called), and removed the C clips, which was a pain in the ***...
SR bell housing is off and old gear box sitting to the side, bell housing ready for the ready for the KA gear box...
B&M baller status.....
KA tranny from the black car, ready for transplant...
FINISHED!!!! had a few problems with some rods on the inside and getting them to line up, so i just stood the tranny up on it's bellhousing on some bricks, and twisted the gear box around and it dropped right in place... wasn't too bad...
got the "back plate" and bearing and shift for in.... used bearing though, will be replacing with a new OEM unit... also swapped the little slave cylinder thing off the KA bell housing and swapped it on the SR as it was in near perfect shape and the SR unit was kinda shot...
AND i now have a full lower harness for my tranny, and all sensors, so AWESOMESAUCE... it's the little things guys, the little things...
call me pig pen, with my messy work area....
this one speaks for itself.... no more double parking, pull through parking spots, or parking way out in the back of a parking lost cause i can't back up with out flintstoning it...
well that's it for now guys, just waiting on the clutch, fidanza friction plate, and the the motor, and i'm almost ready for the install....
stay tuned...

just the frame damage, well not really frame, but under body damage like the core support was a little more screwed that i thought it was, but other than that, nothing major really... everything's coming along fairly smoothly now that I'm replacing damn near EVERY thing on this car...
