Old ass Megan Racing 3" exhaust that was way too low... got a new one now

Old manifold

Big issue clearing the ABS master brake cylinder... I had to locate a non abs 5 spd brake booster... im redoing the brake setup as we speak...

Test fitting the bumper:

Yeah, I finally have all of them together and will have pics of the installation, so far here is the pic of the products:

Transmission was finally removed and I finally got everything off...

I got to the top bolts by hand without any swivel sockets :lol:

Trans was really nasty, rear main seal is garbage:

My old clutch:

Finally installed my clutch and removed the nasty dampner loop. I cut off the old fitting, shortened the clutch line, bent it, and added a new fitting along with a stainless steel slave line. I spent a good half hour bleeding the hell out of the clutch and I finally got the car running.

The clutch feels good and the pedal feel is CRAZY!!! The clutch grabs right off the floor and the pedal is very responsive.

PROPS to Eatgoodfood for helping during the clutch and flywheel install!

I never understood why anyone would want an sr over a built ka. Must be the jdm thing to do :bateman:

yeah fan boys will be fan boys. Im not saying the SR isnt a good motor, but lets look at them side by side:

KA: 2.4 L Iron block with aluminium head and bucket style lifters.

SR: 2.0 L Aluminium block and head and rocker arms.

Sure the KA doesnt rev as high stock but it has greater displacement and the iron block can withstand more power. Not to mention the notorious problem of SR rocker arms falling apart. The KA is heavy duty, reliable and can take abuse. And best of all the parts are available at any parts store, good luck with that when you have an SR or RB swap.

I assume you like to get sideways every now and then. I'm not a fan of drifting either but I love myself a good power slide. My buddy had a 95 240 auto. It wasnt fast but it was fun to take left turns in :smile:
