What valve springs did you go with? I don't think I've looked at 6g75 springs before so I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking at in the picture lol.

This isn't the greatest picture, but it shows enough of the stock 6g75 valve springs. Enough to see they're not what's in the built heads.

Oh wow. If my eyes serve me right those are oem Mitsubishi springs......from another performance line.

Your eyes may be playing tricks on you. They're not OEM.

Studded 6g75 for your viewing pleasure.


Heads are now installed as well.

They look like my RPW's.

They are DOHC 6G72TT VR4 LS1 Mivec cams.

They're RPW springs. Hoping they'll be seeing a little action next week.

So I've been spending less time in the garage than I had planned for, but still have some updates.

The wiring harness has been put back together and the dash is installed.


And the one step that has me feeling like I'm making some progress. Engine and trans are now back in the car.

Prep those damn frame rails already and buy a spool of .03 wire for mild steel that requires shielding gas. I'm sure it'll cost you all of $8...

All the same. Hopefully I'll have your intake manifold at work tomorrow. Perhaps a runable engine will facilitate some more motive yet.

Also you should work that wire brush magic you have on the tears in that Y pipe and prep it for that bung. I can take care of all the welding in one go...

I expect a text when this thing is running.

We need that race.

I tend to stay on the other side of the camera and dont think I've taken a selfie since the myspace days back in '06-ish. I don't really expect that to change anytime soon either, sorry to disappoint.

However, I do have this picture to share. The only thing between where it's at and firing it up is wiring and installing the radiator. The only setback is deciding how and where I want to route the wire harness.
