Updating a bit, I haven't really been able to get as much done as would I like to but its slowly moving along.
A couple of weeks ago is when I actually got started, I lowered the engine and rolled it out from under the car. Made things a lil easier but not by much, I could've swapped transmissions with the motor in the car but its always such a pain in the ass that I always say next time Im gonna pull the engine so I did.

I didn't realize the exhaust a hangers were attached to the subframe so Im gonna have come up with something different.

I started to fit the Evo rack on the new sub frame and found a few issues.

One was one of the mounting holes for the rack is offset by 1/4". The other is fine so Ill just use a smaller diameter bolt for the offset hole and I should be fine.

Another problem was fitting the clamp for the sway bar. Cause of the design of the subframe it doesn't allow for a two bolt hole clamp which would just sandwich the bar and bushing to the subframe. This one only allows for a single loop that they had cut and welded together in order to get the correct shape.

Since its been welded together spreading it to fit over the end of the sway bar seems impossible. Im worried Im gonna break the weld so im gonna grind the ends of the sway bar and then it should fit over the end. Also the bushing doesn't exactly fit in there with a bit of persuasion so I hope that doesn't present a problem while trying to slide the clamp over the sway bars bends.

On another note I decided go to the last track event in June even though I don't have a car, I figure I would go and spectate since it was only like 60 miles from me. I brought my kids with me but It turned out to be so frickin hot that we didn't stay very long but I did catch some flicks of some of my favorite cars.
