I put the 5 speed pilot bushing into the crank, so far so good, put on those factory 3g "spacers" for the flywheel and bolt up my brand new 3g fidanza flywheel. Fidanza sent it to me with their own hardware and advised to use their hardware as the stock 3g 5 speed bolts wont work. So I compared and they are right, the stock bolts are too short as the fidanza is thicker than the stock flywheel. So I use the fidanza bolts, im slowly torquing them in a criss cross pattern, as I go to torque one of the bolts, the motor spins over, WTF? Yeah thats right, the bolt is bottomed out in the crank, yay fidanza for sending me bolts that are too long. So now its 8pm and I dont have the right bolts and the car is in the dirveway. So I put the crossmember back in the car and used a 4x4 from the crossmember to the pan to support the motor and pushed her back into the garage. Whats ghay is I had every intention of driving it on sunday, now im gonna order the bolts from mitsu today and I wont get them til monday, so yet again.....I wait.....
