I forgot that I made this. Time for a massive update.

I have been working a lot on the car. Nick and I pulled the motor back in December around Christmas time. Everything on the motor and in the bay was a total mess:

Borat pose, haha

Engine bay is a mess...

I discovered that the previous owner had installed a SPEC Stage II clutch- he told me he replaced it, but couldn’t remember what it was. It looks to be in really good shape, so it is good to know that I won’t need to replace it.

So with the motor out, I started tearing it down. We got it pretty well torn down and transported it to Tim’s barn out in Grand Rapids- since he has the knowledge and tools to help me take the motor apart correctly. Right now the motor is stripped down to the block and head- everything from the upper oil pan down has been removed. On Sunday, we will finish removing the front cover and pull the head. Once that has been checked out and decked if needed, we will work on the reassembly.

I wanted to have a place to talk about my 240, and saw that a few other zilvians were using this as well, so I thought I would post something up! I’ll use this blog to track my progress on the car through the winter and into spring 2010.

Just for a little back story- I picked up the car back in November of 2008 with an SR swap, and everything else was pretty much a mess. This is what it looked like:

And this is what it looks like now:

I like to think it has come a long way. I took the insurance off of it last week and will have it into the barn for storage very soon. I found a set of Defi Link Meter gauges in black face and jumped on them- sold my white face ones.

Ganador mirrors came last night, pics soon.
