Well, I got my adapter for the 54mm (2 1/8") socket that fits the flywheel, borrowed an impact and busted the SOB off...it actually only took about 10minutes total, but I've been pouring on some liquid wrench and diesel for about a week to hopefully help it free up...two swift bumps(bump is an understatment) with a block of wood and it came off.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Next, I inspected it, and honestly...the flywheel looks to be in great shape. I cleaned it and checked for warps, hot spots, etc...nothing...looked very good. I got all the rust off and went ahead an installed it. Then I dug up( https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR ) a nice CF DF clutch...threw that on, tightened everything down, and slid the block back into the corner of the garage until Sunday when I will be installing the oil pan, motor mounts, etc and HOPEFULLY dropping the lil bitch into the car :twisted:



Not much else left to do, and I have everything else I need so I shouldn't have to wait and put the project off too much more...I still need oil cooler lines, I had to cancel an order due to lack of funds(damn student loan payments)....

dear god, it looks like its been sitting in the ocean for 3 years!

Continued pics....you should see my garage, I've been doing so many lil projects for people at my house, I've got performance import **** layin all around...too bad only a few things left are mine :(

yea, it was pretty horribly rusted...but under all that rust was a nice clean, unfucked up flywheel, lol...



Last pic for now...hey, anybody know where I can a new sensor and that other lil brass thingy that goes under the oil filter? lol, pardon my lame terms, but I dunno what they are called https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

i hope that CF DF holds out........

Yea, me too! Thanks for tip w/ the block of wood, lol..



If the CF DF does go out, I'm going puck all the way and I'll probably swap the flywheel out at that time too, but right now, it's almost been exactly a year since the car was legally on the road, and I just want to drive it again...as long as the clutch holds for 1K miles...I'll be happy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

that little brass thing is the water temp sensor . the block trick works great https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

That's an odd place to put the water temp sensor...I figured since it was near the oil filter, it'd have to do w/ oil...so what is the other little sensor right below the fitler for? oil temp?

there are two sensors there one is oil pressure its a big brass sensor that screws in. the other is a little water temp sensor. neither are there in your picture.........
