Anyway, yes, it likely wasn't necessary to freeze them, one side basically slid half way in before I started tapping, but I suppose it reduces the force required to tap them in and lowers the risk of damaging them.

It was her time Wedge. And besides, better to have me part it out and help fellow members rather than let that shell get rattle canned another dozen times and sit in a field.
There seems to be shells popping up all over around here- not sure where the hell they’re coming from. If you’re serious about taking on another resto, dm me and I’ll point you in the right direction.

The pollen finally subsided, so I did the semiannual wash and wax. Was also finally frustrated enough to take the pulleys off to try and stop the squealing.
I'm gonna use some low grit sandpaper to see if that cures it. If not, I may have to break down next year and do e-fans. I've been reading up on those and it doesn't seem very hard, except maybe finding old MR2 or Taurus fans.

when you mix IPA that was cooled in the freezer with ICE, the transition of ICE to water causes the interstitial bonds to break. Energy has to come from somewhere, and that causes the whole mixture to cool even more.
Try it, and stick your hand in the mixture to prove me wrong. I hope you get frost bite.

they used salt and ice trick to chill sugar and cream to make ICE CREAM in the olden days before electricity was conveniently available everywhere.

Almost back together for some summer fun:
Finally found some Federals after they were all back ordered last year!
Replaced the ring gear and installed a new 10025 Exedy clutch
Making room for some much-improved oil cooling......

I managed to get a set from a supplier here in Alberta, North Country Tire. They had one set available so I had to jump on it a month ago and wait patiently for the set to arrive.

I got my engine back from the builder on Friday the 13th. My kid had football and soccer games all weekend, but I managed to get everything back together and today I had it all ready to put back in the car. Except it's 8pm and Im old and tired. Here's to Wednesday!!!!
The build:
*12A Irons with a large street port.
*GSL-SE housings and rotating assembly / front cover.
= "early-style" 4-port 13B
*all new bearings.
*oil passages "ported" for better flow and FD pressure reg.
*S4 aluminum WP housing and alum. 12A WP.
*RB IDA intake, "re-shaped" and port-matched to irons.
*new oil pan w/ baffle plate and stud brace.
*original NA trans was rebuilt with Miata gear set.
*RB light weight steel flywheel and Exedy stage 1 clutch
(good for 240 hp... more than I expect from this build)
I hope to put it in the car tomorrow night (fingers crossed). I drove it up until the day I pulled the original 12A and tranny (last September?) and I'm dying to get it on the road again.

Yeah, those gold Enkei's are my "main" wheels with Summer tires (Toyo Proxes R1R).
I also have another set of wheels with all-seasons for the Fall and early Winter. Hopefully Ill get to use them later this year. The car's spent most of the last 3 years on jack stands undergoing work in my spare time. Im hoping to be driving it this weekend, and in a couple weeks I'll install the new rack & pinion kit I bought from a fellow forum member.
