Rebuild update, and rants
Well, I might as well go through everything while I'm at it. Anyway, here's some various pictures of my rebuild as I've been getting to it.
Rotors prior to cleaning/etc

My not so extreme exhaust port

Woohoo for junk everywhere!

Here it is all assembled, sitting on the flywheel waiting for me to get around to putting the front cover & such on.


What it looked like a month ago:

And the entire car:

Now, on to rants. I must say I'm not happy with Atkins in the least, first they forgot to send me corner seal springs, which delayed me 5 days. Then I found out i needed another corner apex seal peice (2 peice 2mm seals), and for some reason, their priority mail took 6 days to get here, so there went another 9 days (weekend) of delay. Not to mention the damn oil seals are almost impossible to get in without breaking or damaging. Overall, I was unimpressed. </rant>

I've got a starion I'm sticking up front, but i've also got a tII hood for it, it's just on my other car at the moment because it needed to be painted.
Yea those oil seals are a little hard to get in
... So how does it run?
