well i woke up early this morning so me and my uncle (Pnad) could drop the engine and tranny in my car today..so we finish up the engine stuff that needed to be done..we put on the Flywheel, clutch,Pressure Plate. we struggle to the tranny on the engine...about 15 min. later it goes on..then we realize...the plate that goes inbetween the tranny and engine is from a Fwd DSM and wont work.:chair: :chair: ..so tommarow we got to take it all apart and restart.:chair: :chair: i9 was hoping to have it all in today and then start electrical stuff during the week. ah well goes with the territory of building a car i guess. rant over

It's not twisted, the whole damn thing is shifted forward .5 inch. Never understood why the FWD mounts were different than AWD mounts. Mitsu's are the ghey.

If you sell this car before 2009 I will be charging you for all the free parts I gave you! :p

Hey, I know how frustrating setbacks can be...went through several of them when redoing a 93 fox convertible....it is things like that that makes you enjoy the car even more, and all the hard work even more rewarding.
