I'm going to get it running on LH 2.2 first as I have most of the components around. Then I'll go to MS and I want to get the 16V together. I also might put the original front end on it until I can get the fenders and hood painted.

Still lots of little things like the turbo oil feed, waste gate for the 15G (now I have a 16T from the T5), etc.
 
Gayest project thread ever. Seriously taking the pictures is one thing, posting them is another. Are you a virgin?
 
Excuses first: Finally graduating in May. Just want to reiterate that this car is 70 miles away from me at school in a garage that has no tools and no heat. So come May, either I'll have time and money (and a job) or plenty of time (and no job). Either way, the car should be completed quickly.

Had to pull the engine to get the 1/4" NPT plug out that is below the water pump. Cost me a lot of time, 2 EZ outz, and a broken impact bit. Using a parker fitting to plug the stock oil feed location.

Just bought a huge snap ring pliers from McMaster to clock the 16T Mitsu that will be going on this engine. I wish Harbor Freight still carried the pliers the Mikes own.

Engine and trans are back in the car. Going to pull another LH2.2T ICU (EZK) harness as the one I had was pretty mangled. Car will run on LH2.2 with EZK just so I can drive the damn thing again. Then I will switch it to MS. I want to make a nice MS harness and I was just rushing it so I decided to go this route instead.

Cosmetically, I'm not installing the ecodes. I am going to go back to the quad squares (which will be blacked out sooner or later) with a flat hood. The ecodes will go on my DD. It's a whole new ball game now that I own (2) 240s, one that I DD.

This thing should run before spring, but will not leave the garage before then. Coilovers, sways, poly, R brakes up front, camber plates, 16T, NPR, LH2.2, iPd cam, 3" open downpipe, M46.

Still have some work to do, but all I really want to do is drive this car again.
 
Progress! Just needs little things before I get to find out if its gonna start or not. Little nervous with how long it has been sitting and all the LH2.2T wiring I put on it.
