he is the jdm motor. check the pose yo

oh, bah. lol. So whats going in the car?

wow mark work in hamilton that's not done at daves for once?

nothing going in the car that's my parts car she's almost completly raped i got the carpet out earier today and all i got left that i wanna keep is the windshield, drivers door and rear quarters...what ever odds and ends are still up for sale but if they don't sell by the time i'm done getting all the part i need then it's getting tossed.

oh so what that the B16 your pulling out there? hard to tell from the pics

How long did it take you to get the engine out?? I might end up doing a swap myself .. RS to RS, same OBDI and all .. but I want to know how long it would take me and a friend to do .. if it can be done in one weekend we'll do it ourselves .. cause I'd much rather do it myself then pay a ridiculous price for a shop to do it :jeez:

fuzzy:
that's the LS that came in the car. it's not the stock one it's only got a 150,000km

simon:
it yook longer than it should've. i was having trouble actually getting it out i kept getting snagged on the mount point to the car so i hacked it off and i did alot of slacking off too. i think it's easier if you seperate the motor from the tranny first..mine was still attached Dave YO said it has to go on a crazy tilt to slide em both out

the first pic is my nextdoor neighbour and I hacking apart the mount and in the 3rd pic you get an idea of how mangled we got it

Thanks Mark! :yeah: I've been told it should take about 2 hours to get the engine out .. I'll be doing the swap this Sat with a buddy of mine but for the rest of this week I'll be disconnecting everything and preparing so Sat will hopefully go smoothly .. *knock on wood* lol :yeah:
