TRE comes thru with the goods:

^^the TRE trans and rear diff arrived in a very strong box, carefully protected by thick dense styrofoam blocks. Exceptionally well packaged and zero damage.

^^removed from the box

^^TRE installs a custom glass sight so you can see the diff oil level and if it needs changing. A great addition to the stock cover, well done TRE




^^dont forget to add fluid before running!



^^stock mustache bar and diff mounts with energy suspension bushings installed. Ill probably pick up a set of aluminum mounts with bushings to save weight at some point, right now i really dont care too much other stuff to focus on.



^^diff installed in the car with energy suspension bushings



^^headgames cyl head arrived!! Kiggly beehive valve springs installed with Ferrea stock size valves and going to receive Kelford 272 cams


^^here it is all assembled (forgot to take photos during the assembly)


^^closeup of the AMS intake manifold + milSPec Throttle body. Im a huge fan of this design, well done AMS. i could run any intake manifold on the market or I could make my own.. I feel this is a great intake manifold design so i will save myself the time and focus on the turbo side of the motor


^^using a fluidampr crank pulley / harmonic balancer.



^^ ready to re-unite with the transmission... but first must convert the clutch lever arm to a PUSH from a PULL, and then switch the slave cylinder around..

NEXT UP-> Pull-to-PUSH CLUTCH CONVERSION!

Ah ya, there we are.

Hey Geoff, didn't realize you relocated to California and re-did your Evo build step for step.

Oh wait, you're not Geoff from Full Race and this isn't your Evo, nor is it your build. Or your pics. Or even your words. You copied Geoff/Full Races build thread word for word; pic for pic.

The S14 w/ RB he referenced is actually already done, and has been for a while. If you want to see it, pick up the August 2010 issue of Modified Magazine, and you'll see an article on that car that features photos by me and another photographer named Charles Siritho. It's an incredible car, and it's got a helluva lot more than just an RB26 swap.
