more pics, now will start my cleaning process with some good old kerosine, then sand blast, then the rebuild .
but to explain my findings , well one of my apex from the rear rotor got in the housing.
now that the car is down will be upgrading my suspension with Eibach springs and tokico D-specs, new set of wheels.
on the engine:mild street port and polish,down pipe + headers,cat back, motor mounts, and a MM tune

Sounds awesome man. Hope you can get it back together soon! Can't wait for updates!! Looking forward to the power. I'm doing everything I can to keep mine running for a while. I hope I never have to rebuild it, but I know its inevitable .

Got to ask?, but was that motor pre mixed or just no premix in the gasoline?. The pic's are great, looks a little narley. After seeing them i bet a friend that the motor never used oil in the fuel in the tank.?.
