But I suppose you could do some localized cleaning in some of the "hard to reach" spots before the you install the engine.

I don't know if it will fit. I know someone with a 07' 3rd gen that had to bring the car in to replace the tranny after 3K miles
Hopefully the MT tranny doesn't have that problem?

Hey Mario, I took a look at the cart... turns out.. I can return it after doing the conversion. LOL
Check it out.. NO SCRATCHES!!!! good shit for only $69. And the straps look good as well. There goes $89 back into my pocket! hahahaha
I'll be returning the hoist too... so make that $243 all together.

There aren't too many used engines that include photos of it being removed!

Good job, thus far. I spent a good amount of time reading through this thread. I must admit, I'm very impressed. Good luck with the remainder of the project. If I were down that way, I'd help if I could. I bet it really, really sucks not having transportation... Especially knowing that it's your own fault for not having said transportation.

Hey Kris...when you received your motor, did the water pump, ac compressor, alternator, etc come with the engine also or did you have to remove those from the old engine onto the new? I posted up my engine on ebay and there people willing to pay a good amount of money for it. (at least $975) the thing is, I'm not sure if the newer motor comes with them or not. If it doesn't, I'll just transfer everything from the old to the new

the motor wont come with the accessory drives like the AC comp, PS Pump and the alt. The H2O pump it will come with.

Also remember NOT to install the motor till you swap the crank sensor (lower crank cam pulley) and the TDC sensors cam pulley and back plate). It will be ALOT easier to do out of the car. Now would also be a great time to install a new belt (whether or not it needs it or not)

Well... ordered my mounts along with a few other sensors + covers for the conversion..
Starting to worry about the coilovers I bought from Nitrous over a week ago... I figured they'd be here in the mail already since it's been shipped within the state. Left a message on his phone asking for the tracking number... we'll see what happens

Picking up my Teins tonight..
Alright, I got my engine.. I must say... driving around in a uhaul was definitely a nice experience. I mean, hey... it found it funny to be honking at the ladies and revving my engine. I raced a Porsche... and killed it! .. seriously. Yeah.. that's right... me and my friend were in the uhaul, waiting at a light, saw this lowered boxster pull up next to me.. i revved my engine, told him I wanted to race... So he agreed.. laughing at the same time. So, right before the light turned green, I was like: (points at a pedestrian) "hey look!!! That girl's boobs popped out!" He turns, light turns green.. and instantly pulled 3 car lengths ahead of him. It was beautiful
Soon after catching up, he gave me the finger and drove off... what a sore loser 
lol
Hey Kris, can I reuse the same bolts that hold the 4MT to the engine for the 6MT? If so, I want to save myself a lot by reusing some bolts I may already have.

Damn Joe, you didn't even tell me you were picking it up. I could've helped you out there. Let me know what you are doing tomorrow, I got some new rotors/pads I need to install lol. BTW, when are you planning on mounting the new engine? waiting on more parts?

^Typical porsche driver. You'd think they could just laugh about things like that, but no they have to uber serious and flick ya' off everytime. Either that or they drive in the left lane on the turnpike doing 60. 
Hey Joe, good luck with everything!
I would love to eventually see your car in person some time if I ever go head down that way or if ya ever happen to find yourself at a meet up here sometime.

Sure it may be fun and challenging... But I'm just scared i'll get stuck somewhere... To make it worse, i've been doing everything without the helms manual so far. Can't afford to buy it... so anything down the road from here's a guessing game.
