Found a garage complex uptown. 2 Bay, maybe 20ft wide, 30 deep? No power but there is electric across the lot, and theres lights outside the doors so i might be able to splice in an outlet or two and run some 220 in that bitch.

What ya think? Enough to swap engines over and have room for a parts pile?

Ehh... More like a RHD Full V3/V4 STI conversion haha. Im gonna jack the electric off the lights in front and run some outlets on the side walls, maybe throw some sound-mat in there and run a compressor. Its all stone so it purdy quiet in there as is.

My car started this morning and only ran on 2 cylinders for about 5 mins. I think the coilpack went bad like the last motor, then i got to school, took out all my gauges and cleaned the interior up a bit, and i checked the plugs and stuff. OEM coil, OEM wires, OEM plugs (which it was running excellent, not rich nor lean). Im gonna go to the dealer when i get money and get some things, but my plug tube seals are leaking, valve cover gaskets, head gaskets and a few valve cover bolt seals too. I hope itll make it till i can get the car apart, i have faith in my little boxer so it should be cool for a while ;)

I remembered i bought V3 Headlights and Grill so im going to use those to complete the look. I might even trade my trunk for another white coupe trunk, or even a 4 door with the lower spoiler. I also remembered i have my megasquirt i gotta sell haha, that and the ej255 and tons of parts are still availible. I might keep my turbo ej20 manifold and modify that to fit the HX35 in the car.
