Damn Looking Nice! You should do a write up! That would help all of ECelica Even more!!!

Cngrads and best wishes finishing the job

i would if i was doing the swap. i was just there to take those few pix, a friend of mine is doing it for me.

You got a RPS clutch if I'm not mistaken. I would like to here your thoughts on the clutch after the break in. I plan on going the clutch and flywheel route real soon, it can't wait much longer.

Congrats on the install and the clutch. Treat it well and make it last. Don't drive like some crazed 16 year old smoking the clutch to race everything from a Hyundai to a Ferrari from a stop light.

Do you need to pull the transmission or can you jsut leave it in place and dont the work while under the car???

How long is it takin you? Im goin go need to upgrade my clutch here soon too

hahahaha no i wont go hard on my clutch till after i break it in, 1k miles. even do i mite wanna go to the drag strip. but ill hold my self back, ill give you my thoughts tomorow after noon.

GT2111 yes you need to pull the tranni out.
today was the 2nd day, and we only worked on it for 2 hours. not that bad

God i love asking questions today...

Is it heavy to pull the tranny? is it hard?

Where do you find motor mounts?? Can I find some for a GT??!

ask ur friend to write a install guide

From 1-10 (10 being hardest) how complicated/hard is it to do this

1 because his friend is doing it

Clos, is your friend using a crane to support the engine?

im not sure how heavy it is, is it hard nope the bolts were pretty easy to break, and all we need to do is just drop it out the car.
you can find motor mounts at.

and look for the matric motor mounts, if you can find them, just call them they have great service.
yes they fit GT, GTS.

nope, right now the only thing holding the engine is the 2 side motor mounts, i think he is going to hold the engine up with a jack stand or a jack. ether way he is going to finish today. the bad thing is im at school and he should be working on it now =*( so i wont see the rest of the install.
ill have vids comparing the fidanza flywheel and stock flywheel. will see how much faster it revs

Why did you drop the drive shafts?

lucky you got such a mechanically inclined homie man! hes coo for hooking you up!

yeah, and i did the same for him by painting his kit. it all works out dont it
well here is my damage

^^^ the flywheel was burned to hell

clutch was worn out to death

here is the back side of the clutch

here is the presure plate

ill have vids maybe tomorow of the engine reving with the Fidanza flywheel. over all the car feels better, and stiff do to the motor mounts. the shifting is a lot better, the clutch fells the same as stock, over all i recomend this combo to everyone
