Well i wont know how they feel until i pick up a motor. Install wise... They were a major PITA to get in the car. They seem solid though

What color you going on the VC?
My buddy painted it yesterday. Ill show it off later- its at home in safe storage with my jdm front end. Its a gloss black with blue flake to go with the cars color on top of a wrinkle texture. Its pretty sick looking.
Update. Put the dash back together and started cleaning and painting some of the motors accessories. Also have a TON of parts now laying around waiting for a motor. Pics:
Manifold, tensioner, bypass valve, and some other bits all clean and primered black. Everything but the manifold will be painted a top coat of black. The manifold will be painted aluminum to match the motor.

whens the motor coming?
Probably next month. I will be out of town for 3 weeks starting next week so it will be after then. I am still waiting for the blower so there is no rush.

Drool
Thanks- got a TON done today but no pics. Separated motor from trans- removed the clutch/ flywheel and got the motor on the stand. Installed a new Z3 upper chain guide, HPT lower chain guard, and a tractuff oil pan baffle. Tore into the trans and installed new Mtec race shift selector springs
Then the messy part began. Primered the motor and trans along with all the accessories for the motor and trans. Gonna let it sit for the weekend then I'll add the final coat next week. Pics to follow
