Frank, you said you turbod your car too increase its resale value, if anything, I'd think you decreased it. I dunno if you are just unmature or what but having a well put together reliable car sure beats the hell out of a 170whp oil leakin', clutch slippin', boost spikin' flex pipin' open downpipein' fucked up car. There's doing ---- ghetto, and then there's doing ---- that's just dumb. Anyway good luck with your clutch and car, does you wife even ride in that thing with you?

ya know, i could sit here and say i've built 20 motors, done 50 turbo installs, welded in a few roll cages, and so on, and people would more than likely believe it, but i haven't so, i don't act like i have, you're really not fooling anyone but yourself

i dont have a hoist so pulling the motor do do a clutch would be a bitch with having to jack the car up a ------- mile. I dont have a trans jack either, i just lift that ---- up or get under the car and lift it that way (seemed to work better and not result in bruises on my arms from reaching over the fender)

You dropped the engine to do a clutch job 
. That's kinda xtra work to me. It seems that u have a lot of time on ur hands. Next time just drop the tranny out instead of doing all that work. And invest in a tranny jack adaptor. I agree lining it up could be a bitch, but drop the engine to do a clutch job i rather ask for help instead of doing that.

my help did show, notice how clean his hands are in the picture above.
so now i see this is a "well this is how I do it thread" which is cool, this is what worked for me. and it worked well at that. I have access to a lift, tranny jack, floor jacks, air tools, chreey pickers, a-frames, all the tools you can think of.
this is what was easiest for me. sorry it was a pain for the rest of you to look at it. time on my hands, after i would have done everything else, been pissed off, i think it was just as good.
