The car ran great, but I wanted torque! You can see some pics from that night <a href=\"http:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/2012\/02\/16\/fd-heart-transplant-part-1\/\">here<\/a>. I planned to be done by that summer and here we are&#8230; 2 and a half years later. Drivetrain is in, just gotta go the wiring and plumbing and it&#8217;s still not running. Things kept coming up. Car shows, family stuff and just plain laziness. Driving my friend&#8217;s LS2 swapped FD this past weekend gave me a little motivation to get this thing finished. Anyway, I&#8217;ve been feeling nostalgic so here are some pictures of the car before the motor was pulled out.<\/p>\n<p><a
