Long story short... I went to Stickydiljoe's Year 9 Meet in SoCal in October and I spun a bearing on the way home. When I originally bought the caR the previous owner spun a bearing due to low oil. I had the crank checked, turned and took a chance. It only lasted 2 years (12k miles) but I beat on the motor everyday. I spun it at 8k in 5th gear (use your imagination lol) on the way back from SoCal. *shrug*

I ended up picking up a low mileage 98 spec R motor from my friend who got rear ended. He bought the long block from Rcrew a few months prior and only ran it for 2-3 months. Never even reached his first oil change.

Got the new swap in just in time for the plusONEcrew X ATS Garage 12th Annual Toy Drive.

I freshened the new swap up with the following:
JDM ITR 96 Spec Transmission (freshly rebuilt by Rcrew, new OEM 1-2, 3-4, 5-R synchros and an ATS 3rd)
ARP Cylinder Head Studs
Spoon Sports Head Gasket
Spoon Sports Gen 1 Cam Gears
Spoon Sports Baffled Oil Pan

That's too bad about both cars' engines.

Nice list of spoon parts. Only thing you're missing are spoon driveshafts.
