12-point? I feel like there are some ARP Honda bolts that require that, or the reverse of that (a 12-point male socket).

 

Nope not a twelve point, its a wierd one. Round head with little crescent moons taken out of its edge.

 

So not a Torx bit either?

 

**** that thing is still on there?

This is my current favorite tool. guaranteed to ameliorate your issue.

 

GTX is sold to a new happy and betting very good owner.

I will be reorganizing garage again... taking it over... and beginning real work SOON.

 

Good luck man.

let me know if you need any of the small bits. I have a lot of stuff left over from my attempted vq swap (discoverd spun bearing and gave up) .

 

Ew. I have a good crank coming out of my spare block... (at least i think its good).

 

Some progress of some sorts...

 

 

Dang, that room really turned out nice! The table is just ridiculous, of course :P

 

So is this considered swap complete?

 

Still needs clear rubber coasters on top of pistons and engine mount braces to fully stabilize the block.

Going to a new job soon, have jeep to tinker on... etc... I WILL get to the Miotta. It is just a matter of when.

 

I would so have that ******* table in my living room. **** YEAH!!

 

Hurm, I've periodically given thought to getting a v8roadsters mountless subframe... but hesitated due to cost. I just noticed that I can avoid going through FM and paying 900. Going right to v8roadsters gets it for 750. I'm half tempted to go that route now.

Argh.

 

If that gets the motor in the car sooner, I vote YES.

 

Your vote doesn't count unless you are logged into Aim while trolling

 

Its money well spent, even for a penny pincher

ya that subframe is legit, get the full control arm set too and loose some weight :-) the new generation front lower control arm is ridiculously strong.

im hopin to do this swap next yr after my v8 rx7 is finished.

 

Any updates?
