Almost there I got started late yesterday so she's not out yet. Question did you guys unhook the wiring harness from the ecu and feed it through? I'm removing the motor/trans through the top as a whole(I know Im gunna scratch shit no worries) I Dont need to loosen the starter since I'm taking them out as a whole correct? Btw 6mm driveshaft bolts suck ![smile.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Yes, i pull the harness from the ecu and leave the engine side intact. Its easier that way. The only time i pulled the engine and trans as a whole though the top is after making a removable crossbeam. The car will have to be skyhigh and the engine/trans damn near vertical to come out that way. Let us know how it goes bro.

Well boys and girls after a long ass day and night she's out. Half way through the day I went against my original thought (better judgement) and just separated trans in the car and dropped that and then yanked the motor out. Didn't drop the subframe cause I have to tow the car to a different location today so I felt it to be. A pita to drop the subframe only to separate it on the ground and then rebolt it. Deffinately happy I changed my mind cause stuff would deffinately got f***** up regardless that I was using a forklift. I'll try to get up some pics my buddy took later. Working on 1.5hrs of sleep so I'm completely dead at work but it will all be worth it hopefully ![tongue.gif](https://www.s2ki.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
