After a long winter slumber, I have some updates to report......
Surprise surprise, I mounted another set of Fikse wheels
Technipolish Profil5, which are my true love that I knew I'd always come back to. Sizing in the front is the norm at 18x9.5 +38 while I did a little something different with the rears--- 18x10.5 +38 rear, then asked Fikse to shave a small amount of the backpad to yield an effective +44.
The idea was to allow a 295/30 rear tire out back with simply rolled fenders. Of course my power goals are a bit more sedate now, so I opted to pick up some RE-11 rubber in 255/35 front and 275/35 rear.
Future plan are leaning towards mounting a genuine '99 spec rear wing and possibly an RE street diffuser as well. I just can't get used to the wingless look, especially now that I mounted the five spoke Fikses. I know there will be a lot of people annoyed. Sorry
Also finally built the brand new engine I had picked up from Malloy some time ago. It was streetported (IRP Stage 3 of course) and ready to go for awhile now.
For internals, I went back and forth on a few things, but in the end settled on RXParts apex seals, Pineapple Racing heavy duty coolant seals and a Turblown tension stud kit. All else new OEM stock, including standard corner seals.
For this build I'm going back to a standard OEM mazda oil pan with pan brace and stud kit.
Also have an A-Spec single turbo kit arriving little by little...... it's funny, but in the end it's basically the same kit that I had on my VR FD at the end there. Go figure.
Precision PT6466 ball bearing unit, dual dumped Tial MV-S gates (this is a change, no more precision WGs), 3.5 inch downpipe, manifold and turbine housing covered in Inconel heatshielding. One other change is the provision for dual EGTs in the manifold runners.
Pics to come soon
