Theyre remaking them but not in any bolt pattern that does me any good lol.

Just a quick update:

I got the sway bar all sorted out. Just needed to have a tap run through it to clear out the powder coat in the threads. Good as new!

Also got the wheels ready for paint!

Got a few more things done as well. According to the extended forecast spring is onlye like 2 weeks away as well, yay!

Wheels got all finished up, just waiting for the paint to cure so I can give them their final polishing





And I got the last parts for my exhaust.

Picked up a couple more things this weekend...



Traded a plexi-glass roof and some cash on the side for the authentic glass roof and a mint rear Mazda Badge to replace my broken one. Yay for Factory Option Parts!

You know what they say.......

Once you go boost........

You never go back

And thank you. I have been working on my car for about 8 years. It just takes time (and money) to get it where you want.

Sweet car man! When and where in bloomington do you meet? I have yet to meet anyone with an FB in the TC. You should come out and autocross although with the 13B in there you would be in a modified class. And are you the white FB parked in the driveway on 55 near rainbow foods?

Already got my short throw in, as well as the glass roof!





I also have a new fuel pump, a holley red, on its way here as well.

Congrats on the progress so far Funk! As you know I'm chest deep in my own little mods (which I will also eventually post up here in the build section when I get enough pics and such). I've had the rotary itch lately and cannot wait to get her out and running.

So dumb question, where's everybody gonna auto-x this summer??? I've been watching videos the last couple of days after I read this thread that listed HERE. So I'd like to meet up with some of you guys and have a little FB auto-x day, keep me in the loop!

Looking good! I agree about the carter fuel pump, that thing is WAY too loud.
