so i found a ground that wasn't properly grounded and i think my hesitation is gone. Im just over 700 miles now on my rebuild and ive already start taking it up to redline!
I fell in love all over again today! click the link below for a short sound clip.


my tires are getting mounted and balanced now so i should have some pics up tomorrow. i think im gonna need some 20mm overs for the front. i think they look alright and if the get messed up, oh well.

so the ARP extended bolts...are you planning on using spacers???..where did you get them? and what size did you go with? I am planning on buying them as soon as I get my other 5 lug I ordered and just would like to get an Idea of some stuff...I know they run around $35 each 5 if I'm not mistaken...

 

im using 8mm spacers all around, i ordered my studs from jegs they are .509 knurl. they come in 2.5in and 3.25in. I have the 3.25 and they are 33 per 5 pack. I think i should have got the 2.5 for my car.

 

so I dont plan on using spacers you think the 2.5" will be fine? they dont lose strength because of how long they are will they? (dont want to sound stupid, but I have no clue ahahahah)

 

check out this thread, its got alot of good information on it and pictures

so i finally hit my 1500 mile marker! ive been taking it up to redline and getting alittle sideways in empty parking lots but now i have a little oil leak coming from my front main seal. FML Well im not sure what to do about it yet but i did just get a used exedy 3 puck clutch and P.P. so i should be able to fix it after i remove the tran's. Other than that the car is running perfict and i love it.

holy **** is that a rack spacer? where do i get one like that?

 

yes it is, it is for the manual steering rack. now i just need the mazdatrix angle kit! i found a nice guy on here that can have them made!

 

rotorhead 722 very nice build! gives me ideas for my next project.

 

so they dont make anything like that for power steering racks? coz i have a de powered rack that i just spaced with washers but i would love to get some spacers like that for! and if you want to get some real angle out of that thing I would get some abercrombie steering knuckles and extended ball joints.

 

The mazdatrix kit only fits power racks. i had to get this so i could run it on my manual rack.

i picked up an extra set of knuckles, i was thinking about sending them to pbm but thats on the back burner now! I wish it would stop raining on my days off so i could get more work done!

 

so ive been trying to get all of my wire out of the car! im gonna strip them down and tuck them. and i got this old school thing in the mail!

Very nice yah

 

Need some advice, my trans is out, i want to replace my front main seal! How should i remove the front pully, im just worried about the spacer moving and crushing the bearing?

Anyway i feel like i got alot done today. Wiring is out except the emissions harness, trans is out, new clutch installed. well damn thats not really alot but i didnt want to take the UIM off yet. Next on the list is wire up the e6k!

I also have a bunch of parts for sale/trade like n374 ecu, arp extended studs, racing beat fcd, stock s5 turbo clutch/PP, exedy oem spec clutch/PP, RB rear lowering springs and bunch of other stuff. ill put a link to my sale thread on here once it is approved!

 

I love it just slowly leting it become an all out race car! you know its easier to just rewire the whole car in my opinion. I just wanted to strip depin and tuck all my wireing but i decided its just easier to start from scretch and wire it all my self. look up a thread called (aluminum dash getting rid of stock wireing). theres some good stuff in there. and seriously when I look at your car I see my black fc in the future your doing everything I want to do to my black fc after I get my white fc done!

 

every time I look at this build I get more determined to actually go back to work on mine ahah

 

do it!!!
