You're missing a piece.
There's a bracket that cradles the trans and bolts to the blocks on either side. This then drops onto the crossmember you show in the pics. |
Page J1-9 of the fsm shows the assembly but it's all listed under the name "transmission mount" and not individually named/numbered.
You can see what it looks like though. |

here is the FSM pic. keep in mind that the rubber bit, 39-340 is the same S4 and S5, but the other bits are not.
39-410 is S4 or S5, and then 39-380 is S4 NA, S4 T2 or S5 na or S5 T2 |

Alright thank you..
Im kind of worried about my steering rack. I removed the power steering so i dont know if it can withstand a lot of punishment. Whats should i do about it? |
Update
Im getting the ruel rails cut on the ends and put -6 an fittings on them. I also got the Walboro fuel pump and the Mazda Trix Throtle cable. Going to be dropping the motor in this weekend hopefully. |
Are you installing a manual rack or just depowering the rack?
There are several write ups on properly converting a power rack to manual, I've done it twice and it's not hard (assuming you have some tools). There are three ratios available with the FC racks. Some power racks are 15:1, some are 17:1 and all manuals are 20:1. Depending on tire size and intended use, one ratio may suit you better...I prefer the straight manual 20:1 for a street car with a stock diameter steering wheel. |

bump. Just doing some small tedious things to the car. But looking to fire it up very soon.

I'm not familiar at all with racks and I'd like a rack that would be good for 🔞 inch rims too...

The driver side clamp is the same no matter what rack you use but the passenger side is specific to the rack. If you buy a manual rack, be sure to get the clamp also. -Depower/convert your rack. Here's how you do it: Flyin' Miata : Tech: 1.8 conversion |

Anybody have any suggestions? |
Landon is somewhere around you isn't he?
He probably has more 7's laying around than most junkyards. |

I'm not sure who Landon is but I'd definitely get in contact with him if I can.

What's the name of his business? He does seem to have a whole lotta 7's but I don't know if he parts them or what. Must be relatively close, certainly worth a pm. Obviously, there's also our forum sale section and ebay. |
Alright, thanks guys. The progress has been slow since we are purchasing a home and have been getting ready to move. Im hoping the end of April the car should be on a track..

Needed parts
Hey guys i need a downpipe for a stock turbo set up!
Also looking for a coilover suspension. |
Installed
Installed the coilovers and the front end of the car.
Im waiting on fuel rails from my fab guy. Then ill be getting fuel system done. Ive decided to contact the Delerium Motorsports team to tune the car. My aim is a humble 350whp but will settle for any reliable numbers over 300whp. The turbo is stock and i dont want to ruin anything before i upgrade the turbo.. Anyway im still in search of parts if anyone has any, i need bolts for water pump housing and bolts for the alternator and starter. Here are some.pics of the car how it sits at the moment. And some.parts |
