Well, it's been back at my shop for most of the winter and I've been picking away at it for the last few months off and on. Here's some pics of the engine I built a couple yrs ago for it.





Iron that's resurfaced,hardened, painted and prepped for assembly.




Water jacket mods.

Btw, it's an 88t2 block with s5 T2 rotors and it was running an fd flywheel which was recently replaced with a lightweight steel one.




Then all the bushings were replaced with urethane ones and the dtss was eliminated.

Looks pretty. George must be itching to get that baby on a dyno and destroy his old numbers.

Front end put back together.


The subframe was dropped and a new dif mounts installed. The front mount is a mazdaspeed one and the rear ones are delrin.



Camber adjuster.


Here's a before shot of the fuel and brake lines.



They were all replaced as well as installing new rotors,calipers,pads and ss flex lines.




I'll post the rest of the pics later, I need to get to work now.

PS, sorry I took so long to get the pics up for you George.

Yeah, it's gonna work a lot better now that the primary fuel rail doesn't have a huge leak. There was a constant puddle of fuel on the lower intake manifold. Pretty scary. Now that the leak is fixed I have to retune everything before I can push it to 15psi.

Thanks guys, the water jacket mods are done on a mill. You can also use a drill press it's just a little more work.

Yeah that's him Hai. Not even sure if I'll do anything with my car this yr. I need to get the addition done and focus on the shop. We'll see what happens, but right now I don't have time to work on my car.

Exactly, can't really afford to spend time on my car right now. Not to mention it'll give me more time to focus on customer's at the track.
