I've got a few blue and a red set around. I'll pick them up for you next time I'm at the garage if you want me too.

Well heres an update on the TII swap. The motor is done, parts picked up from cafcwest, AFM, fuel cut defender, and upper manifold. The wiring harness is back in its homeplace everything hooked up and have power the only thing left is TII halfshafts, and my mazdaspeed intake. The wiring isnt that bad just hard to get info on which 2 wires have to be run. The differential is a royal pain in the ***. Hopefully be test driving it next weekend.

wow, g-force is AMAZING now. i love the reverse track SOOOO much better.

i was there about 8 last night and it was packed. they did a couple superkart only races. i placed second fastest in both. there was some guy that was insanely fast, and he was almost lapping everyone.

anyways, i came out with a 23.91x. i was pretty happy about that. anyone else have times on the new track?

I just heard about the reverse track from Wheels Friday....I wish I could say I still went there, but honestly, the TII gets all my play money.

I might start going back some more this winter since my garage is just around the corner. We REALLY need to have a meet on Fri or Sat night.

well advance sold there last one this morning! Mazda doesnt have them anymore, napa wants $100 and it wont be here till monday. The shaft is supposed to press out with a gear puller, well i started with 3 prongs on the puller, broke one, then went to 2 prongs on the puller and stripped the bolt that goes through the puller. This is a craftstman puller with a 5/8 bolt and the prongs are like 1/2 inch thick. The pass. side on the vert was a pain to get off but it finally pressed out. This is the drivers side on the TII that wont come out, both halfshafts are the same so if you could get me one by like friday jayson, ill make it worth the trouble.

Hey jayson, im off tommorow through monday. If you happen to find a TII halfshaft tommorow give me a call on my cell and ill come get it, with cash in hand. Ive finished everything up tonight, all i got left is to put hood on, halfshaft, get air out of the coolant system and im ready to ride. I really want to be able to go to the drift event and have the RX there, theres gonna be a couple of maryland rex's there also.
