Gotta spray those babies with some lube first! At least they go on easier than they come off!

Got the stock transmission out yesturday along with the stock clutch. Putting in the Exedy stage 1 organic clutch today and GXL trans with a GXL driveshaft. Also doin some exhaust work. Turns out I had one of those 2.5" downpipes lol.

Just a couple photos of what I'm doing. Sorry for shitty resolution. Camera on phone isn't the best.

Fixed brakelight switch, replaced battery that wouldnt hold a charge, and began detailing the car so it can be dropped off at RP to be tuned again. 20psi this time. Just finishing up the last little details before moving in to my new place in florida.

checked what the radom code that caused limp mode and CEL in my S5 GTU was. Turns out to be a OMP failure, checking the ECU in a few minutes to see if it is fried too.

Pulled out the Mazda "recall" for fan control. Pulled AC controls out to do "Hyperite" mod for giggles. Last night readjusted tps with Ant from Franken Rotary and realized my water temp sensor had come unplugged...car ran much better after taking care of that.

I plan on making it down to clearwater on Oct 15th. Having the car retuned and some last minute things squared away at rotary performance in Dallas before the car heads on to florida with me.

High pressure side of power steering hose leak, a few of the worn out bushings in the rear suspension, WG dump being plumbed into the DP, tune for around 20psi. Bought a few things that I needed from chris too. i.e. new floor mats, new coin/ash tray, R1 factory lip.

I have a decent street port with a fairly small single turbo. Having RP max out the boost and then backing it off two pounds so I'm not ringing the **** out of it.

Check out my other interior thread to see what we just finished.
