Super Clean LSx SSM build
The previous owner snapped this photo as I was driving out of St. Louis
Got her home and up on the lift to get things started.
Here is all the work done to the rear end of the car. It's basically all brand new. All new hardware from Ray at Malloy.
All the brand new hardware for the front end
RZ Spec calipers straight from Mazda Japan
The front end is currently all stock so I'm tearing it all out for the new shiny parts.

Subframe installed.
Lower control arms back in.

Got the front hubs, rotors and calipers mounted up today. Also got a nice package in the mail!!
The hubs were new from Mazda but were bare steel. The old ones were rusted out real bad so a quick coat of engine enamel should do the trick.
Fast 92/92 with 42lb injectors and rails.

Rotors came from a company no longer in business. They were part of a group buy like 6 years ago. Luckily for me they came new in a box of parts when I bought this roller.
Got the motor set in place and starting to massage the firewall to fit the FAST Intake.

Looks really good. How long til you're driving?
I hadn't seen floating hat stock sized rotors before. Totally jealous. Rishie is gonna hook me up with some slotted stockers from stoptech.
I think you might be in the market for a big brake kit with all that power on tap LoL!
