Thanks for clearing that up Casey, I was a little confused to. You guys know how I am with a wrench though. I'll be back by the time the snow is gone from the mountains.

Damon, it's a good thing you enjoy wrenching; I think you've already spent more time building that car than driving it!

If you're going to open the new motor before installing it, I recommend carving grooves in the coolant passages (of the rotor housings) while you're in there, especially down near the spark plugs and exhaust ports.


Best of luck,
-s-

 

I think I'm just going to re-seal it before I install it. If it blows, I'll get another or rebuild. My old engine is almost out and I'm really stoked to be going RE. By the way, my car has definatly spent more time on jack stands than wheels. I think the wrenching is at least half the fun.

Yeah guys bought this part like 2 months ago. But can't tell which series it goes to. The one on the right is for my S5 GXL, but what is the one on the left for. Can i use it on my S5 GXL if not what Series is it from. Thx any input would be nice

 

its an s5 na manifold.... no other manifold looks like that... only s5 na

 

Thx Vipers
Oh yeah just remembered that some of U still use the white back ground

 

no, i still need $ for tires and i want to spend some time cleaning them up before i put them on (i have to do it right the first time or it will bug me forever.)

 

Does anybody have a release bearing for a S4 NA

 

yeah, but its on my car.

 

i have a release bearing for an s4 na. shoot me an offer. brand new.
also have 6 puck race clutch and pressure plate from ACT

 

Yeah RE drifter really needs to get his spit together. I'd help him work on his car if he ever acted upon it.

 

man i know that feeling. "I've got another jug of coolant. That leek can wait a few more days..."

hey Damon, what exhaust do you have? Can i see some pics?

 

My muffler guy made a custom 3inch dp back for a hundred bucks. It's crush bent and the muffler is a Seabring.

 

Here's a pic. By the way, my motor/tranny is out and almost ready for sale. Just need to pull off some of my mods and and wire harness. My RE is ordered and will be delivered as soon as this engine is sold. By the way guys, if anyone needs an S4 T2 long block/tranny I've got one. It has been resealed, new thermo delete, waterpump, dual pully set-up, emmissions properly blocked off, new uim/lim gaskets, all new silicone hoses, new TPS, mazdatrix racing oil by-pass, new thermostat,a bunch of other stuff, and runs stong with only 33k mi.

 

looks nice socalfct2

damn its hard to get rid of my bike i am literally giving it away and no one is jumping on this

 

man i wish i could deal with something like that...

i cant even polish up a set of wheels

 

so cal... very clean under the hood.... nice!

 

lol your one to talk cousin. You only work on you car when I do. And take that damm sig off, I can drift better that you with one rotor.

 

to bad I don't have this sat off or I would go to the meet.

 

Polishing rims is tough, and very messy too. At least you understand the fundamentals of how your car works better than most fc owners.

Thanks Casey. I can't wait to see a shiny RE in that engine bay. It's gonna be bitchin'!
Damon

 

how many of you guys going to the meet saturday?

 

^^^ what he said.

 

I should be there.

 

If I post here too, can I be counted twice? ( I am a schizophrenic , and so am I )
I crack me up . . .

 

i'll be there, but i dont think i'll be doing the run (cheap tires still + work)
