25 APR 07

Front GSLSE suspension installed. Front stainless steel brake lines and rear steel line installed, master cylinder installed. Brake lines in engine compartment and proportioning valve installed.








Temporary GSLSE tires installed. I have some nicer shinier wheels and fresh tires to install later.




Engine that I am going to install. I am going to clean it up, reseal the oil pan (just in case) and take off air pump (using block off plate).

A little update here since I have been busy at work and shipping Ebay stuff. A few days off and I am getting closer to finish.

Removal of the pilot bearing. It takes a few seconds to do the job with the REAL MAZDA pilot bearing removal tool. Best thing I ever bought besides my Racing Beat flywheel stopper/nut removal tools.



Removed pilot bearing and seal. Damn, the freaking thing didn't have the needle bearing in it.



New clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing.





New pilot bearing and seal.



New clutch installed



Engine and tranny bolted together.



New starter



Engine and tranny bolted in the car





I am getting closer..........Next is Racing Beat Exhaust, plugging everything up, bleed the brakes......

Car was eventually sold to a forum member here, fixed, got wrecked, sold again to another person and wrecked again. I guess the engine was too strong for them.

As far as the welds, it was done with a mig welder.
