LOL Brent; you're welcome.

 

[slightly_red_MA70]

So I'm stuck with a problem right now.....

driftmotion won't answer my emails and as of last tuesday the parts i had ordered 2 weeks ago weren't even shipped yet!!!! :-(

And also, I have an 89 motor with an 88 body so I am wondering what engine mounts I am going to need(i have the mount parts from the 89 that attach right to the motor). I would like to get the billet solid mounts from BIC but I need to know what year first.

I wish I didn't bother looking at this thread, I just realised how much laundry I have to do....

[LAYZORBEEMZ]

[slightly_red_MA70]

Hey peoples!

So I haven't got any updates recently due to, well...not really getting much done. And I've been busy with my new job(Got a job working for a local Mazda dealership).

Pretty much what I have done is;
-Got the intercooler mounted
-Motor is together(just missing, knock sensors, TPS, ICV, flywheel, and intercooler piping)
-Lowered the car to where it will sit for now :icon_bigg
-Oil cooler mounted
-fuse box mounted inside fender
-battery box mounted

Pics!

Had to cut out a piece from the hood latch support for it to fit, and its still at an angle :biglaugh:

Thats how shes gunna sit for now. (the front is higher casue the motor wasnt in yet...

Oh I forgot to mention...........


THE MOTOR IS SITTING IN NOW!!!:icon_bigg:icon_bigg:icon_bigg

Just waiting on the flywheel and the trans will go on, knock sensors then the rest of the intake will go on, and intercooler piping and she'll be ready to start up! :icon_surp

I am hoping that this week it will be running. I really don't want to have to tow it to my new place in chilliwack lol

 

[LAYZORBEEMZ]

You moved to chilliwack? Coool.

 

[slightly_red_MA70]

Yes sir. Moving to Veder on June 1st with Brenton(bluema70, who should be burgundyma70 now haha)

 

[LAYZORBEEMZ]

I should move in once I'm done school haha. Jk but that'd be so fun.

He should as supracentral to change his username to burgandyma70, or TheBURGman haha, he changed mine to layzorbeemz.

 

[slightly_red_MA70]

Soooooooooo. I need intercooler piping...I've been looking at driftmotion($240) and CXRacing($200), but there is a huge wait for the shipping.

I need; 2.5" piping, x2 straight pipes, x2 90 degree bends, x2 180 degree bends, x2 45 degree bends, x6-8 2.5" silicone couplers, x12-16 2.5" t-bolt clamps, x2 3"-2.5" silicone reducers, and x2 3" t-bolt clamps.

I guess I'm wondering if there is any local places that I can get all the same stuff as both those places for the same price(or cheaper as those prices include shipping)? (A.K.A Chilliwack to Vancouver)

 

[gurley0916]

How do you see 200 for the cxracing intercooler piping kits?!?! I see them come up for 85 shipped on ebay.

 

[laotionracer101]

Hmmm not bad not bad at all, although i was expecting to read this thread all the way up to the Youtube post of the first start i guess i'll just have to tune in everyonce and a while.

do you know how to weld or have a welder...? you could easly cut and weld or go to mullfer shop and have them make the bend you want...

 

[nick88]

Buy universal kit from driftmotion, cut and mark it, and take it to someone that can weld it (aluminum).
