New FD in Town!

[speedjunkie]

Damn you did more to relocate your relay box than I did haha.

I think they should have used a dual pass radiator too. I wonder if it would have cost more or something.

[chickenwafer]

The cost between a regular Koyo and an N-Flow Koyo is about $50 bucks, it's not that bad. I really don't understand why they didn't do it...

Got a little break from the field, so I dropped the UIM, TB, Turbo housing and the cool side charge pipe from Defined for polishing. He's only charging me for the UIM and Compressor Housing everything else is on the house. I already polished the charge pipe but it wasn't to the polisher standards and he took it from me lol.

Also installed my Hallman MBC, Extended the fan connectors, did some maintenance on the engine harness, tried to install my short shifter then realized that the oem shifter collar was gone lol, Installed Prosport boost gauge.

I also ordered a bunch of stuff for when i get back from the field: 8an hose, fittings, weld in bungs, oil filter adaptor, water temp gauge, wastegate spring 11 psi, hks ground kit, polished LIM

The shifter collar you're talking about...didn't you tell me it's the plastic bushing for the bottom of the shifter and it turned to dust? LOL I have that in my garage, I'm pretty sure I know where it is. Let me know if you need it.

I was thinking on ordering the brass shifter bushing from mazdatrix. Gotta do done research on it before I order thought.

[speedjunkie]

I got an aluminum one, if that's what you're talking about. I like mine. Haven't had any problems with it so far.

[chickenwafer]

I think my OEM shift collar is gone...Matt said my shifter had a lot of slop in it, and when I drove Matt's car, his doesn't, it's very tight. But I used to just chalk that up to his short shifter.

[speedjunkie]

Wait, are we talking about the collar that is around the fulcrum of the shifter, or the bushing that snaps onto the bottom of the shifter and takes up the extra space in the cavity? I have the shifter, but no collars. Actually I don't think it would work without the collar.

Im back from the field and ready to start working on my car, I've received a lot of parts including a Moroso breather tank, water injection bung, fittings, braided hose, water temp gauge, shifter bushing kit from Atkins, polished LIM and other random stuff.

I'll be getting all my parts from the polisher tomorrow and i'll be able to start putting the FD back together.

Sound awesome man, post up some pics!

How are you doing your breather/catch can setup?

[VRx8]

Here are the pics this guy did an outstanding job, I was really amazed with the quality of work.


Dave, sense my filler neck is already made out of metal I'm just going to weld a 6an bung to it and run the line to a catch can. That's it, it shouldn't be a lot of oil going inside the catch can any ways.

[chickenwafer]

Wow, that polished stuff looks GREAT, the UIM came out awesome. Much better than doing it yourself haha.

[VRx8]

Thanks Dave, Im gonna have to drop off the Greddy elbow for polishing is not going to match the rest of the polished stuff.

Finally got some work done today, made all the oil lines for the R1 coolers and installed them. Also relocated the fan relays by the oil cooler.
