Don't even play bro.....

There was. I don't know much else about it, but there definitely was an "atenza" that was gen2, AWD, non turbo, RHD. Not sure for the gen1 but I'd imagine there might be one too. OP has put a lot of time and love into his project. Nice build!

On the driver side of the fuel injector rail. It usually has a cover/shield over it

I considered taking my grinder to some of the bolt cup, that's the only spot where the under piping kit touches. The materials are supposed to be steel, so grinding a bit off for clearance won't harm the structural integrity of that bar. I never got around to it. I took it off for some...

@GCPhotographers I found some. These are from 2019. TB Performance traction bars on both front and rear. The piping is the HTP under engine piping kit. The hotpipe would just sit on the edge of the passenger bolt cup. It seemed stable so I drove it a while. The piping did get a small...

Whalecum! Always glad to have another grease monkey on here. Good info on your Mountune crank thread.

Thank you for your service brother.

Bilstein for the win! Whether it's track or street, their rebound valving is what makes the ride smooth yet sporty. Having fiddled with a couple of adjustable coilovers, I wouldn't waste my time or money on them again. Proper damper valving and spring rates will make a bigger difference than...

Been in your shoes before. Best thing to do, is ask yourself what the car is worth TO YOU. Not the value in blue book or trade in value. If you let the insurance total it, you'll get peanuts for it. You could part it out, but that is very tedious. Been there done that too. I got into a...

The CD player is important to me. I have a LOT of underground music that isn't on streaming apps or is out of print. My half bro recommended a Kenwood unit he got for an old car, but for now it's extremely low on the priority list.

Small update... Got some gaskets and maintenance parts this week. Lots of little things for the Speed. Spark plugs, ITFP sock filter, new coolant tank and cap, axle seals, valve cover gasket, etc etc.... Oil change for the Mustang. For the truck... New taillights, Ignition cylinder...

I haz 12 ton, but it needs a new hydraulic jack. You gotta get real creative in supporting the control arms with some of these presses.

Please let me know how the bearing puller works for you. I have a kit like that, and bought it for the same reason as you. Been useful on many other projects, EXCEPT the control arm bushings. I literally got fed up and torched a LCA out of pure anger. Damn thing didn't die.

The fact that it can pick up fuel from just that one single corner of contact, is pretty amazing!

It's true the rust on manifolds has to do with quality of the manifold, it also depends on where you live and the weather. I've seen cheap exhaust rot/rust here in FL, not to mention the weird rust you get on cars the closer you live to the coast. It's not like northern salt rust from winters...

As far as I know, that vent tube is supposed to stay open like that on the firewall. As far as the catch can, as long as it was just mild smoke and it was cold and wet, you should be fine. If it starts smoking once it's warmed up and idling, could be worn rings or cracked ringlands. Based on...

Swain Tech is awesome! It's some extra money and work, but I would totally recommend them if you are on the fence. I had the manifold ceramic coated by full race when I ordered it, just convenient. I sent the hotside of the BNR to swain tech. First thing that was obvious, quality...

Yes, on a MS6 there is a breather hose on the firewall for the transfer case or something like that. I have a MS3 Gen2, so I forget the details. But the weird breather hose has been discussed plenty of times. As for the smoke, that looks like an oil catch can. Quite a few reasons for why it...

Love it! If you want or need any info just let me know. I have a shit ton of notes written down from modifying these cars over the last 12 years. Everything from suspension tuning notes, to pics and data from heat management. There is a lot of stuff that mazda did right, and a shit ton that...

Is that ppf stuff what you put on your roof now? I'm open to ideas to help seal it once it's treated and painted. Yeah, about this mental health stuff.... it only gets worse with age... I flew out to NC last November for my buddies 40th birthday. (Same dude I bought the truck from) Our...
