Figure I'd toss up an update:
My polishing sucks so I bought some already polished parts:
Painted the calipers and waterpump housing. There are a few places where I scuffed the front calipers sanding down the mazda logo but behind a wheel it will be impossible to tell:
And last Friday I also got my engine back from Banzai as well as a few other parts:
Large Streetport, ALS apex seals, banzai oil pan brace + OMP delete. NGK bur9eqp all around. And an exedy twin plate.
Tanabe front and rear strut tower bars:
Magnecore plug wires, poly motor mounts, SS clutch line, gm 3-bar map sensor, block off plates, new throwout bearing:
I also got an AEM uego wideband and truboost but they are up for sale now since i want to go with a Blitz sbc id for boost control.
Priority now is finish tucking the body harness and fuse + relay boxes. Just really need to make brackets now but it's too cold out
