PPF= Power Plant Frame. That holds the trans to the engine on an FD. Google search it, it will make sense. The Miata was the first to use one.

A baffled tank is what is used in Fuel injected cars to avoid starvation caused by the fuel sloshing around. I believe GSL-SE's have a baffled tank, whereas the 12a's didn't.

RE-Speed is working on some sweet drop in custom tanks for FB's right now. Might want to hit them up.

The PPF supports the trans and dif, not trans to engine.


The FC 13BT would be an eaiser swap, but the REW really isn't a big deal. You wouldn't want to use the FD trans, just use an FC T2 trans/flywheel/clutch, custom driveshaft and you're drivetrain is set... the rest of the mods mentioned already are a must as well.

My bad. I got confused!
