sweet ride man, bridge porting is a little more unforgiving when it comes to the street.

im also in that area, cape coral. so if you know of any mazda clubs or anything like that in the area let me know.

well i changed out my tranny and diff. fluids. found some brass flakes in the tranny fluid. i believe its from second gear. i used redline shockproof light for both tranny and diff., but added some friction modifier to the diff. i also have the 4.88 rear end gears coming and it will be here next week, so im preping a pig for it. im going to check my other tranny and see what kind of condition its in and may do a swap with that as well.



slowly but surely this is turning into faster car.

i got my 4.88 in a casing and took all the largest clutch plates and put them into the LSD for more bite. i will do the install next weekend. 1st and 2nd gears are going to be none existent, but 3rd and 4th is where it is really going to shine.

well, i got the 4.88 in and it runs like a dream!!! pulled the vette out of the garage and replaced it with the parts car so i can properly tear it down till nothings left. got laid off, so all funded projects are on hold till further notice.

yeah it sucks, but no sense in thinking too long or hard about it. sign of the times, know what i mean.



anyways got a lot done this week with very few problems with old bolts and screws breaking or stripping.
