I'm going to bring the axles up there as well. I think redrilling will be fine.

Well today I did something I should have done along time ago: I found the original Cosmo crank pulley and transferred the timing marks to the set of pullies I've been using. Basically, the accessory pulleys that were on my 12a.



At any rate, I'm going to get the thing to start and RUN before I make the switch to the RB dual sheave pulley system. I picked up a v-groove water pump pulley from mazdaspeed7 so I have everything but the belt to switch over.



Today I put my suspension back on the car. I got the assemblies back from the machine shop with the part that adapts the FC 5lugs to my spindles. The shop is going to market these so as soon as I talk to him again I'll plug his site . He is in the process of fabricating backing plates to fit the stock FC rotor size (as anything bigger would probably be overkill seeing as how 4 piston calipers are already going to make the car stop on a dime) and I should be getting them sometime in the next week or so. Until then the car remains unmovable. He is also investigating a way for me to put disk brakes and convert to 5lug for the rear wheels as well without having to drop my entire rear-end assembly for a GSL-SE rear end. I already swapped in the SE LSD and I really don't want to have to swap the entire rear end at this point.



Here are some pics of how it looked for a week and how it looks now. After I figure out what to do with the rear I'm going to order a nice set of wheels and tires.



The battery was dead because I'm an idiot and left the ignition turned on for basically an entire week, so I can't test out the new timing settings until tomorrow. It will either blow up or purr like a kitten. I'm hoping for the latter ..

Just as a side note, this is NOT a spacer. It mimics the form of the FC spindle. There is no change in wheelspacing at all.

A short vid of it running .

GOD DAMN! Is that on stock ports? It sounds really mean, I would hate to sit next to that at a stop light, or at the track.



Good job man!

Yeah that's stock ports, it's not tuned or anything because I still have an oil problem. If you think that sounds beastly, check out the vid I posted in the engine section: Teh Oil Problems [MOV].



My friends said the whole sleeper effect will be gone when people hear the motor, LOL.

Nah, if somebody asks when they pull up next to you, say one of your ignitor coils have gone bad. Then spank them!



Whoa, that video would scare the **** out of me. I am guessing that is not normal.

Any thing new happened yet? No update in 3 months!!

wtf? why are you running it with no upper intake?

Dysfnctnl85

Where've you been Mike, I was trying to figure out the source of the oil problem, and that was forever ago . The car runs now but will only hold 20psi of fuel pressure after installing my new FPR and getting a new secondary rail. I have to rest my foot on the throttle to keep it running or it will die.
