Testing the weight tolerances that mazda has used.

B weight rotors were off by about a 1/2 of a sideseal... GMON wants perfection!

GMON's motor looks good to go.

Big front control arms bushing is finally off. Almost ready to slap the front of the suspension back together. Got the bushing install/removal kit in the back to get the rear done. Then install the bumpstop and get the car back on the ground.

Where did you get that bushing install/removal kit? What does it use to make the job easier? I have only heard of burning out bushings or using a hydraulic press, and am very interested in a better tool for the job.

It has all the right tools to use in a press. You don't have use sockets or worry about scraping the metal surfaces..

yeah, it runs. It's just been in storage all winter and now the garage is full of my bike, tons of parts, and this t2 parts car i'm cutting up to make space.



my car needs some things fabbed for it still, fan shroud is next on the list, then air box (something boost-safe that will work fine NA for now), then likely T4 flanged manifold https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png and custom exhaust & intercooler plumbing. Not to mention I have to finish up the interior and the LCD gauges for it.
