talk is cheap.
definately take pics, sounds more like a dream car wish list than a project list for a few months.
wtf are 3mm stock apex seals? with all that crap you'd think the money tree wouldnt mind some extra shaking for the ceramics anyways eh?
why replace the rotors? of all things that could be replaced they're the least likely to be bad unless you dropped a bolt in
your intake or broke a seal, seems weird to put on the list new rotors unless you were getting different ones.
all that dough and no lightening or clearancing of the rotors, nonexistant 3mm stock apex seals (stock is 2mm no?)
sounds like hot air... or you just have more research to do before that list is conclusive.

I was thinking the same things... Well, about the seals (3mm) and replacing the rotors.
Anyway, if you got the cheese... go 20B.

bacause im doing all the work except the rebuild and even making a fair amount of the parts myself i will save a whole lot. very few of the parts i am actually buying or at least buying new. it's good to have machinist friend's with cnc machines

sorry some of it might not have made sense. i mad the list at 4am. when i sadi stock 3mm seals i meant mazda 3mm seals. not stock to a 3rd gen. i don't remember what motor they are off of but everyone i talked to said if u go 3mm use the stock mazda ones. as far as the new rotors when my brother blew my motor the seals imbedded themselves in the rotor face and chunked it up. the blueprinting and clearencing etc is included in the rebuild. pineapple is basically doing all the bells and whistles. and as fas as what im going to have the machinist make it is stuff like the polyurethane bushings, toe links, undertray, piping exhaust etc. sorry about the confusion it makes alot more sense in my head

Boy, you must have the biggest family ever!!! gift certificates....have u been saving them since childhood??? Just a joke man!
Although that list sounds nice, there seems to be a LOT of crap in there thats more of a waste of money than anything. Of course, if youre building a serious race car and have the $$$$$ to burn like that, by all means go for it!
I'm sure you would be pretty pissed if someone spends half the money and ends up with a faster car more reliable car. Again, some of that stuff is just overkill in my humble opinion.
