Rear muffler

 

Remote oil filter, mounted on firewall in the engine bay.



Regarding the scattershield. If you look carefully at the photos, including the ones Jeff20B posted when I was using a Mazda RX-5 gearbox (now using Toyota Supra 5 speed as the engine ate both my RX5 boxes!!), you can see the braided hose is cabletied to the scattershield, and the pvot for the gear lever is attached to it.



Its just hard to see because its painted the same colour as the bellhousing.

 

mazda_racer, you run this beast in sports sedans or something?

 

Looks great. Good luck with it.

 

That car is an R100, right? That shifter left an impression on me back in '02, and I seem to recall it being in an R100. Nice muffler mount by the way.

 

The intermediate 'lunchbox' is hand made and packed with steel wool, which I bought at a hardware store, a bit like Scotchbrite.





That photo doesn't do the size of that rear muffler justice - its quite large, and is straight through a perforated stell tunnel.



The shifter in the original car had to be replaced because when the RX5 gearboxes started giving me trouble I snapped it one day in the heat of racing. The billet lever is much higher and easier to shift, and very solid.



Yes, its a 1968 Mazda R100 Coupe.



Cheers,

Peter

 

Very nice and clean car. Good luck with the engine.

 

Here's a pic of the car:

 

SICK!

 

haha well mazda_racer that pic answers my question from earlier, this is obviously a sports sedan car...



How fast does it run around a track? (compared to say wakefield or some other 'near the top' IPRA rotor)
