rotormotor

My engine builder has S6 rear and middle irons extended ported for $350 each. But yeah, if keen using FC manifold then be issues.

FYI FD irons and housings are the superior items, Irons more meat to port for one.

My engine builder said " Normally it's lack of coolant and I would replace ( if irons cracked). Not worth a dodgy repair taking everything out. I'd be putting it down to corrosion, rusty coolant passages my guess "

Are you getting a bespoke bonnet skin made up on the ute frame to suit the 3 nosecone?

My irons were all mint with no corrosion so I got lucky it seems. Welcome to rebuild time

Pockets not deep enough huh

Guess you seen the fender bolts on Jays channel? Can I assume the ute was dropped off to a certain well known airbrusher in Feilding?

Nearly have all the loom sorted/removed in engine bay..not yet found the wire for the factory dash boost gauge..grrr. Anyways pic of latest parts precurement. Trick NZEFI coil set, spendy injectors which don't match my colour scheme in any way, fuel line AN fittings & braided hose set, Spal puller fan, lightened flywheel, Cusco numberplate relocate just cos was getting their brake booster shocktower mount (YT vids says it makes a better pedal feel) , OEM heater line cis less hassle clean my one with corroded outlets and this match colour scheme, turbo oil feed line and Works Bell short boss kit...need a second kmart bin..

Home on its blanky..

Easter Keg..Bunny might have trouble fitting in his basket.

Other than schooling myself up on making new AN lines (I gonna have a few questions about that) , I been getting bits trickling in like Coils/injectors. Bigger news is I'm getting my very own Easter Keg this weekend.

Thanks, Is a squish getting in the 7 but street reg car 100%, clears that up. Cheers.

Cert needed for quick release steering wheel or WOF issue? Need Boss kit for my new Momo wheel. NRG have quick release kits, are these gonna be a WOF issue needing a cert? Cheers.

I have currently a twin pipe setup with resonators x2 and some JDM brand rear mufflers..mufflers hang far too low. Assume twin muffler etc quieten down the rotor moreso?

Thanks for the member who linked me Carclips in Dunners btw. Most helpful. Reason for 4 new housings in pic previously was I bought FC because cheaper, FD are a far better chroming finish and no dumb inlet manifold coolant ports to blank off with 20c pieces..so I bit the bullet and got FD ones, i'm sure hoarded NOS vapour blasted housing in the original boxes be worth lots in a decade or 2

Whilst waiting for builder to start the keg build, I been buying a looot of parts. He started the rotors last week (all new side seals need clearancing x12) then he onto stacking. Bought the 'infini' momo centre cap so many years ago..got the wheel to suit now, Infini was the top spec JDM version of the FC but also badged to the BF mazdas of the day? Mazda OEM, Franklin, Aeroflow,Link,Pac,..try my best to use only kiwi sourced stuff, but the US & AU has supplied a few trinkets that only they do...example is 3D printed gauge holder ontop of the gauges, deletes the ashtray flap which has never been used.. Currently in contact with Vinny fab in chch for some bespoke items further on the build. Anyways, pics of stuff from the bin..

Pretty hefty exhaust leak that, my leak was just the gasket after the downpipe. If you after any emission stuff or airpump let me know

Oh, and redid the mounting arm on alternator, that rough cast dags really irked me..great restraint not go further, looks uniform legit unlike my pic.

Also replaced the EGR emmision plate for the more shaped green bros one...Irked me way too much. Top half of manifold ( 'dynamic chamber' and factory throttle body/greddy intake tube etc) are now surplus to requirements moving on for reasons I will divulge another time..all that frikkn hard work vapour and reassemble/mod throttle body wasted Also a change of direction, twice the fun perhaps?

Fiiinally builder is free to build my sammie, dropping off irons & housings tomorrow...YUSS Have been furiously scoping out the future parts/bolt ons needed & buying bits n pieces last few weeks and tinkering on modifying bits for the factory items I'm actually keeping and the delooming process for engine bay repaint I'm sure when I get my keg back in one piece I be all focused and pepped up.. Projectlife?

You onto it fabbing the missing bits. Be mighty fun when sorted and road legals.

Ordering OEM mazda bits today asked if headlight motors still available. Showing obsolete.

Mayyyyte..I have the perfect engine option, fit in there no problems....

I have a S4 parts catelog, will dig out the number later might help.

Yeah, it so cool what you have got. Look forward to the project.
