I haven't worked on it much lately, I was waiting for my driveshaft. Anyways it got here so here's some updates.
Biggest thing is obviously the trans mount for the T2 trans and driveshaft. No Limit built me a mount, and I finally got a custom driveshaft in from Mazdatrix (took forever :< ).
I fixed up a few things in the engine bay. I cleaned up all the wiring and got rid of all the excess crap. I also installed different plug wires, double alternator pulley, fan relay, and a K&N filter kit for the carb.
I did some little things here and there. Installed 2 of my 4 new pedals from autovation. These are actually made for heel/toeing they aren't entirely rice parts.
I finished my battery relocation. Got a tiedown welded to the frame and have a marine box for regulations.
The next big thing I'm playing with is the suspension. I'd like to get the car low for auto-x and track days, but be able to raise it up for sweet rally action. I got the RE-Speed coilover kit for the front and rears. After talking with Billy I picked some custom spring rates and lengths. I opted for 10" long springs. Going by recommendations on specialstage I went with 225# fronts, and 125# rears. The softer rears will supposedly squat better for more traction in the dirt. We will see how this works.
The first pic shows the wheel gap in the back, lowest setting on 10" springs. I also have a set of 8" I'll keep for track days. Still working on the getting the fronts fitted.
The beast as it sits, waiting one day to drive.
Next things up are finishing the front suspension, new front sway, steering wheel, and a T2 shifter. We also found out there may be fuel delivery problems. I bought an inline pump, but I don't really want to install it yet. We'll see if some troubleshooting can get me running soon.
