RX-....hovercraft?

Nice progress Brad, and happy belated

BTW, quick question to all the coilover veterans - Tein Flex vs. Tein basic damper, is it worth the price difference?

Correct! Whatevers though. Good enough to push it around.

Was thinking after I blast everything to have the control arms, dif bracing and engine subframe powder coated shinny copper. Think that could make my **** pop!

Either reach out to one of the vendors or start a WTB thread in the NW For Sale section and the main Classified section.

******* fighting to get the old/salted/beat to hell OEM bushings out of the suspension. Only had an hour with the press and was time to go home. So since the press is at dads friends shop, ive been using torch, pb blaster and clamps Its coming along, but holy ****, what a pain.

Also why in Mazdas infinite ******* wisdom did they decide to enclose ball joints into the control arms is beside me.


Powdercoat maybe and install bushings. My transmission was shipped Friday so once I install everything I should have motor/trans/rear end all in the car by the end of the month. Turbo fab time!

In Mazda's infinite wisdom, enclosing ball joints into a-arms probably saved weight and reduced compliance.
