A lot of respect for this build. Constant reworking also says a lot... You Sir are a mad scientist

Over the weekend i managed to take on a couple of things.
This should go nicely with the stand alone and the Blaster II



GTR sway bar which is solid vs the OE bar that is hollow



A few under chassis/subframe pics.



The rear end




MMMM I love me some LSD... 2 way MAZDASPEED




after some sanding and a little primer



and some paint...



Then had to replace the lug bolts for the spacers



Had to do some back yard machining to get them to clear the lower section of the Hub.

Well the Down Pipe is almost complete.... 3" down with separate 2" waist gate

looks beautiful!

Oh yeah! poetry in motion

has it been done or is it impossible?

Not unless you convert to automatic, and if the AWD trans fits, I know the regular auto KL trans doesn't, I would expect the KL AWD auto to be the same.

ah ha the no awd klze for me lol but ill be good if i cant just get my hands on a klze when i get back stateside

The AWD trans did not fit without some manipulation, that is for sure. could it work SURE. If i ever blow the BP, O I Got Ideas.... M62, on a built KL motor, on my AWD chassis. mmmm it would look like sex in the engine bay

Ya, but an AWD Manual BP trans is a different story than an AWD Automatic KL trans. The FWD automatics from the KL's apparently don't even work/fit, can't imagine the AWD being any easier. Unless you can fit that BP AWD onto a KL and hopefully it'll still line up the rear drive shaft through the tunnel. Would be the most feasible option, if it can work.

Small update for the time being

The difference between the MX-3 frame rail (inner) and the Protege frame rail (outer).
sorry for the kinda crappy pics my phone is on the fritz




Then because I have been thinking about a 5 lug swap, what would my 18" VS XX's look like on the MX...






What do you guys think? Thought impressions on these BIG @$$ wheels under the MX?

more progress pics to follow very soon.

BTW that's a 255-45-18

^^Kind of surprised no feed back on using the 18" wheels!... ^^

Slight update tho

New, well new to me OE RX8 exhaust tips, so far I have a full 3" SS exhaust (straight threw), and these will finish the look i am going for. I will mount them center underside of the rear bumper. I am going for the straight shot from the exhaust with the least amount of bends. I am not sure about the muffler though I am thinking a 14" polished oval Magnaflow...

any thoughts?



emblems - for my next MX project
