since the motor is gonna be out of the car, change the timing belt, water pump, all gaskets (valve covers, cam, intake mani, rear oil seal), pcv valve, hoses, thermostat, new clutch, resurface flywheel, new tranny fluid, motormounts, oil, radiator fluid, ze ecu, stainless steel clutch line.
thats all i can think of at 2:30 am after werk

nessisary= port/swap exhaust manifolds. Get a new clutch. Really, really, really advise getting Mazdaspeed motor mount. Read my responce to the low clutch engagement too. Lata.
