Many things happend again.

HLA's of my KLDE engine were completly stuck, so a small overhaulage.
Image

Measuring crankshaft
Image

Perfect in spec.


Also cleaned and measured all bolts of the bottom-end.
Image

Crank is in.... slow proces of building the engine.
Image

In the meanwhile picked up my car after a fresh engine bay paint.

And... a very happy person with my PRESSO floormats :)

Working on some more wiring.
Will take more interieur pics lateron.

Every aftermarket electronics hooked up in the car will be properly fused and all the wires nicely tucked in 'snakeskin'.
**damn what a work **
-- at the same time documenting how it is hooked up.

Also the connectors to the amps and wiring will be redone; order has been placed to get the necessary things in.


My KLZE heads have been port matched for intake / exhaust so that build can also slowely start.

Trying to find a brake disk in a 4 hole pattern in 300mm+ size for my mazdaspeed 6 calipers.

And.. Dont believe I posted on this, the 3rd brakelight with a big thanks to Mooneggs.

Re: WhiteFinish's Log Wires

Post by WhiteFinish »

Wires, wires, wires.

I think now I'm about 95% done with putting these covers around every not-original wire (+ original engine bay wires).

It looks great, just like OEM.
Big benefit as well is that it is flame retardend.
