I just stumbled upon this forum and here is my first posting showing off my ride! I put her together in about 14 days and been driving for about 1000 miles with no problems to date, need a few more parts and some work done to make her 100% reliable to take to the track. I registered for NASA and MAZDASPEED Parts/Contingency program. Enjoy! Picture when I found her on Craigslist Now in my driveway! Clean stock engine bay but it will be taken out for a S5 Turbo II swap from the parts 91. Going up for the full Turbo II swap! You can see my copy of "Grassroots Motorsports" on my '63 Lincoln Continental, yes I enjoy classic cars also! Up and hood off, everything coming out, that's my boy MV helping with the dis-assembly. Engine coming out! Out! Beefier T2 Rear end with VLSD and vented rotors going in. Engine from parts 91 T2 out Rear end out and ready for Turbo rear end. Turbo rear end installed with Mazdaspeed coilovers and Ground Control Camber adjuster rod. Now engine trans and shaft ready to go in. S5 T2 engine cleaned and ready to install Smaller rotor and caliper removed for T2 Brake swap Larger 4 piston calipers, thicker vented rotors and my MAZDASPEED coilovers installed Turbo II engine going in! In and everything bolted up Night shot before tomorrows work connecting everything and starting her up! Larger FD ALT KOYO N-Flow I borrowed until my new job sends me my new Radiator, Oil coolers and possibly a intercooler!@ It got late and I didn't wash the intake box, later but she was running! Here a few vids.
