Finally got a wing! 1400mm. No such thing as over the top in my book. Just need to make some higher legs.
The car is going back together this weekend, hopefully running on sunday.

Went in relatively easy. Took time but didnt really run into big problems. Hardest part bar lining up the box was fitting the starter motor in that bastard of a place. Had to take out the rad and move the anti roll bar to get room but no biggy.
All was looking well.
Started it up, eventually. Lots and lots of white smoke, wouldnt idle and wouldnt start again.
I made the mistake of not getting the head skimmed, didnt know it was essential.
So this is how it is now.

noice.
Hopefully getting it on tonight and started again. I think the head was the only problem, but we'll find out! Still on target for saturday.
Quick tip leave the box and engine together and take out the rad and they just come straight out. Same going back in you just need to line up the ppf. I dont a clutch at the weekend by taking the lot out. Was handier than trying line up box on the ground.
Everyone was saying that to me. I dont know why I just wasnt arsed unplugging the box haha
Bit of an update. The car is being a right prick. It does not want to start. Takes ages but when it does it sounds smooth and revs nicely.
Havnt taken it for a spin yet though.
Going to try new oil and plugs and see what happens.
The mazda's second coming.
Not starting 100% but getting there. Took her for a spin and it was good, bar the siezed brakes, no power steering and coolant leak, but the engine worked and thats a win. All should be well now for the morning heading to autoheroes. Talk about cutting it short!
Wang isnt on yet, need to make some cross braces to make it more secure. It will look epic though.
Also, hubcaps are back.

Still not starting properly, found out why, the ecu thinks i have 240cc injectors when I actually have 420cc. Silly ecu.
