Got the correct adapter for the Perrin or Stock Fuel Rail.

It converts the Hole to an AN6 Fitting.

Some of the brake parts...

The Brake Master is Metric, The majority of any aftermarket parts are not. They are 3/8" Flared. It is easy to find this stuff on E-Bay if you know exactly what you are looking for..

I hope that people in other cars roll up their windows to block out some of the sound.

(Get the picture)

Yes, I KNOW what they sound like. But if this car is your DD I was hoping YOU knew what they were going to sound like. If you can tolerate that whine mile after mile you have more intestinal fortitude than I would. That noise would drive me nuts!!
A race prepped car, like the Bimmer in the video is one thing, but a DD is quite another.
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind that straight line, ratcheting shifter in my DD.

The Front Wheel gap has been reduced. My Plan today is to get the rear brakes hooked up completely, except the fitting that goes from the Brake Bias to the Handbrake. It is an Odd Size and is special ordered from a place in the UK.

Here is what the trans looks like shipped.

I may not want "that noise" in my own car, but I have to admit... it's very pretty hardware ya' got ther' Brian. Some serious stuff.

And what is that third member? Is it a one-way or two. I can't tell from the pic.

Whatcha' gonna do with this car anyway? Is it a track car now or is it going to be? Or is it, as you say, 'just a toy?'

Very quick toy.

it's fun driving a POS Mazda that can basically destroy 99.6% of anything on any road.
