So the fuel line size is apparent in these pictures.

I will get the Fuel Pressure Regulator placed on the firewall and get the fuel lines installed tomorrow.

I am also going to try to get the AEM CDI installed and fire up the engine to test out the new ignition.

I am waiting on some custom brake lines which are going to prevent me from taking the car for a drive and testing out the Go-Pro...

Thanks to Jeremy @ Elite Mazda for stopping by for Coffee and doping off some much needed parts...

When I removed the bolts that held the Tein-SS, I noticed that they were very difficult to remove plus they got very very warm, I did not want to reuse the bolts and after 10 Years of use, they owed me nothing.

Decided to replace them with OEM Grade 10 Bolts because some things are just not worth being cheap on...

Big Props for Etienne for setting up a front bushing order and also stopping by today for a Coffee and discussing suspension geometry Theory.

Brian MP5T

Pressing bushings in the morning.

Are you ever in the Orleans area at all? I saw a white Protege5 on Bottriel way yesterday.

But if you're still waiting on brake lines I'm guessing it wasn't you haha

Brian MP5T

Nope, plus you would know if it was mine...

Booya!

Changing the brakes means that the original ratio is wrong between the front and rear.

This is an adjustable brake bias controller.

Prolly' one of the most legit builds on the site and it's not even a balt..

Brian MP5T

Thanks Very much...

So I'll add to that a really "Legit" Modification...


My Current ENKI CDR-9 = 24 Lbs @ 18"

The New Work Emotion KAI = 16.1 Lbs @18"

Saves almost 8 Lbs per corner.

- 32 Lbs of Rotating Un-Sprung Mass...

I look forward to hearing that you are once again out there, able to terrorize the general automotive world. As always your work looks so precise and orderly.

If you ever need to buy tires, or need tires installed PM me. We do that at my work in Orleans. We have the nice Italian machines so no rims get nicked lol.


And 16lbs is crazy. lol

Finally new wheels! That will make the car look so much better

Brian MP5T

Looks can be deceiving. I am getting better at at least knowing in advance what parts I need, Still a Gong Show when it comes to putting everything together.

I really try to work on all these little jobs in a One Step at a time. Address what needs to be done first. Come up with a plan, and do it a different way.

MORE!

Can you believe that I spent $130.00 on Wheel nuts..

***K~!

New Rims from my Trip to Toronto. They are WORK Emotion KAI, in a non standard Finish, Semi Gloss Black. They are about 9 Pounds lighter (Each) than the other rims, and the tires are 3 Cm Wider than Standard. Big thanks go to Scott (TO Protege). They need to be rebalanced with the weights in a different location, there is 4mm-6mm of clearance from the caliper to the Rim. LOL The weights will not pass between.

black and white sex!

Brian MP5T

Before Anyone Comments on the Height of the Car. I am letting the car Settle and then will play with the Height settings a bit on Tuesday. These tires are only 1cm Wider, but that 1cm is HUGE.

Brian MP5T

Installed the AEM Ignition Box. Now that this is located, I can start to wire in the Coils.


Still waiting on some AN3 Brake Lines, but the Bias Adjustment is installed.

(Yes I know I can be in the Car)
(No I do not want it in the car, H8TRs)

Brian MP5T

I am leaning towards Option #2

I think it will look better.

Brian MP5T

Found some tape. Will put more on in the morning..

Brian MP5T

So I got some progress on the brakes. The front brakes are finished. The Rear are waiting on the Handbrake, but the remainder of the parts are here.

-AN3 Teflon/Stainless Braid Lines.
-Banjo Fittings
-Compression Fittings
-K-Sport Hydraulic Handbrake



A Comparison of 4 215 Tires vs a 225 Tires

Quite a difference.



With the new Rims being Black, The MP5T is getting a huge face lift.

Silver Decals Removed
Silver Decal Replaced on Friday with a Flat Black one.
Silver Tinting is being replaced with Black.

Thank Christ for Goo Gone.

The MP5T

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-

Today, Nothing too hard, more precise. and the Rims were dropped of to get balanced, so don't bother to ask to see it with the rims.

The car is going BLACK...

They literally took a drawing and made EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Because I have a PS1000 From HALTECH. I literally have 14 Inputs for various things.

I decided to Log the Fuel Pressure twice, at the Regulator and on the Rail. Should be interesting to see if they are the same off and on load. Could be helpful in tuning and managing the fuel.
