Awesome on the progress minus the exhaust setback. What wheels did you end up going with?

I don’t know what size you can fit. But I think there is a bunch of tires you I can probably give you if you need rubber to do heaters with. I think they are all mounted right now though + all of them are performance rubber but with LS1 power it should not be a issue.
Those wheels look awfully familiar 
I have a 205/50/15 on mine, would like to go wider but because of how low my car sits they would rub. What size tire did you end up going with?
Running a 225.
Paul helped me out again last night.
:snky:
Mazda 3 tows like a champ!
I went over to grab some stuff wed. your car was gone… I stole a paper towel.
I have 225/50/16 X4 and 245/45/17 X4 Don’t know it you can use either. they are pretty spanked and are currently on rims. good for burnouts though. The 225/50/16 are azeni 615’s
edit: I have a truck and tow dolly if you need to move it around FYI
“This”
So this thing is pretty much going to be doing some heaters tomorrow? 
I’d have to get it towed there…
Drivetrains all good to go.
Rad and fans are in (not wired)
I gave it a tow with the Mazda. Got it home, easier to just walk out to the garage.
cant wait to see this
+1 can’t wait to see this run sucks you’re afraid of loud noises
Fuuuu.
Exhaust shipped today. Stoked. It better fit fucking fantastic.
To do list : (Mostly for my own reference)
Replace Tie rods (got new R package ones)
Replace Camber bolts (I have new ones - why not)
Replace steering shaft (Has an extremely tiny amount of play which I find unacceptable)
Wire power to fans (relays are done!)
Finish bleeding cooling system
Mount bottom of radiator and coolant res.
Mount PCM.
Wire reverse lights
Finish speedo/tach/coolant temp wiring
Install exhaust
Fab up an intake and install IAT sensor
Roll fenders and install wheels
Attempt to zero my alignment so I don’t die
Finish hacking the supports out from under the hood.
That’s about everything. Few hours of work.
Install new coilovers when they ship!
Anyone know of a good wire wrap?
Unless you swapped in stockers, the car already has r package tie rod ends.
Awesome progress!
I wasn’t sure of the age of them and one has a torn boot so I’d rather replace them.
I have 30 or 50ft of that nice black loom that Newman used on his car, it’s split down the middle.
Torn boot? Ugh.
They had hardly any miles on them when you bought it Don’t remember exactly but under 3k if I had to guess. Installed them in August '09, new parts from mazdaspeed.
kinda sucks there are only a couple pics in this thread, sound like a bad ass project!
I’m lazy…
