Adjusted Freeplay on the new FM clutch this morning. Ugh, the 500 mile break-in period to baby it sucks! Hoping to rack up some miles on it during the Thanksgiving weekend.

Trying to put my racing beat lowering springs and my Koni STR-T shocks on.

Since it was ridiculously warm out, I rolled it out and cleaned the engine bay. Diesel says it will go faster clean. Using his math, I think knocked a full 2 seconds off my 0 - 60. I then rolled it into the garage and got the front up on jacks to begin the coolant reroute and water pump replacement. The engine was too warm to start draining coolant or I would have begun the coolant reroute yesterday. I did make a little more progress ripping out the AC though.

Don't forget to put the bolt back in the block from the pump or it will leak oil. I really need to get the power washer out for the underside of mine.

Last night I rewired my flyback wiring for my MS3X so that my boost control would work again. Check out this before and after nonsense (same exact settings!):

I smashed my knuckle while trying to pop the ball joint out of the knuckle. Whats even worse, is that my hunch was right and I need to replace either control arms or something else is tweaked in my suspension (I guess subframe?).

Sucks bro, good luck finding the cause. There is an 01 total part out on MT. See if he will take off the control arms?

I purchased a lot of goodies off of a dead miata last night. The wife is going to kill me. I got a 3.909 LSD with carrier, all the 01+ chassis stiffening, steering rack for me to depower, and replacement charcoal canister (I busted mine being dumbtarded).
