_FNQ_rolla_ Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 W58 :unsure: That Bellhousing has no webbing for extra strength What type of bell housing is that, who makes them? (I know that it’s a 4AGE to W5*) Does that bellhousing slightly tilt the box over to one side? (I have read some of the 4AGE to W5* do) All the best Quote
HIGH ROLLER Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 As far as I know it doesnt tilt the box. the bellhousing is from a guy who makes them in the phillipines. I was at a mates garage last night, he has a dellows hiousing for Mazda3>W58…that didn't have any ribbing either... Quote
Timofee Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Hahaha mate i am jealous of your car.

Your ride looks prettttttty f@$king sweet.. cannot wait to see it completed :) Quote
HIGH ROLLER Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks dude! my engine & Gearbox mounts were made by Shanon @ Simply Maz, but the fabrication after that is all taken care of by my best mate Adam, who's a fabricator by trade. Just sorting out new bolts for the engine mounts & should have the motor back in this weekend. Quote
HIGH ROLLER Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Posted August 22, 2011 My missus helping me out to put the engine back in… Done. Quote

HIGH ROLLER Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Posted September 24, 2011 Got some work done on the car today; Pedal box frame/support is all welded up, and tacked into the car ready to be welded to the firewall… 2 more support bars will be welded in to support the steering column. I'll let the pics do the talking… Thanks again to Adam (MLT323) for the fabrication work. Quote

HIGH ROLLER Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Posted September 24, 2011 The bandsaw was around $572 from Hare & Forbes…The blade it comes with was rooted within an hour, so buy some extra blades…haha Quote
SLO-030 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 Sweet! Any more progress planned for today? Quote
StasIII Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 i think i couple drops just came out ! :yes: Quote
HIGH ROLLER Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Posted September 25, 2011 haha Stasi, hurry up and take your motor back...just chuck it in!! Progress is confined to weekends, and considering I'll be away for 2 weeks from this friday, there probably won't be any more progress for a month or so. Next is getting stuck into the brake hard lines, then my hoppers kit for the front end. Quote
