Not a real update on the build but I had to bump it up. I've just been enjoying the car and doing little things like adjusting the shifter (so I don't get stuck in reverse again), adding a new billet aluminum shift **** that I made, test fitting some upcoming custom fire extinguisher brackets, and driving the car every weekend.


The past two weekends I have gone to races, one being Formula D at Wall and the other 6 hours of the Glen. Watkins Glen had a Mazda corral and a few smaller races going on over the weekend before the main race. Made a few friends and got to talk to some of the Mazda teams as well as get up close with the cars. The weekend put exactly 276 miles on the car with no problems other than the secondary turbo burning oil (which cant be fixed until winter) and the small oil pan leak which was already known. There were also two parade laps around the Glen. We were allowed to go as fast as our lead car could go while keeping up with the pace car. This was my first time on a track and probably this FD's first and it won't be the last. 


Enjoy the pictures.
