    Started to re-assemble my motor. Got the oil pickup tube on, baffle tray, and oil pan. Flipped it over to do the water pump and realized they sent the wrong pump. This time I'm going to order one from Mazda not advance auto parts. So I decided to work on my seats and got them all mounted. They look fairly nice but I need to shorten the wire that goes between the two adjustable rails.

    I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

      went and pulled the remaining parts for the ZX2's rear disk conversion yesterday (rear spindle/ttl combo), and I've just been working on dis-assembly, then get to install the new TTL bushings that'v been sitting around since '05 lol, I'm probably not getting the spindle bolt out, but I should be able to get the sway bar TTL off as it's only held on with a nut/washer. The other bushings look ok too which is nice, so I don't feel sketchy not changing them out.

      Hopefully later today I get to do an oil change, and see if that tiny exhaust leak between the pre and post o2 is back...damn CEL is on again lol.

            Broke another fuxking axle. I'm so fed up with this... But I guess it's better than the tranny.

              You should probably just start carrying spare axles in the trunk

                  Maybe try stronger axles? http://www.zxtuner.com/product.sc?pr...&categoryId=19

                  Expensive, but it might solve your issue.

                    You need to adjust your driving habit. I'm making more power than you, and I don't brake axles, and I'm on slicks. Or you need to buck up and go to the Kia 28 spline axles which are thicker.

                        Yeah, I'm well aware I'm not a pro at driving which is why I went to the middle of nowhere to tool around to try and improve my driving.

                            How to not break axles, the atomic way: use questionable junkyard **** and a huge turbo.
