Nice car, I'm guessing that a Prospec cause of the fuel tank? I really like how you cut your rear window out, I'm going have to do that too.

Default rear window cut out

Hey Ducati, its pretty easy. First draw it out on the body itself with a marker. Then, with a Dremel tool, open holes in the corner of each openeng, the trim away the rest with scissors. If you notice, the three bodies have different solutions to the rear window. The latest, my 2nd Mazda 6 seems to be the best- very little rear flex in rear of body.

Default Prospec specs

..oh. No it's not a Prospec, but it is built to Prospec specs. Plus KFactory pullies, Kawahara LF Belts, and titanium screws throughout the car.

Im building an mtx3 prospec and am having a little problem with the clutch. I am following the steps but even without any shims behind the thrust bearing there is no play and the hub is locking against the clutch shoe. I am using a Jp rossi engine and the kit supplied collet. any ideas?

The Mazda looks sweet Ed. I wasn't feeling the Stratus for some reason. Wasn't your traditional "Style" Good luck this weekend. I won't be at the track, going on vacation. But I hear you'll have some more competition this week. See ya.
