I heard it, people speak about it, but I haven\'t seen it and it\'s only ~20km from my home, shame on me... Before leaving LTU i want to meet you

Thinking about some motivation to myself.... now it is cold outside and mazda is sitting in garage. but some job still can be done...
also there are some new pics of my car from old car meeting in autumn.
so enjoy....
my future plans : adjustable coils, adjustable top mounts, lowered rear leafs, LSD, new brakes on front to clear epsilon mesh wheels. and probably rotary engine. damn i want rotary engine.

Looking good bro!

Did you mount it so far to the front so you could use the stock fc engine mounts?

[apex_lt]

Firstly was planing to use fc mid plate mounting, but didn\'t liked possition of engine -you can see in picture with white g-box and unpainted engine. It was moved to front to clear space for fc sump. By the way my suspension is 1977 - engine crossmember is bigger than <1976 s1,s2. Later I ordered early 13b/12a front cover and 13b sump, rx4 engine crossmember. Now i\'m happy with original look.
