rebuild parts list

Hurley are good but depends what are your plans with the motor, porting and stuff, stick with Mazda OEM side seals, corner seals again stick with Mazda unless you are into Bridge Porting go with Atkins solid corner seals.
What are your plans with the car?

We ran full Mazda seal thoughout in the drag car and steves car, stock seals and corner seals, havent found there limit yet.
The best parts are Mazda, the other o\'ring kits are only made because they can be made cheaper, not better.

Do you remove the plastic inserts on the corner seals Ross on Steves Car? mine got chewed up hence why I went solid corner seals

My plans are just to stay pretty much stock for now apart from de-cat, maybe a set of filters and an Apexi PFC so be be looking somewhere around the 300 ponies mark. What are your thoughts?

BlitzBoy · September 12, 2008, 11:21:30 AM

well in that case defo stay stock with Mazda stuff, defo stay stock with Mazda Apex seals corner seals etc still think Garys gasket kit is still good quality though

Yes just remove the rubber bungs, they dont do a great deal anyway. All stock Mazda 2mm seals in the drag car and steves car etc.

Hi Karl
sorry to hear about your car ,are you planning on making it faster?

I just thought i would have a play with mine and do it my self,tryed selling the car on e-bay but could only get Â£750 for it so thought might as well play about with it and if it still does not work then what the hell just sell it for scrap.

Has any1 got the DVD they can sell me or pass on ?

Thanks for the number Matt ill give Ross at Dragon a ring when i get back from holiday, think i saw 1 of there cars running at totb a few years ago most amazing fd i have ever seen.

So if i get the RotaryArt full block kit
with
Hurley Race Apex Seals/Tips 13b 3mm

then this would only leave me with internal parts like housing and rotors to get if needed ?

oh and oil and sparkplugs ect

Ada7 · September 13, 2008, 11:09:26 AM

Could be wrong but i think you only need 2mm apex seals if your doing a standard rebuild. 3mm are more race spec and you\'ll have to get the rotors machined out to accept them... But i could be wrong

craig · September 13, 2008, 11:32:07 AM

so getting 3mm will not make it any safer then ?

DRAGON · September 13, 2008, 11:39:43 AM

Just run all stock Mazda parts, they work its has simple as that.

Ada7 · September 13, 2008, 11:41:11 AM

Dont think so make. I\'m pretty sure the standard mazda ones are 2mm.
