and i took it out for a quick ride around the block. its got a pretty bad vibration coming from what feels like the front left. im hoping its a shot wheel bearing.
but i did give it a little juice. 1st is useless, granny shifted and spun again. feels soo good. lol
congrats!!!
wait... did u put that bracket in then drive?
yes...that was the last part i was waiting for. it came in today. lol

i think that i might have figured out the vibration problem. i thought it was my wheel bearing but i asked around on another forum and i think it could be my axle binding up.
for those of you who dont remember this is what it looks like. squished.

i bought a kia sephia 1.8L BP axle off the forums. this axle is about an inch shorter but it supposed to have the same splines on both ends. an inch might not sound like much but could be all the difference! hopefully it fixes the problem! :goodjob:
Raising it up doesn't help any? Thought you had ordered specially made axles?
not yet. im going to get it running with these "temporary axles" first. then i can drive it while i save up for a nice set. for it to work it would probably have to be higher than stock height and thats not going to happen. lol

well i will definitely let you guys know if it works out or not. if it still does it i probably have a shot wheel bearing.
Why don't you just jack up the car, lock the steering wheel and see is the wheel moves left and right?
im sure the bearings have seen better days, but as bad as it shakes, it has to be more than just the wheel bearings. they do have some side to side movement.
kick ass bracket.
woot! it works! no more vibration whatsoever. BUT, i have another issue. i was just driving after a little first gear fun when all of the sudden it started to miss. not to bad but when its under load i can hear/feel it. i immediately shut it off and coasted into my driveway. pulled the plugs and this is what i found. every single cylinder looks lean.

i really need to get the CEL hooked up so i know what codes im throwing. im thinking a bigger fuel pump might be in my future.
i just hope i didnt do any major damage. what do you think IA?
Distributor! CHECK IT!
wow, number 6 wire was definitely just chilling on the trans. :doh:
so ive been breaking it in all day and so far no problems. been driving slow to let everything seal up. finally :goodjob:
Win! Congrats again!Quote:

things left to do:
-CEL
-VC leak
-axle seal (could possibly be from a kia axle being in a mazda trans)
-alignment, possibly wheel bearings
-insurance. lol
Congrats bro. Very nice set up you got now....Quote:
