I sent my extra injectors out for a cleaning to RC Engineering, I should hopefully get them back by the end of this week. I also received an intake gasket set, exhaust gaskets, and a camber cam bolt kit. The Mazda brand output shaft seal should be here today and I plan to have the extra driveshaft worked on this week.

I needed the camber cam bolt kit to help offset the 5% of negative camber that I have on my driver's site front wheel. I assume it is from the leftover of the previous accident.

I'm planning the get the work all done on the car this weekend. I'm really tired of the injectors leaking and flooding the car. I'm also hoping to get the exhaust leak fixed this weekend or next week.

I dropped the drive shaft off at Driveline Services an hour ago. It'll be ready tomorrow afternoon. I picked up the output shaft seal yesterday.

The injectors have shipped and delivered on Friday.

Now I just need to get the work done.

I just got a call from Driveline Services, my other drive shaft is completely shot.

I'm going to need to just work with the one I have in the car right now.

On Friday, I replaced the injectors. The car definitely starts better. I still need to get it tuned right, I'm having a lot of trouble getting it right. If anyone is will to take a look at it, let me know. The injection system is very similar to an S4 RX-7, it is basically Bosch L-jection.

Sunday Dwduc and his friend helped me bend the cat pipe so it lines up right and stops causing an exhaust leak. I still need to replace the studs at the manifold to down pipe with ones that actually fit the car right.

I still need to fix the drive shaft (one I brought in is not fixable) and fix the negative camber on the driver's side.

Pretty good headway Chris. Nice to read.

It looks like I'm going to need to replace the heater control valve. I have the replacement that I installed in my black car (removed it before I scrapped it). I need to remember what I did with it, lol.

I'm going to have to remove the entire dash to do the install. at that point I might as well swap out the carpet too.

The car broke down on me this morning. It turned out to be the trailing ignitor. I'm lucky I have about 8 of them in the garage.

So I guess you'll start carrying them in the car with you? lol

Well the car has hail damage after yesterday's storm. I hear that we may get another.

Sorry to hear. Someone needs to invent a hail proof car cover.
