3d printer, I like. I might be interested in a M50 TPS adapter thing if you decide to make a few extra. -
Well i finally got the car running, kind of. Seems that either the TOB or pilot bearing did not seat properly and i'm getting a horrible screech sometimes. Also my TPS took a dump so i'm forced to scrounge around for a working m50 one. So far the one i picked up does not feel that great. I'll plug it in and hope for the best. Just need to finish printing my adapter plate.

Version 1.0 was off by .75mm so i'm printing 1.1 as the final part in black ABS

Installed my new brakes today. They are IE's 310mm 6 piston wilwood based kit. My kit came with the cross drilled rotors and bp20 pads. This car should see more track time then before so it was a needed upgrade. The clearance on these are amazing. To run the style 5s with the RX-7 bases kit i'd need 22mm spacers. With the wilwood kit i only need about 4mm. I'm going to get some 5mm hubcentric spacers made so i can have a little wiggle room. The way the pads load up is awesome. Brake pad changes take a minute. No tools required.

Looks like u would be better off with jb weld
So today i got my TCD schtuff. I was happy and disappointed at the same time. Being TCD i expected great quality. What i got was something that looked like it was take your kid to work day and they let some 10 year old weld it together. Perhaps it was a second quality rejected part that someone took and sold anyway. I don't know what the back story as i bought it off someone else. For all I know its a TCD knock off. Spent a couple hours grinding off ceramic coating and re welding everything. I suck at welding but i did a better job.
