hehe - might have some more pictures tonight
Also got notification that the flywheel is on its way back from JBR good as new. And the pressure plate is on its way back from Fort Wayne Clutch with an extra strap added at each point and some nice tight rivets. The guy there commented that it looked like poor work from the factorybut it's all better than new now!

Let me know if you want to get rid of the rx7 kit!
Hmm, nothing better than reinforcing a proven part! Then you're basically guaranteed reliability.

Regarding the PP, I sure hope so. Every component of the clutch system will be brand new now and "correct". If something goes wrong again I'll have a serious shit fit.

Brackets arrived from massive. They are very nice pieces.
Test fitted to see how they'll look and determine a wheel spacer. They will only need a 5mm spacer plus the special 1.5mm spacer to makeup the brake disc hat thickness. I was very happy to figure this out. I'll easily be able to fit the wheels/tires under the stock fenders. Might become a little tight when I switch to a 225 though.
Mr iwantspeed donated an ABS unit to the cause since mine got beat up in the accident (and it wasn't working anyway - not sure why - never tried to fix it). Thanks again Alex!!
I decided I wanted to keep ABS, but not in the original location, especially with all the work I'm doing in the bay. It'll also make room for a proper airbox.
Starting with brackets.
Target location under the driver side front, behind the foglight.
Initial mock-up
Added a bracket around the cups and rubber mounts to keep it locked in place once it's mounted. Made a mental note to modify the arms that were blocking the bottom outputs, and then immediately forgot.
Tacked in place
It's tight in there but it fit with space where it counts around all the inputs/outputs. It should be reasonably easy enough to bend and hook up the brake lines with the valence and the fender liner off.
Here it is in it's final place. Luckily I caught/remembered the modification needed to the bracket where it covered the inputs. The whole thing is very stiff.
That was a big item to check off the list. Took me an entire day, much longer than I thought it would.
