  1. Been AWOL for awhile on other projects. I have the 2JZGTE w/Auto in my 89 Conquest Automatic body. Fit very nicely. I am not finished.... wonder if I will ever make it. But it fits fine. Need to sort out the shifter and the damned wiring...
  2. LOL... I can't post a picture... I don't have the rod! The rod I'm looking for is about 2 foot long... attaches to the transmission on one end and the bell crank for the shifter on the other. If that is what you have I'm interested.
  3. Looking for a shift rod from an automatic trans. Just the rod... don't need shifter or any of the other parts.
  4. I will have to take you up on that. But we can't go flying down the road before or after I eat! My stomach won't be able to handle the strain! : )
  5. I need to do a shout out to both Serp and VetteKlr. I had a chance to see both their rides while on a business trip last week. Talk about some sweet engineering! Serp took me for a ride in his sled... and the term... HOLY SHEEEEEEEEIT! doesn't even do it justice. The car is flat out a BEAST! Talk about getting out of town in a hurry.... Serp.. thanks much... hope there were no stains on the upholstery! The paintjob on Vette's car is super! I had to ask him who his "tailor" was! LOL Supposedly the guy who did the paint won't do another one at that price. If he would... I'd ship mine from Arizona to Maryland to have him do it! So... much thanks to both of you. I got a lot of good tips and with a little luck maybe I'll get mine finished this year.
  6. Are you still on the OEM rear end and 1/2 shafts?
  7. With the same front rim specs you have and a 245/45/17 tire... the 25MM pushed my tire almost beyond the fender lip. I think with a 30mm you are really going to be out there.
  8. And the Mazdas have the same 5 x 4.5" lug pattern?
  9. Do you have a ready source for the spacers?
  10. In your example, I'm thinking you have it right. You would be adding the 1" on both sides. To do it any other way would alter the offset. The problem I found my my quest is the original wheels didn't have the same offset. So my +24 rims w/ a 1" spacer could use just a taste more spacer in the rear and less spacer in the front. Right now my front wheels are extending our of the wheel wells (a look I hate.
  11. In the Starion the loom went from the passenger ( car's right hand side ) out to the right front, across the radiator support bracket, around behind the battery in the car's left front corner and then over to the engine. That might explain why you have 4' of extra loom. Perhaps you can mount the computer in the trunk! LOL
  12. With the white Cobra R's ... what size tire did you have? Ive got 17 x 9 OEM Cobra R's +24 and I don't think I can get by with much less than 12mm spacer.
  13. Slow progress but progress none the less. Took the drive shaft to a machine shop so they could drill the rear end extension shaft to match. Only downside is they separated the driveshaft at the slip joint to do their work and gave me the drive shaft back in two parts. Not that slipping it back together is any problem, however, I am wondering, since they didn't index the shaft, if the balance is now off. More to follow on that. Got the extension shaft housing and the driveshaft into the car. Forgot to take pictures of the shaft and the setup underneath. (sigh) I'll be back under there in the near term anyway so I will get some pictures. But it all went in nicely with no interference. Looks like I might be able to easily fab up the factory shift linkage as well. (fingers crossed) Decided to put the Cobra Rs on it. 17x9 with a 24mm offset. I am using a 25mm spacer all around. Thinking I can get by with a 20mm spacer in the front. The front rims set out just a little more than I would like and I have room inside. Looking for a source for the 20mm spacer. Here is a pic I snapped after the work today. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd268/Soup756/MemorialDay11001.jpg
  14. Well... some more slow progress. Got the driveshaft and spacer from Driftmotion. I needed to have some machining done on this end to match the driveshaft flange to the input flange for the rear end. So I pulled off the extension shaft/housing, cleaned and painted it, and have it out to the machine shop. Also the spacer center hole wasn't large enough to work on the output flange of the transmission. Again, getting that machined now as well. Should have all the part back by this weekend and will take some pictures. If all goes well I will have the engine and rear end all tied together. Then it is time to tackle that damned wiring maze! UGH
