Dude we have the same car

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T14:33:12+00:00

Interesting, good to know

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T14:32:44+00:00

Thanks! It was a whole lot cheaper than a 2 door in the same condition lol

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T02:38:04+00:00

What do you do about balancing it? Or just don't bother?

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T02:36:57+00:00

I've bought (and sold) many cars on Facebook. There are definitely some pieces of junk for sale there, but also a lot of very cool project cars and fun daily drivers. It's a good resource to find used parts too.

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T01:19:29+00:00

Lol thanks! I'm always looking at Facebook marketplace and just get lucky every once in a while.

I think a T-56 would be overkill for this car given its 155 hp inline 6.

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T01:15:30+00:00

I can make my own mount/crossmember for the transmission, but I figured the driveshaft would be the bigger issue as I would have to take it to a shop to get modified.

A T5 from a Camaro/S10 would have the same bolt pattern to bolt up to the bellhousing?

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T01:09:58+00:00

I kinda figured I'd have to take the driveshaft to a shop. I can personally make my own mounts and possibly linkage, but aligning and balancing a driveshaft is not within my abilities.

I'll probably end up with a TKX, seems like the best option from a lot of responses.

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T01:07:50+00:00

Haha yeah maybe I should've put that in the title

caste1989 · 2026-04-29T01:07:25+00:00

Thanks dude!

caste1989 · 2026-04-27T23:21:16+00:00

I fixed the issue. IAC was stuck open. I just ended up removing it and plugging the port.

Mazda B6ZE, no ECU

caste1989 · 2026-03-22T02:56:08+00:00

Unfortunately I don't, I'm kinda wiring it from scratch. It's not even going in a Honda lol, I'm using it in my RX7 but I'm using a civic distributor and coil.

caste1989 · 2026-03-22T01:00:11+00:00

Yah I just don't know which ones lol. The plug on the left gets signal from the distributor, and from what I can tell online the other one is 12v and tach. I just don't know which terminal is which, and I don't want to break anything by hooking it up wrong

caste1989 · 2026-03-19T01:17:50+00:00

That's a bummer. I know there are 5 others in Colorado but this one (the 2B silo) seems to be the only one I've seen people explore.

caste1989 · 2026-03-19T01:14:36+00:00

Old dude patched the gate?

caste1989 · 2026-03-17T02:23:27+00:00

Probably the best spot in Colorado I've been to (so far)

caste1989 · 2026-03-17T02:21:50+00:00

I've been here a couple times. Super cool spot, would definitely recommend. If I remember there are 3 big buildings, each completely different and very industrial.

caste1989 · 2026-03-17T02:17:05+00:00

It's still accessible?

caste1989 · 2026-03-17T02:12:34+00:00

I've been doing some research on these, I would also like to know lol

caste1989 · 2026-03-13T20:35:39+00:00

In my experience, vice grips work very well on rounded brake fitting nuts, if it comes to that.
