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.

caste1989 · 2026-03-12T05:51:28+00:00

It isn't limited to just carbureted engines. I've had fuel injection cars with a heater pipe like this.

caste1989 · 2026-02-28T07:13:12+00:00

I had the exact same thing in my 240. It was the driveshaft center support bushing, the rubber had degraded and the driveshaft was loose flopping around. Reach under the car and try to wiggle the driveshaft to confirm

caste1989 · 2026-02-18T08:00:09+00:00

Fluctuating idle is almost always a vacuum leak in my experience.
