    thanks for the advice. I'm going to do one more track day before replacing the seal. I have the supermiata harmonic pulley. I just hope it's not too difficult to remove without the specialty tool from 949racing

    Wow. Your Te37vs look so good on there!

    Glad you're back to enjoying your roadster. What are you doing about seat belt harness for the track day and those seats?

    I still have my spg that i swap over. I could've do the harness mod on the seats but i would rather keep them looking the way it is right now.

    Hi guys!

    It's been a year since I've updated this post. I just wanted to say that the car is still with me. I've been thinking to sell it for the longest time to buy the car i've always wanted but this car has created so much sentimental value that it would be a tough sell. Plus I'm still buying new parts for the car as we speak!

    Here are some photos of the car from earlier this summer. I've done only 1 track day and 1 autox event, and would love to do more but the work life has taken much of my summer.

    Don't sell, that car's a beauty and that's one more AutoX and Track day than you would have done without it!

    Yes please don't sell, such a well executed build! So where did the oil leak turn out to originate from?

    front crank seal from the Boundary Engineering pump. Replaced it with oem mazda seal and it doesn't leak anymore.
