Turbo Rotary Mazda Minitruck Build

[mymmeryloss]

Ok pretty hungover but imma try and update this.

First thing i did was open up the holes in my grill so the allen head bolts would fit through for my newly machined grill mounts.

I used a piece of 3/4" cold roll and had it turned down in 1" sections and then drilled and tapped. Nothing crazy, but this is all i wanted and couldnt find it anywhere. Luckily there is a machine shop at work!

Mocked up.

Then i pulled the interior apart. I have been wanting to cut out the inner part of the cowl and such to give myself more room to mount stuff and just clean everything up.

After i got a little cutout i couldnt resist drilling a hole and installing my canon connection...

Then cut out the rest of the way.

I didnt take many pics of this but it took forever.

Started making my radiator mount to get the front end complete so i can move on to something else.

And finished

Here we go.

And a random pic of my buddies truck from last night...

Gonna try and do some work today but im hangin bad lol...

I like how you mounted the engine harness so it is actually visible. Most people with Hondas spend ridiculous amounts of money on a harness only to hide it.

Beer pong and flip cup all night homie...

See even us old folk know how to party!

Well once the intake manifold is on it wont be so visible, but i wanted it to be seen.

Nobody else in the minitruck world does what i do with tucked harnesses and canon connections or standalone ems and aem coils and all that fun stuff.

So i want to show it off a bit so people r like wtf is that? And that s**t is cool ya know?

Its like i could have very easily hid my coils and the harness but whats the fun in that? The wiring wiring will be tucked. But thats just the way it should be.

 

[mymmeryloss]

I just purchased a little somethin somethin. Not a floor mount pedal setup, but still cool nonetheless!

I like your idea of showing off stuff in your bay. Tucked bays look nice, but everybody does it now.

 

[TigBitties]

it looks like you cut your firewall up?

Ya i dont see a point in tucking away thousands of dollars in parts...

The bottom portion of the firewall has been cut up like that for a long time.

As soon as the motor comes out it will be fixed.

 

[mymmeryloss]

I hate waiting on parts. Especially when u dont get a tracking number...

 

[Blayze2010]
