Hi Steve Its the gearbox along with the engine from a 2005 Mazda mx 5, and its a 5 speed manual with a Mazda BP4 engine with VVTI and 120kw @ 6300rpm and 189Nm @ 5000rpm... Yes i was suppose to be finished next weekend, however found a snag or two with the cooloing system which was pointed out by my mentor in engine ecu and rebuildinng...with the modded radiator I actually maanged to get the head of the engine higher than the radiator, which means an airloc and screwed engine, and therefore have to bring a pressurized water bottle into the equation and making that the higheest point for an airbubble to vent to... Very unforseen, and caused me to not be finished, also making a hilux aircleaner fit along with the snorkel...struggled to get a nice decent aircleaner unit which wil fit my mazda engine and lada snorkel, hopefully its the one i got now. The sound system is nothing special, just some mids and small 10" sub pioneer system, I went for the deadening to get a nice quiet long distance cruiser, and keep heat and road noise out.This was my main focus with targa mat!
