Hey Paul,

How's your TIG skills?

I've depowered the mazda steering rack for better steering feel, and at some point I need to strip it and get the PAS 'quill' valve thing welded up (the valve that directs the pas fluid above the pinion). It needs someone very good at TIG to do it without warping the shaft - I've got a howto guide somewhere that has some recommendations...

Anything you'd be able to do, or know someone that could - don't think it's more than half an hours work or so?

Cheers

Jon

I dont do the TIG welding, i get a friend to do it, same guy who makes the rb box conversion plates for me, he's really handy with the tig, and dont charge the earth

Have you made an exhaust like yours yet for the s13 or does it still have to be made on the car?

I always prefer to make the exhaust on the car for hte best fit, and no one wants the exact same as the other

Hi Polo, was wondering if you'd be able to source some auto to manual conversion parts for me?
I need:
-Front half of prop
-clutch cover bolts (preferebly new if possible)
-Clutch pedal assembly
-Gearbox bolts (and/or starter bolts?)
-That rubber boot that screws to the inside of the trans tunnel
-S14a speed sensor (your probably the best person to ask hope you've got one left )

-brake pedal assembly?, when people say just cut the brake pedal down im assuming they just mean make it narrower? is that right, in which case i'll do that.

EDIT - metal gasket for between block and gearbox


Parts i already have (incase i've forgotten something):

Gearbox
flywheel + new bolts
Clutch + spigot +release bearing
manual cross member
Gearbox mount
Master cylinder + slave +braided line
Gearstick surround trim
gearstick boot

How much do you reckon that lot will cost posted to NE40 4XL
Thanks alot!
Carl

Reckon you could give a rough price on a couple of jobs?

First adding a flexi section in my downpipe/elbow inplace of the 3 bolt flange, can you supply the flexi part (or at least point me towards a good quality one)?

Secondly, notching the chassis rails for camber arm clearance. I flush mounted the rear subframe and now theres a fair bit of contact something like this is all thats needed-

If you could let me know a ballpark figure for each of those jobs that would be great

Hi Matt,

To mod the chassis your looking at 2.5 hours £100.
For the exhaust, itl be just one hour at £40 if that + the price of the flexi, iv not found any where that sells good flowing 3" flexi's yet, bet you can get them.

[Matt_T]

those sound like some pretty awesome prices

Whats your workload like for the next couple of weeks? Ideally I'd like to get these bits done by mallory on the 14th if thats possible?

How does dropping my car off at yours over this weekend sound, and collecting the weekend after?

Do you do wheel alignment too?

Yea that could work i dont do it no but i can take it to wheels in motion for you to have it done for £100

[Matt_T]

cool, I'll give you a call tomorrow to confirm it all then

Is the WIM price inclusive of adjustments? My local alignment place adds something daft like £5 per adjustment

Hi Polo did you manage to look into those parts i was after, if you cant get all the bits i'll just take the bits you've got.
Another thing i forgot is the metal gasket that goes between the block and gearbox. (i'll add it to the earlier post)

Cheers dude

Hi,

Iv only got the rubber boot, clutch master, gearbox cross member and front half of prop for a manual conversion ATM

[James_S15]

Hi Polo,

I'm not quite at the stage of getting an RB box conversion done for my S15 but it's deffo on the cards for early next year Can you please quote me your cost for getting the whole lot done? I'd obviously drop my car off at your place etc.

When I called Garage-D I was told the following were needed:

RB 5 speed box
Your adaptor plate for S15 bell housing will do nicely
Custom cross member
RB box end prop welded onto S15 diff end prop
Balancing of new prop
Start motor fitment?
Your adaptor for gearstick so it sits in the correct place inside console

Is all that is required above plus labour costs etc?

Cheers,

James

Edit: would you be able to source all the parts needed yourself?
