    Hey I'm not sure that it will be more reliable, but pricing up new clutch slave and thrust bearing for the w5x conversion, it was only a little more expensive. And now I have one less moving part I guess

    To be honest it looks a little more fragile that I was expecting, but we'll see how it goes!


    That looks like a more robust option...

    The one I bought or the one I said looks better?

    Here is my project for the weekend, preparing an airbox for my Bigport AFM 4AGZE in the build.

    The airbox itself is from a Mazda 626 late 80's model and the 4AGZE AFM basically bolts on. I was searching for *ages* to find a suitable airbox to cut up before I came across this one.

    Haven't made any more progress on the airbox, but I did move the charcoal canister to make some more room in the bay!

    Is a charcoal canister actually needed? Or just for emissions? I removed mine years ago....?

    Yeah it's legally required, but the weight is neglegable and now its completely out of the way.

    I heard it was a $40,000 fine for messing around with emissions components..
    I guess it depends on the cop on the day as to what's legal and what's not.
