By 4 in the afternoon we had everything ready for the block's final build up, so we decided to go and freshs'en up for the long night ahead of us.
At around 9 we we're back at Jeroentje's and ready to begin.
The build up was going quite smootly until we had to Torque the screws down. we had to spend over an hour converting the settings from the Mazda Manual to the settings on our Torque wrench!! but once that was done everything fitted like a glove......

Getting the Timing belt right was a bit of a pain in the ass (now I know why Mazda dealers charge so much) but after a couple tries and a couple of....count to 10....it all just dropped right into place...

By 8 in the morning we we're completely finnished, Bart and I we're Redbull overdossed and dreaming of our beds.....Its not been the fastest build up, but being a fuzzy B***ard I like everything perfect.
All that had to be done now was just a few shots with the cam...

A Mega thanks to Bart...it was a long night Bro...hahahha
and of course to Jeroen, without you this would not be possible.
Next week we will put the gearbox on the block and drop everything back in the chassis. We have to get the car running N/A before we can hook up the Turbo in order for the MapECU to go into Learning mode and create base maps for the system.
