Completed my T5 swap and the car won't start. I found a four wire connector that is just hanging out, and I'm assuming it's the connector for the neutral safety switch. There are two black/green wires, one black, and one black/red. Which should I jumper?

You can see how much grinding we had to do, and it barely fit.

Was I supposed to do anything with the pivot point(ball?) inside the bell-housing? Add washers?

Narrow or wide tunnel? I've got an 86.5 with the wide tunnel.

I've got both clevises, and this is an auto to T-5 swap.

I also discovered that our clutch quadrant is missing the spring. Is it redundant or do we definitely need it?

I'm attempting to connect the clutch cable to my newly installed T5, but both the T5 and T9 cables are coming up a few inches short when we feed the cable through the cable stop on the bell housing. Can anyone post pics of how their assembly looks so I can see if I'm missing something?(besides the c...

Took the XR two piece DS and the Mustang one-piece to a driveshaft shop. They wouldn't touch the XR one for some reason(?), but we found a different U-Joint that was 0.5in narrower, which should allow the mustang DS to clear the tunnel without any massaging.

Honestly, I don't think we need that much. I like the sound of "massaging" the floor a lot better than dropping $200-300.

I should probably change the title for this thread to $2014 Challenge build, as the XR obviously didn't make it to the $2013 event. We ended up bringing our "Black n Stan" miata and wound up 7th overall. There was a bit of mix up in the magazine which showed us in 9th place, but it turns o...

Stock Alternator bolted up using a slew of washers. Spun the alternator with my drill and it appears to be charging!! http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm18/pointsracer/Mobile%20Uploads/1724168D-3819-41DF-9D62-835938CBAF73_zpst2yffue6.jpg http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm18/pointsracer/Mobile%2...

I tried bolting up the mustang 2.3L driveshaft that came with my T5 tranny with the adapter attached, but when I attempted to test fit, the U-joint was contacting the tranny tunnel(at the diff) when I attempted to spin it. The driveshaft is probably 3-3.5in in diameter, if I had to guess. The tranny...

Tried every possible orientation. Nothing lined up.

Thanks for the pic. What crossmember mount are you using? This:
