i'd agree with dave,
1 clutch = $400 2 cvs = $300 gearbox fuilds (2.5L) = $50 4 hours labour @ $75p/h = $300 |

here's what I got for prices:
Clutch - $330 Mounts - $420 CV's - $300 So you think it would cost 4hrs to fit? 4x$75 = $300 Total - $1350 Ah wells, these things need to be done...

You getting an Exedy Clutch?
Theres one for sale in the FS section, the exedy clutches are cheaper then new ones from mazda. And better While the clutch is out you might wanna get the Flywheel machined too |

I have a 2 1/2 exhaust on my mazda but its an auto, kinda over the sporty sound, take off from the lights and you cant hear anything else but a real loud echoey roar untill i get into 3rd gear or so, didnt expect it to be so loud, really annoying when ur trying to have a conversation haha, doesnt really sound rite with the way the gears change either, like id rev it and itd go into 1st, 3rd, 2nd, and sounds hopeless next to other cars, is there anyway to quieten it or should i go back

i'm assuming you already have a resonator?
you can try a small straight through muffler before the main one, or just get smaller piping and a better muffler/small tip

2.5" is way to big for a 1.8L, you can either get it replaced with a smaller diameter exhaust (2" would be big enough) or as Dave has already mentioned, get a res fitted.

pre-muffler can do wonders, at 2.5 inches you will actually be losing as opposed to gaining anything in terms of performance.

Not getting the rear mount done as per advice from chicaboo... only the front, and both sides (which are the ones that are torn..)

A piece of 2" OD pipe. Put it inbetween the guard and the tyre at the back and push the car forward. As I said though, it wasn't a problem with the 929 'cos I didn't care if it didn't look 100%
