I want to use the 12mm cone seat lug nut, the longer spindle studs and washers (for the camber adjustments), does anyone have the link to purchase them or p/n would appreciate it greatly.

I'm considering to redrill the drums for the 4x100 lug pattern as well as change to studs, AdvanceDynamics what's the part number on the arp studs that you used.
Few goodies seeking 160hp, anything above would be a bonus

ARP - 100-7719 for the wheel studs. They are specifically for the Miata.
For camber and toe in the rear you'd just use 3/8" or 10mm washers to adjust that. I've never done it that way, but have heard several members have had luck with it. 1 member, I know personally, tows a heavy trailer with a festiva that has had the rear camber adjusted this way. He has had no issues in a year of towing and heavy daily driving.

Question when you add the washers to the spindle stud in the rear doesn't it now makes the thread shorter, so did they just only add the washers or they changed the studs to longer ones?

Just added the washers as far as I know. It doesn't take much. Maybe 2mm at the most.

That sounds sketchy. Just the bottom two, right?

The project is far from dead, and i have some updates:

Firstly i have completed the Ultimate Suspension modd and the car is superb, out handling everything even my friend with his Ultimate suspension on his 2003 BJ Mazda.

Now i'm on to swapping the cable G-Series box i acquired.

As you can see the box is making contact with the chassis leg, i then remember that back in 07 when i first purchase the engine i got the engine without the original bracket on the timing cover side, so i had it made but now checking i noticed that its an inch taller than the original bracket.

The original bracket

So i need back that inch (trying to source the original bracket). Also i taught moving the mount a inch forward was just if you want to improve your handling, but apparently the back of the box is making contact with the steering rack so it seams that the mounting mod is a must, or is it also relating to the same bracket?

I missed this update. Glad to see your still making progress!
Moving the engine forward is necessary to clear the steering rack. The transmission looks like it's in the correct spot side to side. You'll have to clearance the chassis leg a bit so it doesn't rub.
What is that mounting bracket and mount from?
