Oh don't worry, this won't be done for a long time yet. As for the flooring, it's the kitchen of my basement suite. I look forward to your B6T Festiva though!

expose those cam gears and it will look mean - cant wait to see some more build pics

yeah but if you do that you also have a risk of a rock or some thing to fly up into the gears and throw the timing. but it does make them look sweet

Nice, looking forward to seeing the build.

Thanks. I'd love to have them open, and I've been looking at the cam gears at Flyin' Miata, but like hofficergrover mentioned, it'd risk throwing my timing out of whack. Especially since this is going to be Raltiva, and will be made for the gravel, this won't work. I may, however make an easily removeable timing belt cover for it.

Looks like you are doing it up right. The two left mounts in the pic below look stock. I guess the right ones are the special ones ?

Yup. The two on the left are designed to clear the belt and such of the DOHC. I should mention though, the mounts and clutch aren't for Raltiva, but Xiva. Raltiva won't be using the stock tranny, so these mounts won't work.
