Brand new MSM clutch from Rosenthal is $314.66.
Bet you could find it a bit cheaper if you shop around, or if you have access to Mazda Motorsports program.
Part #s:
BP1216410 - pressure plate
BP1216460 - disc
Alternatively, vteckiller2000 will be pulling the clutch out of our old MSM soon. It's got about 30k on it, max. I bet he'd give it to you for cheap.

Small progress. Last pieces needed before install are all the hoses/fittings for oil etc. and my clutch still. My DD broke down so I believe that has zapped my funds for both of those. I guess i'm back in waiting mode.
Spent part of Sunday refinishing my manifold and took a closer look at all my parts.
Used por15 Manifold paint. Says it is good up to 1500F. We will see. I stripped it down taking off any loose rust, used por15 marine clean then metal prep. The metal prep stuff is great, it changes rust, from being rust.

My beautiful downpipe. I also have some exhaust paint coming I plan on using on this thing. I didn't make it. It came as part of a packaged deal. I will use it for a season or so, until I can afford nicer.

Turbo. It is a Chinese version of a gt28. It is also not the pretties, but I don't plan on refinishing it. I hope to replace it and the dp as soon as possible.

QUESTION: Is there anyway to tell if my '95 has the pre-tapped oil feed without taking off parts to see down there? I tried randomly looking yesterday but since I was in work clothes I couldn't dig too much and between the heatshilds and other stuff, I couldn't tell. Do we happen to know a vin range? Mine is an obd1.

Yup.
When i put my 95 block in i had it. But while doing research i found a lot of misinformation. Some say all 95's had it and some say only half or so of them had it..

Just for my future reference, here is what turbo i will be running
Emusa GT28 (GT2870). Here are the more detailed specs. Compressor Wheel 0.60 A/R Cold Side IND: 54mm EX D: 70mm Trim: 60 Turbiner Wheel 0.64 A/R. Waste gate is ~10psi (if it is still the stock one).

Well, to continue my progress of having no idea what i'm doing, I can't figure out what size hoses I have for my oil feed and drain.
For my oil feed, I need to add a 90° end fitting to -4 AN. BUT, I can't figure out my the size of the feed line. I have never messed with hoses, fittings etc so I have no clue about sizing and eyeballing what is what. I know after the first time of holding each one in my hand I would never have another issue, but I don't have access to any other than my unknown lines.
Here is the feed line.

Then for my drain line, I'm not certain if it is -8 or -10. I need to purchase a drain fitting and don't know if I need an adapter or can just plug right on.
