Keeps getting better and better with each new post! Can't wait to see the finished product :thumbright:

After 4 hours he still couldnt get it all out. Shouldn't have sanded it with 600 need to find some 1000 grit or higher and wet sand it again.

need to start with 1000, then 1200, then 1500, then 2000, then buff.

Fabbed a brace to keep the hood from flopping




lower rad hose


intercooler pipe hits the tire at full right lock

looking good as allways that sucks about the IC piping are you gonna fix it or just leave it? lol...

[shorestiva]

Theres no brake rotors on now so the wheels are in further than they will be. Im hoping once I get them on and if I pull the pipe up further itll clear.

nice progress man. Those hubs going to work out for you?

[shorestiva]

Going to press them out tomorrow and see if they fit.


Also hard drive came for my laptop today so I should be able to try starting it when the plug wires come in.

sweet looking good are those miata wheels?

[anomoly40]

Good idea on the lower radiator hose. How far away is it from the hot side of the turbo?

[shorestiva]

94-97 miata wheels

I think its half inch or a inch away from the turbo.

Holy purple spraybomb! Looks like something I'd do. I don't know why but I'm a fan of brightly colored contrasting wheels. Looks like you're getting close...

[freshtiva]

IMO.... no. Im old though, It could be cool.
