Well think about it. You said you wanted to keep the red one in its oem glory. Put some clear turn signals on that one. I'll keep the TSI's on the white car since they'll actually be more of a benefit to that car than the red.

Yeah, it sucks having the modding itch. The more I restore this thing, the more I want to do stuff to it. I just need to paint something red right now to make sure I have the right color paint.

Just ordered a buttload of stuff from Rosenthal Mazda.
Your Order Contains:
2 x SEAL, DUST (NA01-34-548)
1 x BOLT (0259-54-292A)
1 x SEAL, PCV (E301-13-338A)
2 x SEAL,DUST-BALL JOINT (H266-28-448)
1 x HOSE,WATER (B61P-15-261A)
1 x HOSE, LOWER WATER (B61P-15-185)
1 x HOSE,VENT (B61P-13-742A)
1 x HOSE,WATER (B61P-13-691A)
1 x HOSE, WATER (B61P-13-682A)
1 x HOSE,WATER (B61P-13-681B)
1 x VALVE,PCV (BP05-13-890)
1 x HOSE,P.C.V. (B61P-13-741)
1 x TRAY, BATTERY (B095-56-032)
1 x VPM,HARDWARE KIT,REA (BWZH-26-49Z-MV)
1 x CLAMP, BATTERY (NA01-56-03XA)
1 x HOSE NO.1,WATER (NA75-61-211)
1 x VPM,HARDWARE KIT,FRN (NAY0-33-29Z-MV)
1 x MUD GUARD RR MIATA (NA75-V3-460G)
I had to throw the mudguards in there. They look good. All I need now is a battery and a new rear caliper and she'll be ready to rock and roll!
A few glamour shots of her current state. I reinstalled the power steering system, soldered in some new wires to replace the old hardened stuff, and finished bolting down all of the wiring harnesses.
And all of this is would be much easier without some damned wildcat smacking all the nuts and bolts onto the ground.

His photos don't do it justice. He should go by the moniker AnalRetentativeDieselMiata. If it had even a mark of rust, it came off and was powder coated or polished. All his pulleys have been polished and look at the time he put into the into manifold and the valve cover.
I'm going to have to bring over our camera and take some good shots in the sunshine when he is done.

I thought so too, but then I priced it up, and it was actually cheaper by a small amount to buy them all individually. They want 86.95 for the set, but individually added to the cart comes to 84.78, go figure. I had some of the hoses already (luckily the most expensive ones) so I didn't need the whole kit. Trying to save pennies for mods to the 95.
