Next winter I'm adding boost.

Went back today to make some progress after the clear coat had hardened.. Extended some wires and figured while it was apart I'd bake the lights. It had been on my list of things to do.
http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 Needed to relocate my overflow and my washer fluid so I got a bit creative. For the coolant overflow I ended up using a 2012 Ford Focus power steering tank. The Ford mount was slightly modified and tucked it nicely under the core support. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 For the washer fluid I wasn't about to go without. This isn't an 86 Honda. I decided to use a universal tank from the local parts store. Intended for coolant but it'll work nicely. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 Just needed to find a place to put it and transplant the pump. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 I found a good spot behind the bumper, against the frame rail. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 I extended the pump wires and mounted the tank up. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 I had planned on extending the fuse box harness and tossing it behind my glove box but after removing the mount and re-wraping the harness I was satisfied with how clean it looked. I made a mount out of flat steel I had laying around and ended up trimming off one of the mounting ears. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 The aluminum piece on the front bumper has always been an eye sore.. Oxidized and faded raw aluminum. I scuffed it, hit it with etching primer, then coated it with that durable wheel coating paint. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 The job wrapped up pretty nicely. Next I'll do the drivers side. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 The lights were a much needed touch. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 http://www.miataturbo.net/attachment...ine=1329028329 |
damn dude, everything you touch turns to magic. I love how you did the overflow and washer bottle relocation. The headlamps look awesome powder coated black.

awesome job, Bryan! I'm guessing that old civic hatch of yours was prolly tucked too, eh? |
If I leave my NB with you for the winter, will it look like this come spring?
