seriously. the big difference is the turbo and half dozen random and disconnected vacuum lines still under the hood when I did my emissions inspection.

 

So glad I don't have to smog here. Tweaked the radiator brackets, messed with the Bov location, modded some vacumme tubbing, cleaned up some harness and wired to the new FM fans, reinstalled radiator, wired new radio cause the stock CD player finally died, stared at new COPs trying to figure out how I want to mount them, trimmed Rad ducting, etc.
That's actually the weekend not just today. Still waiting on a few things and need plugs to wire the cops and a bracket.

 

Well yesterday I actually drove my car for the first time in about 2 weeks. Lately I have been bring my work truck home so she has just been sitting and waiting for me to drive. I still love getting behind the wheel of that car and driving around.

 

Got tired of drooping eyeball vents, replaced them with a set of vents from a 3rd gen Mitsubishi Eclipse. Much better airflow and stronger when the passenger side vents are closed.

 

Yeah I am thinking about doing this too seems like since the guy posted it on CR.net all the 3rd gen eclipse vents are all gone off ebay. I wonder why lol. BTW when you did it do yours rotate ?

 

lol There was only the one set on eBay when I looked for them. There is a very simple way to make them rotate, I'll be taking some pictures and getting a small write up together with details.

 

put a new soft top on now trying to sort out this MAP problem so i can tune it an enjoy it for once instead of cussin it

 

Last Thursday I replaced the front outer tie rods with the 94 R package ones. This past Saturday I installed Hawk HP+ brake pads all around on the Miata. I guess my last track day at MSR Houston ate up the rest of the Axxis Ultimates I had on there before. Both are great pads. I'll be removing the Konis this coming Saturday to give to a friend so they can be revalved at Nationals at the end of the month. Once she gets realigned I can take her on the road again.

 

New wastagate/bracket. Old one sucked. Bled radiator. Gave it a twice overit. Drove it and (tried) tuning some more. Still hunting down my boost creep. 8psi can and its getting it up to 11. No pun intended. Can figure it for the life of me. Found an exhaust leak at the Turbo to outletspot. Not bad bit annoying cuz now it all hasto come apart again.

 

Bringin' it back - what did I do? I slipped the clutch. Floored it in 3rd - RPMs shot up, car stayed at 60mph. FM Stage 1 Clutch incoming.
