Nothing yet, but I'm about to drive it :)
The biggest plan is to replace it as a daily driver with a 2001 Miata. Having two, two seat sports car is just as practical as having one four seat car, right guys? |
Wiped the coolant off the crossmember (seen in photo above) because it bugged me.
Showed my best pal what was in process around 1am, standing around in the garage, drinking a beer, staring at my car up in the air. Life is good. :) This morning, I started making a list of what I intend to accomplish. Got a buddy stopping by tonight, so we might get something knocked off that list. This thread is going to be a great motivator to me. lol... |

as the owner of 2 two seat convertibles, i endorse that statement!
As for the fb, technically I didn't to anything to it but I've got almost a page full or goodies prices out and ready to order. |
I finished making an exhaust for the fb so I can run and tune the car without the neighbors calling the police on me...header duel pipes all the way back to a prima flow...they didn't say it had to be quiet...just QUIETER! LOL

I bought paint! S3 Chateau Silver.....

I pulled the front swaybar/tension rod/tension rod mount assembly this evening, mostly just so I could stop in and say I did something. :) But I'm actually heading right back out there for some honest work (if the wife doesn't waylay me).
Why do I get a good feeling whenever I stop by this thread? It's like walking into a bar full of your buddies, all discussing your favorite topic. Only, without the beer, or anyone actually being there. lol. Oh, and I finally recognize that sound I keep hearing in here! It's the sound of creaking joints all us old farts getting our asses off the couch and doing something for a change! :) . |

I thought about it, while I sat on a plane all day.
|
Okay, I went back out and pulled the header panel, the right front fender, and I removed the efans from the radiator and test fitted them on the new one.
Off to bed now.... |
I installed my new Braille battery. Battery weight went from almost 40 lbs to 17 lbs.!!!!!WoooHooooo!!

Finally got around to stripping my interior on my fb, pulled the storage bins and carpet/sound proofing, tomorrow's the storage bin framing and the door panels and interior trim, even found a brand new clutch master cylinder left by a previous owner under the carpet next to the taillight!

Score! Didn't do it today, but earlier this week I dropped off some materials and some cash to a local gal. I'm getting a new shifter boot, ebrake boot, center console lid and the vinyl stamped 'wheel well' covers redone in brown/black to match my rx8 seats. Also placed an order for one of these bad boys... Minus the black in the lettering.
|
I went and looked at it sit in the garage waiting to be built lol. Decided i'll be going with no blowoff valve this build lol.
|
I ported some rotor housings and filled some ACV ports with quicksteel. Fun times were had by me.
|

http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/...batterypic.jpg I'm adding this to my list of things to do, to make up for the increased front end weight of the 3 row rad (more fluid weight, even though aluminum), triangulated strut brace, and new air dam. |

http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/...batterypic.jpg when we met at B3R but maybe I missed those. Hmmm, braille battery huh? I wonder ........ Been thinking about reinstalling the AC and putting a hogged out nikki on just for fun. We'll see. I hope I see some of you guys at DGRR (1st timer here) or the Mitty. |
I got discouraged today....went to see the guy that is going to reupholster my drivers side LE seat...the "matching" fabric we picked out doesnt match, and its the closest he can find. Now i am looking at having to change the look of my seats to accomodate this hiccup...bad thing is my Passenger seat is perfect...and now i cant use the factory cover cause i cant match it...guess i am gonna have to get a set of covers from RacingBeat and use them...I'm BUMMED......
