Re: Some NEW PICS!!!
 
I've been looking for something like this, where did you find yours? What did you pay for it?

Samps 05-07-02 09:50 AM

They sell them in the back of road and track mag and car and driver. I paid $700, and then they went on sale two weeks later for $480 I think. Just look through the back pages of one of those magazines and look for "Cover-IT Garages." They sell domed style tops and peak style tops. I think the peak like mine is best for areas that see alot of snow. There are six, 3 foot long, anchors that screw into the ground like telephone pole anchors to hold it still. The poles that hold the door up are custom made by me. They are black galvanized steel and are seated within a 1 inch wide 3 foot long PVC pipe in the ground so I can lift the poles easily out of the ground. It makes life so much easier on the car. No hot sun, no rain, no bugs, no snow, and no unwanted eyes. It's kinda like my own lil RX-7 world. If you can't have a real garage this is the next best thing.

And that is the front corner of my daily driver 95' 626; in case you were wondering.

Samps you pimp! That's real nice :)
How do you like that Mazdatrix strut bar?

The blue interior doesn't look half bad and I really don't like the red and blue interiors, but the seats are aging, oh well, good reason for new leather or new seats if ya need em :)
Nice car.

Samps 05-07-02 10:16 AM

I love the stut bar, well worth the extra money. And the seats are aging, but they are just sooooo damn comfortable. I would have loved to get a black interior but hey, when you see a good solid car in nice shape, you can't be too picky.

dang samps that egine bay is clean do you have a mock-up or dimentions for that cold air box? if you do pm me i'll be glad to hook you up :wink: oh and dude NICE paint did you have it repainted recently? any who great job man!

edit:where did i learn how to spell?

Node 05-07-02 10:27 AM

heh, spelling errors are always fun
But Samps, too bad all those problems came up with the leather seat cover thread, have you seen that thread yet? That might be a place to get some affordable leather seat covers

Samps 05-07-02 10:33 AM

The paint is original except for the parts replaced when I decided to go deer hunting in my car. I did see and post in the thread about the seat covers, and I would rather have ass skinned seats before I give a no-good vendor any of my money. The air-box project will come out some time in the near future, untill then either study the pics and try yourself, or wait patiently until I get my lazy ass motivated. There are a few other pics of the box in my other PICS thread. Search for "Here is my pics," bad grammar but who cares!

Did you get the engine torque brace bar as well ?

Samps 05-07-02 02:55 PM

The engine torque brace is attached to the strut bar. It is that white plate right in the middle that attaches to the air pump bolts. It has some lil rubber bushings and is fully adjustable. You can see it in the head on pic of the engine bay.

vaughnc 05-07-02 03:54 PM

Oh yeah :) I haven't seen that design before.

Usually it braces agains the passengers side strut tower, but that one's integrated.

Very nice.
