Thanks to muibubble I got off my butt and cleaned and re-arranged my garage today. Well that had to do with me getting new furniture for the house.

before and after

Still got some work to do but I have an ongoing project. At least got the engine some what back together where I can start the car now so the engine is done, just got to put the intercooler stuff back in but I'm going to change the spark plugs before I do all that. Should I stick to all 9's?

 

Hang the PR flag sideways over the door area, it will look better.
Nice project.
Post pictures of the duck wing!!!

 

I have a Mazdaspeed banner that will go up there, but don't think I'm going to put it up . Waiting on my new and bigger house to be finished so I can move in. I be extremely happy when I have a 2 car garage

 

Well there might be a change of plans. Just got orders to transfer back to the west coast this summer. Hopefully I will not need a smog test. If not I might have to sell

 

Where are your orders for? I'm going to north island in a few months. I ended up taking the fd back to Nashville to sit in my garage until I move. While i was parked at the lynnhaven mall it got keyed, so I was pretty pissed. anyhow I think I may just keep it registered out of state Until I get it all squared away.

 

I got orders to El Centro. I don't know if the requirements for a base sticker over there are the same as when I was in Point Mugu. In Point Mugu, even if my car was registered out of state, the base still required me to get a smog check. My car will not even be able to pass the visual. I will call tomorrow and find out.

Suck that some *** wipe keyed your car at the mall.

 

love ur 7 bro,those enkeis look perfect on there,anymore pics of wheels/fitment?

 

Not at the moment. As soon as I get the car up and running with some new gear coming and it gets warmer, I will take pictures. There is a chance that I might be changing rims though.

 

yay!! more pics! whered u move your box to? on the top left is that hanging storage?? noice!

 

Oh forgot to post that side of the garage. That box is my tool box.

 

Replacing studs in the AC panel. They were ALL cracked or just gone. Got a few more to add.

 

noice. i have all my interior plastics scattered all over my family room waiting to get the same treatment... did u use the same method by using a vacuum hose around the post? or a different technique?

 

What post?

I didn't have a post (studs) at all. I had to re-fabricate the posts on all my panels. I'm fallowing this thread https://www.rx7club.com/interior-exterior-audio-26/plastic-repair-933799/

Here is how far I'm into it. Just now have to wait till the glue dries so I can trim the studs to the right height.

 

ahhh, so you use plastic tubess.. i see..... the original thread, the guy used a fuel? hose to put over the base of the stud and filled it with the plastaid to create a "post" but your way seems to work as well, how sturdy does it feel?

 

Oh they are sturdy. The first stud I needed to remove it because I put it on the wrong place. Well I had to grind it off, because it was braking the panel but even grinding it was a PITA.

 

Back home from a month out to sea period and already working on the car. Took it easy today and just did a oil and spark plug change. I think I found the issues with my ignition break up...





For the weekend plan is to put the interior back together, change the radiator, front lip, exhaust, rear valance plastic, front cowling cover and fuel filter, rewire the fuel pump and hopefully install a Miata OEM radio.

 

that'll do it.

You navy? what ship?

 

USS George Bush.

 

huh... there's an local guy on a carrier, I should find out which one.

 

Don't like having a gauge pod in the A pillar so I was left with all the holes. Went to the fabric store and got me some new vinyl to wrap my a pillar. Work in progress

and finished. This is the first piece that went back in the car since I took it all apart back in Nov. PROGRESS!!!

 

Cayey tambien.

The a pillar is the OEM one and its made of plastic.
