Ahh, makes sense that it would be a M2 IC as well. Is there any way to alleviate the rubbing on the hot side? I admit that i'm too lazy to search for it, haha. The bungee is indeed being used as a tie down and it was gonna be a track car.. haha, i was thinking of switching it out to a slightly larger miata battery and fabricating a battery tray with proper tie down if there isn't some kind of adapter already.

IIRC the M2 medium works with stock battery setup.

My last IC setup was a M2 large and that pipe rubs too. You can try to reposition the piping and IC to lower it, other than that you pretty much have to remake the piping to avoid the rubbing.

Got it! Will try that for the piping. Hmmm, maybe i'll put a stock battery back on it. Had a few instances where the car wouldn't turn over because of the battery and had to charge it back up. Or i can look in to the SBG's lithium battery.. hmm..

Thanks for the info!

So, been quite sometime since i've posted anything here. Over the weekend since weather has been teasing on whether it was going to be good for a Rotors and Boba meet or not, ended up doing some work on the FD.

EDIT:
Pictures didn't post, do'h!

Car is looking amazing. I can't wait to start paint correcting mine as well. White looks the best all shined up

Thanks! Mines got a good cover of dust on it. Haha, looks good in pictures though! Need to find a good powder coater to get some parts powder coated and update this thread again :P

Thank you! It's clean but not used to her potential unlike yours.

On another note, I purchased the both Driver and Passenger side cup holder from @garage alpha and i think I put it in backwards? The more i look at the cup holder, i may have installed the driver side on the passenger side. They don't have it on their website anymore for reference, may have to dig around here to get some reference photos. Also, @garage alpha , would you happen to have any spare bolts that hold the cup holder down? I don't know if i lost it or my package only had one but i'm missing it. Haha

Picked up a pair of Jade seat belt guides for the seat. The Spirit R seats were reupholstered and finding the OEM seat belt clips are impossible to hide. I do have the strap, but unfortunately not clips. Anyways, i got the black with red stitching, i like the idea of the contrast rather than getting the red leather which will definitely be a different red. What you guys think?

Forgot to take pictures from a couple of weekends ago but placed the seat belt protectors on the seats. I'm loving the contrast and glad I did not go with the red leather option.
