Oh, sorry.. ^_^' The M is just to refer to all Mazda's piston powered "sporty"[MX-3/MX-6] and sports cars [MX-5].
Come to think of it, I still haven't figured out why those are called MX-somethings..

 

I should go into the place that Im trying to get a new job at, and ask that.
(service technician at Mazda... lol)

 

Ahh cool! ^_^

Well, just heard from Micah - he's got the pictures... But they're back here in Oregon, in a safe, at his parents' house. [And he's coming back to visit people! ...But not till the end of Nov :P]

If no one's got any pictures of where stuff goes, I guess I'll start shooting in the dark..

 

lol @ tualatin....i used to live in Wilsonville...

 

lol, awesome!

Also: I have friend in Raleigh, NC. Know anyone who rallies a Ford Focus with his Dad?

[...So, no one has a picture of the firewall area with say.. Just the dashboard off?]

 

This is a 10th ae that i had. I hope this helps.

 

Awesome Derek! I'm glad this car is in good hands! How the heck is Micah BTW? Ever talk to him anymore? Good luck with the project!!!

 

GordiniRX7 >> Awesome! Thank you! Exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for ^_^ [Are these full resolution btw?]

Robert >> hehe, Thanks! I'll do my best on it. ^_^ Micah's doing pretty good, I talk to him on occasion. Like I said he's moved to Hawaii and apparently loving it there - lots of wild fruit grows around and he's got an IT job with an oceanographic company.

 

Yeah thats the biggest I have. Those were from like 2 years ago, from a LG EnV camera phone. Sorry. Once I figure out my new car, Ill take bigger pics for you.

 

Ahh okey, Thanks ^_^

I did get to go up to my friend's house and take pictures of his parts cars, but I had to do it with the iPhone.. My nice camera ran out of power after like 4 pictures ^_^' [So more pictures are still appreciated]

**Also**
For fun, here are some pictures of the car when I got it ^_^

 

Hmm... Now where are those little bits and pieces....

 

Wow that's crazy! I wouldnt know where to start...

 

lol.. Exactly, that's part of the reason I didn't get anything done on it till recently...

Since I got it, the sum of what I've done is: cleaned 95% of the floor boards, installed all the Dynamat except in the storage bins, installed the rear hard bumper mounts, set both hard bumpers in place [no idea where the bolts are yet..], put the pass. side wiring harness in place, and found the particle board wire guards.

Up next.. storage bin Dynamat, and finding the fabric pieces that apparently sit on the firewall underneath the air box, heater core, and blower assembly... Then all of those XD

 

Just so you dont feel lonely, I'm in just about the same boat as you. This is my car as of today.



Only difference is, I don't have a big garage to lay everything out it. lol
I wish you luck man.

 

I return! The driver's side interior wiring harness is all snapped in place!

PS still looking for high res pictures of the interior with [basically] only carpet, dash and plastic removed...
Moar soon, I promise! Gotta have it done before summer! ^_-

 

Hi again! Update picts!

 

More!

 

The Dynamat pictures are actually from back in Oct [11th] and the later few [Dash/seatbelts/heatercore] are from April 8th [Apparently I forgot to take pictures after I had laid the driver's side wiring harness :/]

Yesterday I brought the hood home along with the T][ sway bars, diff and half shafts.

blah.. Lots to do still. Anyone have good instructions [pictures] of how to install the seatbelt tracks and sunroof assembly? [and the sizing of tubing for the sunroof.. I think I'm missing it or it's in hiding..]

Also, PM me if you're looking to sell an S5 Turbo Rtek 2.0

Edit: And no, that hood will NOT stay white. I'll probably have it repainted when I have the plastic bits resprayed [the clear is all opaque and hazy ! ]

 

Update time!
Check out the pictures!
[More updates in a day or two - I just got the Turbo hood painted and the paint repaired on the trim and bumpers]

8/4/11

8/4/11
#4

So at this point.. I'm not sure what else I have to do to install the dash.. [Aside from that grounding bolt on the steering column mount]
Help please? ^_^

 

dude i love you. you are an older version of me cause your doing what im doin to my 7 same types of things well your putting more money into it but same concept.

 

Lookin good Derek!!

 

Thanks guys! ^_^
And time for a surprise...
MOAR update! [And more again tomorrow night!]

Just got the Hood/bumpers/trim [well.. Forgot some of it, but have the rest] back from the paint guy and they look awesome! Already bolted the rear bumper back on. [I'll try to get a pict of that in the light]

On the agenda for tomorrow... Sunroof frame, drain tubes, and maybe... A dashboard XD
