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..

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..

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.

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

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.

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 ! ]

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
