I need to get it MD inspected (easier said than done if you've seen my exhaust) and get an alignment, and it's on the road.

If I didn't have to work those days, and if mine was finished, then I would. I'll probably hit Summit Point before any other tracks once it's ready - I've been there once on my bike and I'm headed back there on Aug 22nd. I haven't got much wheel time and I bought it as a rolling chassis that was partially parted out - I've got to get some miles on it before I trust it not to come apart at speed, and it's not slow so I know it would be pretty painful if anything fell off

Ok I still don't feel any better. There's no power through the harness to the freakin' window switch so they still don't go down
You ever get tired of working on a 'project car' and wishing it was just a 'car'

Pick a day for the car, preferably one where you can maneuver your schedule to be over my way before rush hour. Doesn't matter which day it is, but I'd rather do it during the week - I REALLY need a weekend off.

I'll be done with the hoist as soon as I can get the engine/tranny/engine bay cleaned up, and the engine/tranny back in the van.

Lol whenever man, I don't need it at the moment. I still got shelves for the garage in my driveway. Hell, I still have shelves for my garage in a friend's driveway too. One of these days the car is coming out of the garage and I can organize in there. I feel like I run a junkyard.

Sunroof works fine, mirrors don't work yet either. I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the door harness/body harness connection. That or the wiring inside the body harness.
Took the car on a short cruise tonight. I still have a lot of small issues to take care of (my interior is held on by a hope and a prayer instead of the proper fasteners) but it was a beautiful night to be out driving. I didn't go all that far since who knows what may fall off the car. But I can say there were a few folks surprised to hear the exhaust note this thing puts out. I even made a pass through the local McDonald's where all the kids hang out... you could say the car got some attention

anything other than the interior rattling around?
nothing mechanical?
does the rear still clunk?
no wiring issues, and does the speedo work now?

The motor and trans seem fine. Need to adjust the clutch out because I've been too lazy to do that.
The only gauge that works is the fuel gauge - and it's reading half so I need to check that; I don't remember using that much gas already. The tach reads anywhere from 3k to 8k and the speedo pretty much reads 110 all the time
Need to shorten and clean up all the wiring on the passenger side so someone could actually sit there, solve the window switch problem, install the fender liners.. hell there's a big list of little stuff.
I also figured out why my gauges don't match - some of them are out of an automatic. I kinda doubt Mazda ever used a "P" designation for it's 5-speed cars

this god damned dakota box is pissing me off ... its off the right wire in the harness, the right dipswitch settings, bah ... who the **** knows... well you'll be able to sell the bitch when you get autometer guages
the tach, yeah i must be a ******* retard or something, i have no clue what's wrong with that either
i'll siddle my fat *** under the car when im over next time and check all the junk in the rear...
i have no clue why i'm so determined to finish this car but i'm like "eh" about mine right now ... but im gonna go ahead and blame it on you

Eventually everything will get figured out, now that I can actually start driving it. I took it to Reisterstown and back last night. Pulls a bit since I haven't done the tie rods and alignment yet, but it rides nice and isn't as stiff in the suspension as I expected. Definitely need to re-cover the transmission gap, tons of heat is rolling through there since it's basically open.
I found out I can hit the rev limiter without being able to go full throttle. Ask the supercharged Mustang that I passed on Ritchie hwy last night
In reality we were in traffic, and I only did it because he tried to "rev on me" first when he passed me at the red light. It was still funny seeing his face when he heard my exhaust though
