What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[atomicEGT]

Nice! Glad to see that thing went to a good home.

[Mazda_Powered]

Put brake fluid in it, apparently the reservoir seals are leaking, so that'll get replaced soon...hoping to put insurance on it in a few weeks since the 626 will get an overhaul soon...new brakes, struts/springs/mounts, body work/paint and pick up the F2T conversion stuff, won't go on this season tho.

[atomicEGT]

holla if you want a nice F2T manifold- it's a stock one modded for an external 38mm and a T3

Since the last time I've posted.

-Replaced speed sensor line
Pain in the ass, speedometer doesn't have a seizure at certain speeds like it has for the past 2 years. Worth the $100.

Replaced O2 sensor
Even with an O2 socket stripped it removing it, took forever to clean the threads to get new one in. Broke one of my down pipe studs. Gas mileage out the ass.

Water temp switch debacle
Car has been throwing code 9 every now and then. For some reason I though the thermostat one wire sensor was the ECU one, So i go to test that and snap it in half. Replace it with good spare from Miata. Doesn't fix cel. Closes at operating temperature, consult FSM. I'm dumb,it's the two wire green plug. It seems to have an intermittent open. On order now. Radiator fan doesn't turn on anymore unless I use the a/c. This is my life.

Headliner
With the manual belts I needed to add some material to the headliner to cover the gap, and since my headliner was broken in two I'm basically fiberglass the entire thing before I recover it. I'm about half way done and it's been rather trying after not doing it for half a decade and having no proper work space. I need to be done with it by may as I may be going to guam. **** my life.

belt squeal
I had my power steering/ac belt adjustment jerry-rigged for the last 2 years. I finally got the necessary bracket to adjust it proper and now I can't get the proper adjustment. Something must be bent, I'm going to have to take a look at it and replace the belt(again) because the one on there is probably never going to not sound like a banshee.

Front main
Still leaking.

I decided to dip the wheels on my mx3 over the weekend. They're Blaze Pink, but my phone won't pick it up.

[FE3-323]

Finished up a BP swap in my buddies 323.
taking a break before going back to crank it over for the first time

[atomicEGT]

that MX3 is pretty alright.

half-assed the toe on the ZX2 and put the newer headlights back in finally. definitely like 6000K better than 8000K, but the light pattern kinda sucks. oh well.

[bogaut]

you need projector retrofit in your life

[atomicEGT]

I'm way too lazy to do that ****, don't wanna deal with ZX2 nerds to get a set either.

honestly I'm done spending money on non-maintenance stuff, gonna drive it til it rots apart and then buy a 3 I think.

Yeah, sorry- it's just like any other group of car dorks, there's a handful of dudes that know their **** and everyone else sucks.

I finally got a pic of the Blaze Blue side. It's much more photogenic than the Blaze Pink (it always looks red in pictures).



The best pic I could get of the pink:

[FE3-323]

interesting.... why the color clash from side to side? altho i do like it

[redheddude222]

I just felt like doing something different. Eventually, I plan on peeling this off and doing a white base coat, then probably sticking with the Blaze Pink all around.
