        nah, not a big fan of them to be honest lol this is my favorite grill out there other than that front bumper with the built in grill, not sure on the details with that though.

                  Got a **** ton of updates lol, some small some large...start small first

                  this drove me nuts lol, both were broken, one was actually missing other than a few pieces around the screws.





                  Decided to inspect the a/c system lol...



                  Then finally had time to hook up the oil pressure gauge and lights...I couldn't find the 2nd VDO light socket so I tapped an Autometer one in place lol...just found the VDO piece last night so that'll be changed!



                  Cold start obviously lol but she's working just fine!



                  Oil pressure warm at 1k is 20-21psi, at 3k I was around 47-48 I believe, all safely within spec

                  Also scored this at a wreckers, going to have it painted and installed shortly!



                  New tail lights! They're the 88/89 style with the amber reflectors removed. Got them along with an MX6 GT front & rear sway bar and tie bar...but those need work so I'll snap pics when they're done lol.



                  Also along with that front bumper I got these mud flaps lol



                  Also can't forget the Eibachs! I installed them with new KYB struts, bump stops/dust boots, Mevotech strut mounts and went to Mazda for the spring isolators, all topped off with Eibach camber bolts lol.



                  This was snapped about 2 days ago, I ended up not running isolators up front and installing them in the back to level the car out a bit. I also ran into the front bump stops being about 2" too long (car was literally sitting on them LOL) and I'm still running into strut mount binding issues...thinking it's due to there only being a small amount of grease in the bearings? idk either way it's pissing me off lol.

                    Lots of excitement here eh lol

                    Well here's the big surprise lol





                    BAM! TURBO! lol got a bunch of goodies from a 626 GT



                    Separated the turbo off the manifold



                    Inspecting the turbo thoroughly and it checks out great!



                    So that's when it all got crazy lol











                    Going to pick up the rest of the parts I need soon and then I drop the pan for the oil return.
