[bomdoutscort]

That motor looks good in there. YOu should have repainted that engine bay before you put the motor in just like the mx3

[drewhall07]

Does look good. Always been a fan of the 2nd gen/miata valve cover

Tight squeeze for that oil line huh?

Looks great man! Glad to see you got most everything worked out. The electrical issue is probably a wire shorting out somewhere, or part of a wire is caught in something and rubbed through the insulatoin and is now shorting out. I'd assume it to be one of those scenarios. Make sure all the harnesses are loomed, and exposed parts taped up securely under the looms.

So got a lil work done to the EGT. Fixed the radiator, took the supports out, let it sit on the trans brace and ziptied it so now I have like 2 inchs from the water line. So no more holes in the radiator. Lol. Also put the rear part of the ES kit in. Got the lowering springs mounted to the struts. Gonna finish the ES kit and put the springs on this week. And also mount the tires and get the exhaust welded up.

And I went to the JY this mornin and wat do ya kno. Found 3 EGTs. Only one had a good front bumper so I snatched it. Also the fog lightes where good so I stopped by the parts store on the way home n picked up sum hyperwhite bulbs for em. The bumper is red, but gonna sand it down n put primer and mayb sand the car down also and primer it so it'll all b one color. Lol. Ill upload pics once I get to a pc.

nice!!! blues and intrax springs?

[bomdoutscort]

Nice snag on the bumper. If i were you i'd leave the whole car the way it its and keep the bumpers black. once you go primer you don't come back and your car will just look like rice until you decide it needs to be painted. And thats if you decide to paint.

[drewhall07]

Tokico blues and Canuck lowering springs

[jinx]

Get that thing back on the road already

[drewhall07]

ok, well ive been driving the car around for a whole. havent done much to the body lately, but i did but the GT bumper on that i got from the JY, and also got the exhaust welded up. and i had a lil photoshoot lastnite. lemme kno what u guys think so far. ill take more pics once i finish the bushin kit and lower, and put the new rims/tires on.

Looks good. I hope you dont decide to primer the whole car. Other than the ic needing to be higher and the fogs needing to be updated with a newer style it just needs a drop.

[drewhall07]

nah im not gonna primer the car, but i am gonna resand the bumpers and sides, and repaint them till i can figure out what color i wanna get the car painted. and i alrdy got the stuff for the drop, just wanna finish the bushing kit before i do. and have the money for an alignment also..lol and i like the stock fogs, but i need to refinish them so they are brighter.
