Thanks 93PGTate.
Been working on the 326 here and there. I have enough pics for an update!
I took care of my sunroof....um issue. LOL
I put the carpet back in and cleaned it.
I put the seats in. I added ARP stainless steel studs (ment for V8 carburetor mounting) to bolt them directly to the floor. I slightly enlarged the factory access holes in the front floor support bar, so I could swing a gear wrench in there. I used the universal seat mounts to anchor the rear of the seats to the floor.
The covers for the seats arrived just in time to install the seats. (I though they would take a month or so, but they took just a few days to come in)
The seats bolted in. I used huge button head allen bolts and massive washers to anchor the rear seat bracket. If they pull through a huge hunk of floor is coming with them. LOL
The seats are actually quite comfy.
I installed most of the interior panels. I need to find the bracket that hold the trim panels that cover the ECM still.
I changed the oil and transmission fluid to Royal purple.
I filled the car with fresh 94 octane gas and I have been driving it around. The power and the handling are impressive. It is very Go cart-ish. I have polished off the install of the nitrous kit, but have not had the Cojones to try it....yet. I am taking it for a Wheel alignment tomorrow. surprisingly it actually drives pretty straight. (no effort was made on my part to adjust anything when I stuffed all the new suspension parts on it). The clutch is not working properly. I ordered a new clutch master for it. The slave cylinder was shot and replacing it gave me some clutch action, but it is still not clutchin' like it should. Other then that the only newly finished project bugs are the big washers on the top of the rear struts clanging over every bump. They either need to be shimmed or tightened. The tires rub over large bumps, that will hopefully go away with the alignment. I am too old to figure out the stereo, time to read the manual or let my 14 year old figure it out LOL. It works great, but I can't figure out any adjustments beyond the volume control. (not very intuitive). I have been invited to a spring cruise on Sunday and I am praying I will have at least the clutch sorted out before hand.Dominic Toretto rocks a MaZda and his cell phone number starts in "(323)"

Never a fan of dyno's because you can't race them LOL. Not sure how exciting a dyno day would be as the engine is basically stock. Really looking forward to my upcoming cruise through some crazy twisties this coming Sunday. I am also looking forward to some test and tune drag racing and open track events at the local track.Dominic Toretto rocks a MaZda and his cell phone number starts in "(323)"

Got the clutch working, the old clutch master must not of been working 100%
Discoverd that when I have a passenger the rear tires rub really bad on the fender lips. (The combo of lower offset wheels and MX-3 width track).
I came up with a great idea (if I do say so myself). I colored the whole tire with chalk and then filled the gas tank to full and got a......um....hefty friend to ride shot gun. LOL. The chalk on the tires made perfect "cut on the dotted line" impressions on the fender lip. I carefully sanded the lips with a 80 grit sanding disc on the angle grinder. I had a bucket of water and a rag to keep the "paint" cool. Now you can go mach 1 around a corner and zero contact. I can't believe how much the rear squats under full throttle. You can't even make the tire go full travel with a jack under the rear control arm and a number of....um...hefty people sitting on the bumper, yet under full throttle you can practically bottom out the struts. Got the car all washed up (first time) for a cruise tomorrow.
