    That looks awesome! I just don't like the wheels for some reason. I think it's the color. Maybe silver or black and they might look better. Just my opinion, tho.

      Thought the whole thing looked shiny. I thought you just got the new panels painted. Looks killer.

        going to pick up a dsm optical cas today, cops should be here next week. this weekend im finishing the engine harness and doing the hardware mods inside ms to get all ready and just need to switch a few settings when its all said and done... so in the next few weeks ill be running toyota cops finally..... cops seem to be overly easy to wire, i may have to start doing this for the local dsm guys too, as theres deffinatly an abundance of them here and its almost identical to the miata set up..... then i guess ill have to start learning link and the other dsm programs so i can atleast change the dwell to make them run right for people..... ya i must be bored......

          Took the 323 apart and saved all the black interior for my white car, motor and wiring for the awd.

              Yes! The whole thing is shiny haha. Took 2nd place in the the state college car show. Bittersweet though, took 2nd in the Mazda category out of 2 cars but the miata that beat me is driven by a very attractive female who bought the car as is with lots of chrome goodies. Judges were also lowrider guys that really dig the chrome. -_-

                Looks great Ace! I would have painted the grill though.

                I bought mine some nice new component door speakers, so I can enjoy my music AND open my windows all the way. Every BG I've had I've only been able to open the windows part way due to huge coax speakers.

                  Had to have it towed home. I think the fuel pump went out..... Worst part was that it went out at school 40 miles away, not here. Hoping to work on it on thursday. Until then, I'll have to drive my dad's underpowered ford ranger. I hate that truck......

                      Fire!!!

                      Today I cut some rusted metal from the driver's side floorboard in 2 spots: to the left of the clutch pedal where that bump is with the circular hole, and to the right of it below the brake pedal. The corrosion is a result of elements coming up from holes at the bottom of the frame rail. I guess the snow and stuff shoots up in there, collects and starts rusting out the floor from outside... You can't see it because the frame rail covers it. To further explain, once I cut the rusted metal from the floor I could see the welded nut where the K frame bolt at the LCA comes up and through...
                      Anyways, shaped and welded the first piece on, then before closing up the other hole, I sprayed some cavity wax in there...ahem... the can did say keep away from flame but I figured the metal plate would shield it.... Wrong!!!
                      The stuff started burning (cancerous stuff too) so I had to pull the plate off...no extinguisher so had to throw some water on it...so I tried it again, (it looked diluted now) and it started flaming again!! Used a paper cup of water this time, but first I used compressed air thinking it would blow it out. The thought did occur to me that I was adding oxygen but figured I'd try it anyways...needless to say won't try that again!!!
                      3rd time was a charm, got that last plate welded on and sealed it with a sealer. I'll seam seal it after and should be good to go...This time I'll shoot that cavity wax through that hole in the floor and then from the holes at the bottom of the frame rail...
