Default Update on ongoing 1.6 t3/t4 Pics

well here are the latest Pictures taken today (06/27/07). Next is the Downpipe and then starting the car. And I will be using a filter, so dont ask. Notice the wastegate placement, I talked about this in a previous thread.

I bought the manifold used a few years ago and had a friend install the wastegate flange recently.

Rebel.

Up here, I am pretty sure the dealership just takes that **** off when you take delivery.

I have all my Emissions stuff on, but it sure made a difference (power wise) on my RX-7s.

Get a well built air cleaner. That sucker looks ready to eat an arm.

Are you guys on crack? The only emmisions thing over there is the Vapor Canister. The Major thing on that side is the bracket for windshield washer bottle/fusebox.

Concerning the Velocity stack, It wont be an everyday thing unless I can find a proper sock for it. I've got a cone filter on a short pipe planned for it.

Now thw hard part is the tight radius Downpipe. BTW, be on the lookout for a Racing Mazda Greddy turbo Downpipe hitting Ebay later on Today!.

[HiJack Thread]
Just out of curiosity, what hood do you have in the miata as your avatar? Looks like the Seibon hood for RX7's
[/HiJack Thread]

Nice progress!
