I lost my coolant lines! (reroute inside)
So all my lines are almost all hidden:
side lines are almost all gone. i bypassed the heater lines and developed a cam seal leak:
and now everything else is tucked under and behind the intake manifold all nice and purty:
And what are my temps now? Well after taking the car out for a spin, my cannot go over this now matter how hard i beat on it:
My fans dont even turn on now. So i guess all Ill have to worry about now is running too cool. Although I dont think that'll be that big a deal at this point.

two things, loose the gold, get a turbo.
not bad though, you've got some stray wires to clean up in front of the pulleys, and some blue wire going between the block and intake manifold. also get some better tubing so it doesn't yellow like your radiator overflow and valve cover vent.
I'll say again though, nice. but get a turbo.

thanks guys. im aware of the glaring stuff under the hood. im not finished yet. im dead set on not turboing this car. besides, i think ive already got all my turbo stuff sold any way. Is it still cool if I stick around here if my cars not turbo'd :(?
The gold will go. The cluster bezel i got off ebay. ive never seen another like it on a miata that is.
I have a 180 thermostat in there. I took the 160 I had out of there.

I have to say, a miata is fun either way. And sometimes I wish i would have saved the money and not turbo'ed. But then I hit boost. "And It starts all coming back to me now, And there are things I would never do again, but then they always feel right. Nights filled with pleasure......"
Yea that was gay.
I picked up another Unicorn last night. I really like it. This miata has nothing done to it, and will break a sideways when I hit second.
I had a white one like that and got to the motor, and then sold it. I guess some cars just run better than others. It would of been nice if my turbo car would of ran like that before the turbo. I bet this na car would scream with turbo.
But it is for sale or trade. LOL

I'm sorry guys, I like the gold. LOL
Probably because I am a child of the 80's and had a black and gold Otasco Racing BMX. That bicycle could not be destroyed. everyone else had floresent: (pinks, reds, purple's, and oranges) I had the man color.
I also had a hulk hogan colored red and yellow bike. hahahah THat is why I left the red fm piping on my yellow miata.... I know I have issues. LOL
I would get rid of the red. But the rest looks sick!

I didn't get to bmx offically. But there was a gravel pit 1/2 mile through the woods. We where not suposed to be there, it had rattle snakes, and had been kicked out several times, and threatened of death by our parents many times. But we lived there. LOL
In the spring it would flood, there were all types of snakes, and we were so stupid to swim in it. That red clay in the gravel, and black top soil made the water STINK. My friend would try to dry off on his bike, but his mom could always smell it. She would chase him around the yard with the belt. We would die laughing until she started to get us. LOL
I think that bike will be my next project to fix up. LOL

the water temp gauge in the OEM location...that is pimp. did you buy the cluster like that or did you mod to fit? I did something like that in the MR2 I used to have, Omori boost gauge in the stock cluster location. Took some dremeling of the stock cluster and some rerouting of the plastic circuit board behind it, but it worked. I'd like a real water temp gauge in my miata but I already have five gauges that are more useful, and don't want to add a sixth, it would have to go in one of the heater vents. Does anyone know if it is possible to linerize, IE make the stock gauge not an idiot gauge, but accurate?

Hey Leather..... finally got around to re-installing the temp gauge after dropping the wire gauge. (14g down to 18g) All they had. Will tootle around in it tonight and beat on it to see if it fixed it or I have defuncto gaugo.
Good looking bay there. That little BP looks so tiny with all that realstate.
Cheers.....

Ok man....jeez I hate wiring sometimes. Got the two wires rerouted and hooked up. Everything seemed fine when powered up.....went to put panel back together and "black out". Blew a fuse somewheres.....lost the water temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, and my G-tech which is hard wired to the cig. lighter. The oil and water are powered from the switchable radio power, since I no longer have a radio.
Damn, back to square one....once I pull the seat so I can get down to see which fuse blew. Frickity Frackity F#$*! Inline fuses are going in this time around as well.....
So Leather.....what ignition power source are you jumping from for your water gauge?
