As always, top notch Jeff. Fun to watch your progress. It gives the impression that it took just a few minutes, but we all know that's not true.
Props, again. |

Little more done today.
Assembled the steering rack after I stripped off all the rust and painted it a while back. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390090696 All the sound deadening is done!!!! Thank christ. Turned out really really good after I found out how MLV likes to bend and how it doesn't like to bend. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390090696 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390090696 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390090696 Brake, clutch, gas pedal installed and associated master cylinders https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390090696 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390090696 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390090696 Waiting on a couple parts to dry from painting them before I can put the steering rack on and the hard lines. |

Little bit more progress from last night.
Cleaning the gasket for the gas tank....lots of degreaser and a plastic razor blade and Super VRT -Before https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 -After https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 Hard lines mounted https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 Gas tank mounted https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 Gas tank hoses/fuel pump/fuel filter finished up https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 Filler tube/breather tube/vent tube installed https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390132434 Not quite sure what to do next...maybe get some of the interior trim pieces put in, or the wiring harness, not sure. |
Astonishing work, as usual... I would vote for the harness, as this should be easier
with the trim pieces of. |
Inspiring work for sure. I wish I'd had the time and patience to do all this when I painted my car last year.
|
I would definitely get the harness out of the way first! It will motivate you even more to install the things that plug in at the other end :party:

Wow man, good show. As usual.

Not bad. Props to you, for a while I thought I had the quietest most rattle free miata on here but you beat me hands down.

I wanna' go fast! (Forgive me, just coming off a track weekend, adrenaline still there) |
I do as well, but earplugs are uncomfortable after a while!
Vlad, only time will tell if my car is quieter than yours. We'll find out just how good of a job I did. |

Big update I'll break it up into parts
Emergency brake installed Deep cleaned the cables and protected them with Super VRT. Not sure if I routed the rear brake connections correctly but in my minds eye they work out ok. I put the spare or "slack line above the gas tank. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 For the life of me I can't remember what bracket goes right here https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 Also cleaned up the "dust shield" for the steering rack https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267810 |

Started installing the wiring harness.
A lot of the electrical tape was starting to rot so I decided to re-wrap allofit. Luckily electrical tape is cheap so I didn't feel guilty doing so. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268132 Dash harness in. I broke a lot of the plastic holder tabs so I just used several zipties. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268132 I honestly have no clue/can't remember how the wiring is routed to the trunk. Any clues? https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268132 Just need to install the PPF/battery harness and then the COP Harness and try to chase down those cut wires. |
I just did my ebrake cables 2 nights ago. Don't forget the springclips to hold the cables into this mount
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390267825 Also, the missing bracket has a tab on one side, a hole on the other, and a semicircle in the middle to hold the cable. I can snap a pic tomorrow if I remember |

Had to overhaul my window wiper motor and wiper linkage arms
Problem I had was that the newer car's window wiper motor was fried so I had to replace the 90' with the 93' motor. The problem, is that in the 1993 model they changed to a 4-bolt bracket and the 1990 shell has a 3-bolt triangular bracket. I had to install the motor upside down and trim some of the edge of the bracket off to get the 93' motor to work. Hopefully I don't have issues with it but it installed just fine so I'm guessing not. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268515 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268515 Also degreased and cleaned all the wiper arm linkages. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268515 the boots https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268515 greasing them up to get them ready to slip over the plastic retaining tabs https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268515 Used C-clip pliers to stretch it enough to pull back over the ball joint https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268515 All brand new and spiffy https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268515 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390268515 |
I saw a speck of dust in one of the pictures.
You better stop slacking :giggle: |
