Haraise's slow build thread...
Mainly doing this for myself, to have a build log. Not going to be the fastest or flashiest build ever...
My fourth Miata, Haraise. http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0593.jpg Fat Cat Motorsports mounts and bumpstops: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0133.jpg 8lb Fidanza Flywheel with new clutch: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0127.jpg 320mm steering wheel: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0132.jpg |
Hello Kitty FTW
|
Thanks! ^_^ I have a matching Hello Kitty oil cap too. I love her with the little scarf, racing.
|
Forgot the MMR engine mounts:

Enough with the god damn cats already. Next cat I see is going in my fried rice!

SS Clutch Line: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0150.jpg Prop Valve: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0151.jpg Some of the current weight loss: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0146.jpg My FD RX7 steering wheel: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0148.jpg Custom shift knob: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0147.jpg Tonight I'll be putting on the steering wheel, update when that happens. One Miata waiting patiently, one getting ready to get a new flywheel/clutch, and another car to drive at the moment... http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0145.jpg Edit: Why won't I love the MMR mounts? I had Mazda Comp mounts in my last car and thought stiffer yet would be better. |
Installed the wheel, it's not as small as I'd expected, but I can still see my gauges, so I'm not complaining! The adaptor and deep dish puts the wheel much closer to me, which is awesome for me, as I like the wheel up close. I'm pretty happy about this, here's a crappy night pic:

Been busy with something else lately, but I'm currently putting in a six speed transmission, 8lb flywheel, ACT Extreme clutch and SS clutch line right now.
The something else: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0204.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0207.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0210.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0214.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0215.jpg |
my friend with his e30 would pop a boner over the cleanliness of that car!!!!!

I'll take the 318 off your hands if you need less distractions...

That is 1 clean BMW. Good luck with the build.
|
The BMW is being pulled apart, likely needs a head gasket.
The Miata... has some rust on the bottom. How unexpected, for an Arizona car. Grinding it down and spraying it over with some paint. My frame rails are pretty much all pwnt, unsure what to do there. Box them in? Cut out and replace? Ignore it? |
My frame rails underneath are pretty jacked up to. My car is fast and can take turns fast, so I don't give a fuck. Later I might get some of those nifty bolt in rails.

Progress!
Installing the 1.6 Fidanza flywheel and ACT Extreme + Organic clutch and flywheel, with the six speed looking on... http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...vino/web-2.jpg And with it installed, I have shifting again! It'll take a while to learn that I have six speeds... haven't had that since the NC. :) http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0007.jpg And up next... http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0008.jpg FM springs, FCM mounts, bilsteins. That'll be first unless my Megasquirt shows up soon... Progress makes me a happy panda. :) |
Question: How do you save the boots from the shifter that you've recently bought and installed?
Answer: Goatse... http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...ino/goatse.jpg And my god, I've now been distracted by Left 4 Dead 2... up until 6:20 because I can't get past the bridge in advanced... |
Some more work done lately, more little things...
Like wondering how my front PPF bolt stayed on before I took it off... There's not a nut up top?!? Setup a battery mount in the stock location: http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0021.jpg And rewired the reverse switch (turns out that it doesn't matter which wires you put together): http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...o/IMG_0022.jpg Still can't drive the car until I get my Megasquirt, so haven't been rushing... |
Can you flip the battery over in the mount? I ask because the posts appear awfully close to the deck...
|
Certainly, what do you think of this?
http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/c...IMG_0023-1.jpg Thank you. :) |
