I've seen 320 as the finest grit so far. ..

 

then use that. like roger said: unless you have scratches, all you gotta do is scuff it up

 

Cool.

 

I dig the door card stitching, but the street sign was epic. Sad I missed it, but emulation is flattery?

 

I still have them if you wanna buy them lol

 

anyone here remove their heater core? i just did and i need to know, if any, what rubber plugs you used to plug the two holes in the engine bay where the pipes once were.

 

Base GD chassis mx6/626 a/c delete oem firewall plugs fit. I'd bet you could get the same parts off any number of Mazdas that came without a/c.

 

duct tape

 

My local auto parts store sells plugs in all sorts of sizes. Look/ask for body plugs.

 

much appreciated guys

 

Update (no the project isnt dead):

Heres what I purchased:

MSPNP
MSM Head
550cc injectors
99 Intake mani and msd actuator for the VICS
Aem wideband
H Beam rods
King bearings
Arp hardware
Walbro fuel pump
Spec stage 3 clutch

I also removed the heater core as well, I never use the damn heater. Im going to use stock pistons with new rings I already bought, hone the cylinders assemble everything. After thats all done, Ill be using the stock ecu with the stock injectors for a little till the engine is broken in (hopefully not broke). After thats done, Ill need to get an exhaust mani, downpipe, ewg, install it all, tune, and again hopefully, finally have a setup again that works great and doesnt create extraordinary nightmares. Im shooting for 300hp and 270-80 tq.

 

Im basically doing a solid old school build. Those never gave me issues.

 

I didn't know you still had a Miata! You spend too much time playing with the kids over on CR

What turbo to you plan on using this time around?

 

Taken directly from the FS add on here last year:

"it's the T04E series from Turbonetics.
50 trim size of compressor wheel inducer/exducer - 2.122 / 3.00in.
3" inlet, 2" outlet.
the turbine housing is stamped .48AR"

 

cool, any pictures??

 

Ill just put this here. No its not turbod yet and i still need to wire everything up but I was able to do this

 

Yay!

 

Are you seriously not dead?

 

More alive then ever dude. That fitment though. No, it doesnt rub at all no matter how hard I drive

 

Such balloon, much wow.

Also, you need some black gauge faces.
