Find a car detailer on CL and pay them to do it.

 

Preferably one with a flat rate.

 

That's a great idea. Thank you.

 

Is there a way to install my VIN plate on my new dashboard or do I have to go to a Mazda dealer?

 

also what are the cool kids doing for a reroute these days?

 

Kia Outlet: 0K24715172A
Escalade Radiator Hose: Gates #22436 or Dayco #E72380.
Spacer: https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-par...spacers-81861/
And I saw another good spacer in someone's build that looked like a commercial unit, but I don't recall the name.

EDIT: here it is:

Simple Green + pressure washer on a low setting, rinse and repeat as necessary. One of those low powered electric pressure washers would be perfect for this.

Use rivets? Why would you need to go to the Mazda dealer?

Depends on how balleur you want to be. Either M-Tuned or DIY with the Kia neck + spacer + Escalade hose. There is a thread around here somewhere.

 

thank you to everyone who's replied.

is there a halfway decent eBay 1.8 header? I need something to hold me over for a few months while I DD this car to rehab

 

also how do I remove this shitty, rusted and fused heat shield? do I just take a grinder to it and go all faeflora?

 

will this ghetto intake setup work as is or do I have to find a box and filter?

 

omg don't let its current state be a reflection of me, it's just in dire need of an unfucking.

I cannot believe I've let this piece of **** sit on the side of my house for 6 ******* years.

 

Intake is fine.

 

cool thanks

 

OMG, ABS NA?

 

yes, 1994 Gucci edition. tell your friends about it.

 

is an NA with ABS rare or something?

 

Rarer. I've seen a decent amount. The NB abs is a lot better so you mostly see NB swaps.

It's like 4 channel instead of 3 or something.

 

cool I'll just leave it in the car then

 

the last time I started this car was earlier this year after it had been sitting for ~6 years. it idled just fine but the exhaust had totally rusted out and it sounded like a tractor.

now, approximately 9 months later, it turns over but it wouldn't start, my battery was purchased in 2009. I put it on a booster but we'll see what happens tomorrow.

 

It looks like the air filter arrangement was modified for hot air intake by the previous owner.

I'm looking to see if it has seersucker seat covers but it is hard to tell from the pictures.
