started work on the rear subframe
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

assembled the diff
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912
removing the old bushings was a lot harded than putting in the new ones

all bushings all done
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

next, subframe in the car
i decided to install this by pieces. i installed the RUCA to the subframe becaus ei figured it would be easier than doing it with it on the car, then it didn't add that much weight anyways. i did this all by myself, so making it light for me to be able to lift it was a must
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

i then installed the diff, again..this thing weight about 50 lbs or so...
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

fully assembled
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

installed protege steering wheel, i still need to restore it but it'll work for now
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1408980912

car sits higher in the rear because well.. i failed.
when assembling the struts, i installed the rear springs in the front and vice versa...fucking fail i know but i rusehd it...i'll have to deal with that later...at least before the alignment.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1410370270

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1410370270

this is what i am looking into doing.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1410370270

Very nice build! GAUGES!!!

Question about your oil filter. I see possibly the larger one was used... Would you happen to know the filter sizing or K&N oil filter part number for a slightly larger filter?

Alejo_NIN 09-10-2014 01:54 PM

don't want to be a douche, but it took me 10 seconds to find it on google :P
Cross Reference for K&N Filter Part Number HP-1010

do a search within that page for L141610 and you'll see the cross reference to HP-1010

Impuls 09-10-2014 01:56 PM

Sweet oil feed routing bro!

There's quite a few K&N filters in various sizes. What's your pipe size?

Alejo_NIN 09-10-2014 01:57 PM

2.5"

this one was a mistake but i needed one badly...i heard spectre was made by K&N, or so i want to think..i really don't want to know how much money i wasted...
