Updated car pics
Being n/a, i spent the last year or so getting to stuff i put off on the car for a while. i had a friend towing his miata from ATL to LA last year. he picked me up a hardtop on his way through texas (thanks ike!). i found a rear bumper that was better than mine. i also bought some stuff like TSIs and other items.
i had the hartop, bumper and TSIs painted and cc'd. i had the diff rebuilt. new clutch plates in the mazdaspeed diff. i also received a pair of '95 m seats (with the headrests) and i reupholstered them in black leather. i added a sparco steering wheel. my wife has sparco usa as a client and they sold her the steering wheel i wanted at cost. i bought the watanabes and run them daily on yokohama r-comp tires. added a new HU with ipod controller. added an all metal radiator. added 440cc injectors and have tuning the car with the link http://www.teampointless.com/apictures/kfj_bm001.jpg http://www.teampointless.com/apictur...riverseat7.jpg http://www.teampointless.com/apictures/100_1704.jpg http://www.teampointless.com/apictur...7-t%5B1%5D.jpg |
Looks great. I like your wheel/tire combo. They add a muscle look to the car. I wouldn't change them. I suppose it's been lowered. Nice.
|
thanks.
yah, those are the watanabes joe (r*speed) had on his own car. he sold them to a mutual friend of ours. that person was transferred overseas this year, so i jumped at the chance to "keep them in the family". 8# magnesium wheels. gets a lot of up-close looks. they are 14x6.5 +18. i rolled the fenders to make them fit. it also gave me time to have my SSRs refurbished. i'm on fm springs(old-style) |
That's sweet. :)
|
why 440cc injectors if you're N/A?
|
learning to tune the link with 440s helps me when i add the turbo. they also respond a lot better on top with the ported head.
the kit is awaiting the turbo and a few braided lines. thats' it. i's still contemplating going to a 99 or 00 engine and keeping it n/a. in the meantime, it's still a fun car as it is. it's really only worth anything to me. it has a lot of sentimental value for me. |
Looks good!
|
very nice- are those 205-55-14s? I ran yokos in the size on my BBS RSs way back.
|
whats your suspension setup?
|

thanks everyone.
the tires are yokohama a0032r, 195-60-14, yes a little tall. the springs are old-style fm. the m-seats were a basket case. they were given to me by a friend. because of my familiarity with furniture and upholstery, i was able to save salvage the patterns. a co-worker builds most of our upholstery designs, so i paid him on the side to do them. i shaped the seat bottom foam a little to fit me better. the centers are black perforated leather with leather bolsters and sides. the feel and smell great. it's definitely a unique look. very subtle, which is how like to keep the style of the car. |
those seats look great.and look really comfortable.
|
I like it :)

watanabes=:bowdown:

Nice. Ive been debating painting my hardtop mariner.
|
had to go mariner. i like the color.
there's a mariner around here with a white ht, it looks really good. i wouldn't have thought so, but it does. |
your car is the hotness.
|
yeah those seats look great. surprising how different the interior looks with seperate headrests...
