it's amazing how much body work goes into a wire tuck. serious bondo work there.

 

Getting back to the original question...

I removed my overflow bottle quite a while ago. Try it (trust me) for a few days and you will see that your coolant never really goes low or overflows after the initial drive. You will stay about 1" below the top of your rad at all times. My car has been like this for about 2 years now and have never had a single problem. My overflow hose (from the rad cap) goes straight down towards the ground.

 

I did a mild wire tuck and got rid of the egr, canister, and relocated the overflow. I think it looks pretty good, but needs some paintwork eventually.
Here is a thread with a few pictures.

years ago i went to a fwee car shows. here at germany there are not so many miatas wich have done anything expect adding some chrom so i was trying to make something new inspired by my friends ...

 

That looks great Graf. Get an aluminum radiator in there and you will have a serious stunner.

 

I agree. I love the look, but don't know if I'll ever actually take the time to do it.

 

thx wide after i installed my starion ic i was looking for a alu rad. but i couldn´t get one here at germany :(

gts miata time wasn´t a big porblem i drive my car only from spring to autum so there are nearly 6 months time to spent for needless thing like hieding the wires but it was fun

 

wire tucking looks good

 

Maybe in TX, not up north....:gay:

 

never really did a wire tuck, but this is my megasquirt install/assessory tuck



wow those euro guys sure do spend alot of time shaving and tucking

 

^^Wow. Very nice.

 

you know if you're in to weight savings, and from the look of your engine bay I think you are? two bolts and that bracket for the stock airbox will come out. don't think you'll be using it anytime soon. as well as the one with the bolt sticking straight up.

 

good catch curly, ive taken that out of mine as well.

 

MXV - Your bay is simply amazing!!!! PLEASE post more pics in VBgarage so i can drool some more.

WOT - Always loved your Lugana blue. So rare! You shoulda kept it!
