What a gorgeous car. That engine bay looks great. The interior has some real nice touches too. Diamond stitch parcel shelf and panels caught my eye

$50 of material on amazon and you can make some yourself

Nice. I've got a poorly fit area of felt cloth on my parcel shelf since I removed the soft top and plastic partitions. It was done in a bit of a hurry, just to partially cover the metal. I might give it another try with the diamond stitch material. I need more patience though. That is the struggle. I've already thought about getting a custom upholsterer to do a quality job instead of me hacking together a roughshod version again.

you can always check out carbonmiata's offerings, but I'm cheap and cant justify the $189 cost and $55 shipping. Good luck if you have a roll bar.

What housing did you use for your re-route? I test fit a housing from another Mazda that oriented the hose like that when i was doing some looking into a spacer-less re-route.

BRB, burning my shitbox to the ground.

And your hard fuel lines. Did the European '99 come with them shaped like that, or did you do some adjustments?

are you talking about the brake lines?

Fuel lines are routed differently than on my NB1.

DNMakinson

Fuel line, as it enters the engine compartment, and on US versions, the Evap line, came straight up. Then there was the damper arrangement.

I know that the EU version had the return line.

My question revolves around the fact that his supply and return lines are angled back, rather than pointing straight up.

Note, this isn't just an EU car, it's a UK car, it's RHD. A few things will be different.

I love the door cards, so much more room!

Oh I see it now. Kinda sorta looks like NA return-style setup.
