So, i got my begi s1 in and began installing it, its really pretty easy. Just takes some patience. I would say easier than installing a rollbar. Anyway, i also bought a 92 yellow miata with a hardtop for $500. I then took the hardtop off, put it on my car and sold the yellow miata for $600 the same day! Pretty sweet deal if do say so myself. But, for anyone who cares, here are some pictures!

Looking good so far man. That GT turbo looks huge in the engine bay :). Good luck with the rest of the build, the quality looks pretty good.

Ronald Mcdonald FTW!

yea, it looks really big,

good luck with everything, hope it runs great,
we need running shots of it when its done,


ps, paint the hardtop lol

Nice job wess I just got done striping a HT I got off of 502ss for a decent price as well. I hope the build goes well for you GL.

Haha, yeah, i will feel pretty dumb with the yellow until i can get it painted. Do you guys think that if i get it painted red that it will match? I have heard that it is hard to get the paint to match the rest of the car because of fading. If i dont think it will match, i can just get it painted black. But either way, i like the look of a yellow hardtop better than the look of the soft top.

I'd suggest trading for a red one or selling the yellow one on m.net for some good money since I'm assuming it's original Sunburst paint. Then you should be able to buy a red one for cheap.

300 PSI coolant hose, holy shit.

All I could find around my house to use for coolant hose is 50psi emissions/fuel hose.

oh i hadnt thought of that, that is something i can try.

Heh, i guess begi just knows where to look. :)

nice pics - begi makes it easy eh? that kit looks very complete.

yeah, its pretty easy. The instructions are a little hard to understand sometimes and some of the bag numbers dont match up with the instructions but so far no MAJOR problems :cool:

You might keep a running list and send to BEGI - from what I gather, they'd actually like to know. Your pics show what getting a kit is about- more about getting thing together so you can drive vs. figuring it all out.

Thats a nice McHardtop.

yeah, i should've jotted some stuff down but unfortunately, as most of my work takes place after midnight, i didn't.

yeah all i need now is some hamburger wheels!

Lets see the finished product.....so far it looks good...I am waiting for my S2 kit sometime this week... I hope

Now I really want some Fries....Damn yooooouuuuuuu!

Looks good man! I'd love to rock that manifold

Unfortunately i can only work on it on the weekend and some of the items are backordered :vash:

What are you still waiting for?? Backordered??

yeah, boost gauge, oil sump fitting, egr 90* fitting were all backordered. something else if i remember right, oh, they also didnt ship my wb o2 gauge that i ordered.
