So finally I ordered some piping from cxracing and got my intercooler done. It worked out real well no problems at all. Heres some pics I took this morning.
-And its straight to! Attachment 213731 Attachment 213732 -Still using that Greddy bull shit pipe until I figure something out. Attachment 213733 -My neighbor made me this bracket and it was perfect. The only thing I bought were the washers and bolts. And everything lined up just right. Attachment 213734 -Some pics of how i went around the Radiator. Attachment 213735 Attachment 213736 -Found out my blow off valve was leaking and thus i had idle dropping issues so my friend swapped me for his knock off HKS for my knock off Greddy. Now my idle is perfect and for some reason he likes my Greddy. So it all worked out. + I like the sounds of this one better! Attachment 213737 Attachment 213738 |
Nice man, looks good! I got some pipes from them as well. I just need to get a new IC and mock up my pipes. I'm going to have a friend that owns a welding shop weld all of mine to cut down on blow out spots.

-This miata was put together by me after i totaled my white one. So theres a lot of parts from different miata. Its really really UGLY right now, but after a n expensive paint job it should look good. Now that i got the car running decent the Next step is to paint it. a friend of mine had a 700 dollar paint job, and its amazing its all in the prep work, so if u prep it very well ur self, it should come out great then just buff till it looks like a show room car ps, what color would u go with? |
Hey man, looking good! You're taking care of the important stuff before the show. :D
|
small sucker
|
Looks good to me, great job man. Did you paint the pipes or get them coated? The finish looks real even on them all that I can see from my quick look.
|
Why did you both keep the question-mark pipe?
|
looks nice. I cant wait to turbo.
Any plans to eliminate that greedy ? pipe? |

Did you buy a "kit" from cx racing off e-bay or just specific pipes/couplers/t-bolt clamps from them. I just went with one of there "kits" off e-bay and am hoping ill have enough pipes ect to finish the job off.

People paint them black so they don't draw attention, makes your car less likely to be a victim of theft as well.
