'88 E30

[KaiserRolls]

forgot to post the Road America video here. for some i reason i let off before the timing light

[KaiserRolls]

Just picked up some axles from Nick! Will be ordering crap to reboot and regrease them.

[KaiserRolls]

Haven't touched the axles as the Miata is suffocating the garage right now. But I slapped on a wheel I picked up from Dan. I really like the smaller size and the way it sits a tad closer to the driver

Size comparison to stock for those interested (no idea what mm the sparco wheel is)

Might eventually get a center horn button, even though I don't have a horn

What a comprehensive review

[straight6pwr]

looks purposeful next to that hydro lever!

also the yellow stripe compliments the blue ratchet strap nicely.

[KaiserRolls]

So haven't done anything to the car, as the Miata is still priority. But I finally hung up some lights. Already have the 2 LED bulbs in the normal sockets-but they're in non helpful spots.

Went to menards. Spent $10 per fixture thing. Bought some 6500K LED bulbs for like $8 and hung them. For under $50 I can now see what I'm ruining in the garage!

Also put it on jackstands again, hooray

[KaiserRolls]

Also, it's t shirt and shorts weather!!

[YoungCR]

Damn those led bulbs are cheap! Looks good.

[patsbimmer1]

I didn't know you could buy fixtures and bulbs that cheap!  I'd love to upgrade my halogen's to LED's at some point in the garage.

Let there be light! I added lights to my work benches in my shop about 6 months ago, I dont know why I waited 5 years to do it, but it made a world of difference. Looks great, I am also impressed that you hired someone to stare deeply into the casting of the miata engine to search for extra horsepowers!

Updates-ish

Car still remains a pile of parts

Miata motor is hopefully going back in the car this week

Haven't fixed my axles, haven't reinstalled power steering, haven't installed my seats

Just been Miata stuff lately, please send help

Ben came over last weekend. We pulled the head

I will be taking it to a shop in MN most likely. Then I will probably be ordering ARPs and a cutring headgasket because why not

[YoungCR]

What's getting done to the head?

[B C]

The crack in the head is getting repaired, right Mitch?

It was pulled because it was seeping coolant externally when I would shut the car off hot. Tiny amounts, but enough to piss me off

Also because I wanted to replace the HG, figured it's best practice to have the head gone through. Then I will have no concerns about running this motor for another xx,xxx amount of miles

Yea, it has a crack larger than your ass

[KaiserRolls]

I also want to get rid of the ABS pump, as I have no ABS anyways.

That's the plan for this weekend!

[TehRaydarlover]

Miata done yet? 

[KaiserRolls]

Nope.

Parts were supposed to show up Wednesday, but brooke and I ran to mke so she could pick up another Miata.

I can't get away from these god damn cars.

She keeps buying vehicles I can't fit in.

It's a 2004 MSM with a bit of work done. Runs about 10/11/12 psi on a tiny turbo.

Good news parts showed up today! But brooke ran to the bank at the same time so I get to wait till tomorrow delivery. 3rd times a charm I guess

I hate miatas
