302 Miata Time!

Some goodies arrived today!

 

Any suspension plans? There are a couple of good, lightly used coilover sets for sale on another forum I am on. I can text you the links.
One of the sets is the DSD coilovers from V8roadsters for about half of the new price.

I'm thinking about putting the XIDAs from 949 on mine.

 

Well I already have some DGR street suspension and I love the way they feel. I'm sure they'll do me good for a while until I get a more track type coilovers.
I really do want to have a badass suspension. Tubular control arms as well!

 

I have completed a lot since my last update. I finished modifying the stock crank pulley to be able to use the Miata PS pump. Got the proper sized belts.
Got the slave cylinder and clutch hose in. I heat taped the clutch hose where the exhaust will run.
Also, fabricated my diff mounts and mounted up the diff to get measure for the driveshaft (which should be available on Monday). I will have to drop the diff again so I could rebuild it or have someone rebuild it and install some 3.55 gears I have laying around.
I should get my wiring harness next week, hopefully. Been waiting 3+ months!
I did decide that I will be spraying nitrous (100-150 wet shot).

Painted my valve covers black as well. I think they look better now.

I had to fabricate a shifter adapter since the transmission sits further up and had to center the shifter. Looks weird but that's what everyone does that uses a T5.

 

THIS THREAD NEEDS UPDATE!!!

Car sounds Good bro!

Its to scare the ricers

 

It's to scare the much bigger/heavier cars that have V8s, too. (They'll think to themselves, "Well, there goes my advantage...") LOL

 

Video?

 

There ya go. It was actually recorded a few weeks ago.
Here's how she's been sitting for 2-3 weeks already.

 

Because JDM bro

 

What did i miss, why are the heads off?
[doublepost=1485142947][/doublepost]Also you need to grease and cover all of that sith plastic or it will be a giant rusted mess when you go to put it back together.

 

Sold my old heads and saving up for some aluminum heads.
Which plastic?

 

Cover it in plastic wrap to seal it tight and then some garbage bags over that. You might want to put some oil in the cylinders and turn the engine a bit by hand since it has been sittong open already

 

Oh that's what you meant! Lol yeah I have already done that. Covered most of the engine (internals) with fresh oil. Don't want any rust in there.
