Got everything finished up today.

List of parts bought.

Parts

Old pump out.

New new in.

Tried to polish up my valve cover a little.

All finished.

After doing more reading i think my cam seals may be leaking as well... i dunno.

I'll swap this one when it blows up.

I know no one gives a shit.

But i'll put this here anyway.

I GIVE A SHIT! SCHMEXY ENGINE BLOCK U GOT THERE BRO!

yes agreed n its soooo clean looking

awesome stuff!

So after tearing it down *again*. Well only some of it. I reset the timing belt tension. No more supercharger sound.

I have a leak on my upper rad hose. Right at the cap for the thermostat.

I'll deal with that later.

Wow moving quite along!

I do work.

But supercharger sounds are good!

You're making good progress, keep it up!

SWEET! So much progress!

But supercharger sounds are good!

I agree.

But not when it is coming form the timing belt.

Nothing like a project to occupy your spare time...and money.

Fixed my coolant leak. Just had to tighten up the clamp a bit more. Had to put all 120lbs of my weight behind it.

I tell ya what, this car is just amazing. Nothing like i have ever driven before. Don't get me wrong, with all the mods i put into the grand am, it is good. But not like the miata.

The only comparision i can make is that when you were a little kid and drove the fast go-karts. That is what this feels like to me. It don't have all the balls in the world, torque wise you might as well forget it. The grand am wins in that category. But all around fun is just amazing.

Still kinda granny shifting, and gettin the feel for driving a 5 speed. It's a bit different than dirt bikes and quads.

I was making a tight turn-a-round in a parking lot was doing about 20 in 2nd and just tapped the gas and the ass end swung around into a nice drift. No power steering + LSD with and 50/50 ratio is fun times.

I park both my cars in the garage. Bitch.

i found one on CL with a turbo for with 86k miles 3k...i kind of want

I cut the wheel to the right thinking the good side is the driver side like on the grand am. But it's not, the passenger side is more better.

Cool pics!! Its looking good!

This is making me miss drifting my friend's Miata. To bad he totaled it.....

Nice. Those cars always were fun.

Tell your cameraman he needs moar framerate.

This was one of the things that NEEDED to be done. I had no sound in the right speaker, and the radio was complete trash.

I know it needs to be vacuumed out. And i know some people might have opinions on the products used, but i wasn't spending a fortune on a stereo system for Miata.

nice dude you have me wanting one as a track car now
