Where to begin?
Essentially, i bought this car about a month ago, mid january.
It was already SR swapped, but they did a terrible job.
When i bought it, the car had a laundry list of problems.
Wiring harness/trans harness was F'd up beyond belief
Powersteering wasnt connected
They were using the wrong type of air filter (oil based)
They were running the stock fuel pump
The car had the stock 240sx exhaust
They had some ghetto manual boost controller
Motor was boosting at 12lbs on the sidemount and stock exhaust!
Heater hoses were kinked and ran incorrectly
The car had a blown strut.
Vaccum lines were not run from the oil catch can
So i bought this car as a project.
Surprisingly enough however, the car passed the compression test and leakdown test with excellent results.
So, i just picked the car up from the shop yesterday. Within the month ive owned the car, ive added the following goodies:
New Complete wiring and trans harness
New powersteering belt
New Vacuum lines
New fuel lines
New heater hoses
OEM SR Oil pan
OEM SR Fan shroud
Miata battery
NGK Spark plugs
Koyo Radiator
Samco rad hoses
New intake (dont remember the brand)
Isis 3" downpipe
Isis 3" testpipe
Blitz 3" Nur Spec exhaust
Walbro 255/lph fuel pump
300zx TT Fuel filter
BC Racing BR coilovers
So for now, i think ive made pretty decent progress. I also ripped out the backseats, and all lining in the trunk. Ive attached photos.
My plans for the car by the end of the spring:
Blitz LM FMIC
SPL s13 tie rod kit (inner, outer, rear upper).
SPL Tension rods
Tanabe sway bar
R33 Front brakes
Z32 Rear brakes
Wheels - leaning towards Volk TE37's.
S15 Dif.
gt2871r - that might be more into the summer.
So this is my project a month in. Let me know what you think.
