Great pictures indeed. Makes me want to take a far away drive again. Been meaning to go to Kings canyon area in the Miata one of these days.

That’s a great drive there too. [emoji4]
Juxtaposed, the Appalachians keep me on my toes more. The roads are tighter, sharper turns, more hazards from water, weather, and wildlife. The fauna is so thick, I need to keep my eyes up farther because it conceals so much. I think the roads are in better shape than those out west, maybe because they are more vital to the people who live there?
I like all the water in the Appalachians, too. Just more relaxing to me. The forests are so thick they really are subtropical rain forests. [emoji4]

Steven, are those OEM fog lights behind the openings?
I wrapped the throttle body elbow and IAT Sensor in some of that gold heat reflective take to try to alleviate some issues with IAT sensor heat soak
I added clear repeaters to my fenders:

Great pics, Steven! What size wheels are those?
It’s just not a priority. I’m not a huge fan of auxiliary lighting, like separate fog/driving lights anymore. The stock fogs are really pretty useless on the NB1, so I’d rather use the existing holes for something functional.
I read fog lights are rare on non-10ae ‘99s, so I assume these were dealer added or POE accessories. Maybe a previous owner added them.
Finally got everything I need to install the rear main seal... Except for the install tool... Hopefully that gets delivered this week. Need to source a timing belt kit, too.
Trying to remember if a pvc cap will work on the RSM, but I think the last two I've done, just did it by hand, slowly, and eyeballed it.
Rock auto had a nice Gates TB kit, IIRC when I did mine this year. I was impressed with the waterpump too, nice casting and machining.
After the mess that was James' RMS install / re-install, I'm gun-shy on the thing. Hopefully. the leak is with the round seal, and not the lower gasket. not gonna drop the motor, after all this mess.
Found a cnc'ed install tool for cheap, so I'll just use that, and hold on to it/resell.
I completely understand that.
I find it’s kind of rare for those saddle seals between the pan and block to leak.
With limited space, like the engine still in the car, I would want to use a seating tool as well. Good luck!
