    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.

    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.

    Yup. They don’t illuminate and I was considering removing them and installing brake duct back plates and duct hoses that terminate at the fog light 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 remember you wanting to do that on Blue Lion. I didn't see the lights on so I thought I might have missed you doing something like that here.

    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!
