A little parts update. I found a great deal on some Bomex aero mirrors and I think they look great!

Thanks to the long Labor day weekend I was able to do some much needed interior maintenance and clean the old Sparcos and clean under the 25 year old carpet (I found some dead bugs in there that were terrifying) but everything is super clean and minty fresh. I was able to install something that I have had for months, it would be the gold Nielex Hazard/Pop Up switch. I really dig the satisfying firm click it has, a very nice touch.

So here is my hoard of stuff ,as someone else said on Facebook "i feel you're slowly turning into Phatmiata". This is all the stuff that I would like to put on the B-Spec, obviously not the Air box, the 2 point strut bar, and the 1.8 ARC Chamber but everything else will be on the car i do have a mazdaspeed wheel but its seen better days and just might re-wrap it or keep it original with its cool worn look. The Mazdaspeed cluster however i am thinking of selling, only has 48k km and has KG WORK turn signal indicators if any of you guys are interested PM me for info.

M.Lambert was selling his black oil cap and couldn't pass it up, its just so clean and perfect for the build!

I finally got around to installing my old worn mazdaspeed wheel and other accessories. Found out it has a Nardi hub which is neat.

And here is the final product! Definitely is very race car and it is so fun to time yourself. I was able to achieve a 0-100kmph in 5.7 seconds to give you all a reference on power figures.

After I cleaned up from sweating my eyes out (its stupid hot in Miami in right now) I went for a nice drive through south Miami. I seriously cant get enough of this car.

I know you all are patiently waiting for installs, i'm just getting some boring adult stuff out of the way first and then the installs will commence. Little teaser consists of something from Bo Gaut (ps:Thank you Bo!!!!!!!!) and a nice collection of OEM Mazda interior parts that will be here soon but definitely not soon enough

Update time!!
So thankfully this weekend wasn't too hot and I had some time to do EUNOS maintenance. I changed the oil which was very much needed looked like black water, it was so thin. I used 20w50 Liqui-Moly which worked wonders for the minor lifter tick I had. also used Liqui-Moly's anti-friction solution that goes in with the oil. i dropped about 6 degrees in overall oil temp after some spirited driving.

While under the car I saw these 2 guys hanging out.

Shoutout to Bill at miataroadster for some genuine mazda maintenance pieces. I bought a set of CX-5 washer nozzles for the daily cause mine shoot a mist and i want a tsunami. and I got rubber caps for the windshield wipers on the Eunos because I need to restore my rusty wipers. and finally got some OEM NGKs and that fixed my minor throttle response hesitation.

And finally my day ended by putting the first engine bay mods. A set of Mazdaspeed Plug wires (IG; JDM_Seekers) and a Mazdaspeed Oil Cap in the elusive black from Matthew Lambert. Thank you!!
