BoBo's 96 montego blue (short) build thread

[BoBo]

Very nice! I like this build. Sometime the nice simple OEM+ looks are the best! Good work!

Thanks, hopefully I can save up for an FM turbo or kraftwerks sc. Some extra power could help.

Look what came in the mail today, I don't know what the japan writing says, It could mean Beatrush or great news

[speedypenguin]

It says:

MAZDA
Beatrush
Oil Filler Cap
Silver/Mazda



Looks great! Nice and classy.

[BoBo]

cool, you must be fluent in Japanese. It says by Laile, I assume its own by that company, I never heard of it. But I definitely like the look and quality of their oil cap compared to oem.

Very Nice piece!!

[BoBo]

Thanks, my battery went sour I should get my new one in the mail tomorrow.

[BoBo]

I noticed that the rubber vent were square shaped, so I cut the tips and in the new battery goes. I noticed that the WestCo battery is a bit heavier than my old one,must be a better quality and have more CCA.


This was the square tip that you had to cut off.


Looks good, the car turned over faster.

I keep forgetting to post this, matches well with the track Helmet.

Took a picture today, it's been raining like crazy all week, I wish I had a garage to work on my cars during the rainy days.

Nice car.. but what exactly about it is "track prepped"? Your roll bar won't pass inspection at any sanctioned event.

I had no problems taking my car to the track using my Harddog Hard Bar for HPDE, hence "track prepared" .However, I do have an autopower cage on the side.

[BoBo]

This is my Autopower cage that I had on my 2 or 3 previous roadsters. I left it at my parents house because I find it a bit overkill for daily commuting and occasional trackdays. However, if I ever decide to convert my car into a spec miata, I will use this SCCA Club Racing approve bar. Otherwise, it will just be a garage decoration until I decide what to do with it. I used to have a couple of AP cages, now I only have one. Wow, I can't believe that Ive had this for 5-7 years, time flies.

CRAP, I guess my FM reinforcement rails are backordered.....Oh well, my next track event isn't gonna happen until May.

[BoBo]

I just visited my parents today and look what I found in my old room. I didn't realize I still had these. The slicks are far from being stale so I will give these a shot if I go to my next local AutoX event.In addition, I forgot I had this much oil laying around LoL.

I have a 1994 M Edition that was Montego Blue.
Previous owner painted metallic blue over it.
I wonder what kind of shape my original paint was...
