SubieGreg's NA build (BP-4W swap coming soon)

Save yourself some headaches later and strip the paint off the area around the oil filter location. You currently have the mating surface for the oil cooler painted. I have seen these areas leak oil caused by painting this.

Ah didn't think about that, thanks for the tip!

Thanks but that's about all the progress I'm gonna make. I haven't even dropped off the head at the machine shop yet...

Have you started on your motor?

[SubieGreg]

Again....

I'm considering getting flares to bounce back from this one. I just don't want to run the wheels required to fill out flares. It'd ruin my handling. Plus I don't have the money for wheels/tires or spacers right now so I'd have to roll around hellasunk. I'll have to see how much the insurance company gives me.

Damn, dude... You've got some crappy luck with accidents

I'll top that. I got sideswiped the first week of owning the MSM. Minor damage and it buffed out. But it still looks good. How the motor coming along?

I know tell me about it.

That's terrible!

Motor is coming. Still need to order valves and everything. Really need the valves, then I can drop the head off to be worked on.

I dropped the miata off at the body shop today. It should be finished on Friday. As soon as I get it back and I receive the title for the civic in the mail the civic is going up for sale. Then I'm gonna finally finish my motor....

no, don't add flares to the car dude, your car look so clean and beautiful the way it is

great choice!! i just voted 5 stars your thread because I love silver NAs. I owned three silver MAs prior to the NB and always love this color.

Thank you for the vote! Silverstone, BRG, Sunburst and Mariner are my faves in that order haha

Nice car, way to keep getting it fixed. It seems to see more dents then race cars haha, but comes out straight again

[Ihatecars]

Stick with Silverstone!
Unless you go all out on a repaint they come out crappy. At least I feel so.
Different color door jams, trunk, etc. just bug the crap out of me.

Thank you! Yeah I definitely haven't had the greatest luck with dents haha. Hopefully this will be it for a while.

I feel the exact same way. Car will stay Satin Silverstone!
