No problemo

Nice work with that gold tape, I need to get some of that stuff.

Duct tape idea might be something worth looking into.. I'm just afraid it'll trap rain water down below the panel and if left standing too long not be pretty.

Did the new window guides and cleaning the contacts work well?

Are your power windows faster now?

[Benbrg]

Looks better without. Sometimes I think a trap lip would finish the front. Then sometimes I don't.

I already found pools of water on top of the panel, after I washed the car. I think that if it does trap water, then it will only remain if the car is sitting idly. I'll be sure to keep an eye on it though.

They did, I'm not so sure cleaning the contacts on my switch did anything aside from make the switch more clicky and less likely to return to a neutral position though. I didn't have any electrical grease lying around to replace the stuff I scraped out. As far as I know my switch never had a problem, I just cleaned it as preventative maintenance.

The window guides, along with cleaning and re-greasing the rails made the windows work perfect. Faster than ever and the same speed from the top all the way to the bottom, none of that creeping speed near the bottom of the track. I'm sure it reduced a lot of strain on the window motors and components to help them last longer too.

Talking about the Trap rear spoiler pictures I'm guessing?

I still want a BRG. I don't want to build your car, but I want the spirit of it.

Excellent work.

edit: and of course I work back through the thread and find oldcafe's car <3

[Benbrg]

No, no. The trap rear needs to go on!

I was actually talking about a trap front. It would bring the front end down, complementing the rear spoiler.

But is a bucktooth even compatible with a zoom bumper?

Anyways, car looks awesome!

Thanks bronto. You bringing up the spirit of my car made me realize, this one really does have spirit to me. My last miata was just a miata, it was fun and I connected with in it a sense, but not like this one.

Ah, okay! I don't think it would simply bolt on without flexing the bumper in some manner, but I would say it's "compatible." Maybe I'll find out one day.

AWD Stardust gauges and AWD Type Vintage rings chou happy!



bad night pic, while I was reassembling the cluster, a couple minutes before KINOD

[— fwdtamiya —]

Things I have waiting to be installed in the near future: 949 sway bar end links, new fuel filter, new clutch master cylinder, new clutch slave cylinder, motul dot4, motul gear oil for the tranny, diff and turret.

What I still need if I want to track this year: brake pads, brake discs, hubs/bearings, tires, 4 point bar, shifter rebuild, probably motor mounts. Ugh, I need to stop ricing.

But, I fixed my droopy a/c vents and installed my RSpeed vent rings to accent the AWDs.

^^Looks very Good!!!!!!!!

[etikoner]

Can you pull off the top pad and have a super sexy all tan dash? lol

[KAL]

Love the black NA-Products HVAC-panel! And of course the AWD-gauges.

I think that might be too much tan.

Stuff waiting to go in. I still need a shifter rebuild and more fluid before I get started.


And my sister finally finished my tan 1028 replica carpet after a couple of months. Had to shorten the wings because of some cuts in the carpet and I still need to clean this thing. Now I have to buy a tan shift boot and e brake boot too, ugh. I might have to buy a replica 1028 shift ring to polish as well.
