I'll just skip to the good stuff here as no one likes a long story.
Bought car, lowered, blew head gasket, fixed. Put in some 5GC cams and a header at the same damn time. Drove, let friend drive for a while, got back. Head asked blew again, did again. Motor started knocking, and here we are. The go: --1MZ swap in the bay, awaiting wiring --S54 with welded diff The stop: --5x114 swap in progress (I still need wheels) --V6 Camry brakes The dance: --Tein Stechs --GR2s --Rebuilt rear end --GT4 rear tower bar The show: --2post --OEM 15s painted black (for now) The beats: --Sony Bt2900 --Alpine Speakers The glasses: --HID lows --Yellow highs This post has been edited by bnr32celica: Oct 12, 2013 - 6:16 PM |

And there is a time where it pays to have good karma.
I located the car, and was able to retrieve her with no issues. The car is going to my uncle's house, where she will have a nice warm bedroom. I do have another issue however. My harness builder has gone MIA with my harness. A setback, yes, but I will get it done nonetheless. Manny, Dustin, and Stef came through Sunday, and it gave me that shot in the arm I needed. So yes, she will be completed, but I'm not rushing it. I have now set a goal of completion by spring including bodywork. |

Best of luck on getting it done. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
