Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

they dont fit on a spyder since there is in curved glass. you can keep the the stock low wing or put the eclipse high wing on it only for oem. It will not have a wing on it at all looks better with out it.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

it is nice out today 42 so worked on the car a little bit.
put the 10in fan on. found a boost controler in the garage and drilled a hole in it to bolt it to the radiator. Also reused the old alum amp rack from the car to hold the over flow tank.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Found rims today for the car. Paided 750.00 for them. Just going to plasti dip them for now till I figure out what color I want them powder coated later on. They are rota grind's 17x9 +25 with Dunlap 245/45/17
Takata green just does not look good on the car.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Rims look nice besides the color! haha

Can't wait to see this thing out and about

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Hot Pink!

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

LOL takata green wheels don't look good on ANY vehicle. Can't wait to see them another color. That New bronze that powderkeg has looks nice.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

What color is the car going to be in the future?

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Not on the Spyder the only hot pink will be the valve cover. The Evo is the hot pink car

I like the bronze or might do some silver color. But for now plasti dip flat black till I need new tires on them then I will have them coated.

I will repaint it the factory color. I looked for a while for this color In a Spyder when I bought the car in 99.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

had this waiting for me when I got home last night from work.

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...217_104613.jpg
4bar map and plug and play harness since I am feeling lazy

Now just waiting for the front diffuser to show up next week.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

woot! Do you still need anything else to get it running?

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Just need some vac lines for the mbc and map sensor,fill the coolant up,get some e85 and get link in it.hope to have it going this week end.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Woo! Coming along nicely. I dig the rims, a bronze would look great on them.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

got it all together this weekend and it would not start. No spark or fuel. The evo 2 (94 dsm) cas was bad so swapped it with the one from the evo. That fixed that problem. The wally 255 would not turn on at all so. Chris stopped by with his spare pump and that fixed the problem.

Yesterday went up to DB and talked to shane and got a good deal on new parts just. Picked up a new wally 255 just have to mod it now and a aremotive afpr since I sold the BR/SX bolt on one.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...222_102117.jpg

I did not get time to get them put in yet since we had more things to do then had to call the EMT's at trader joes. Emma turned grey and went limp in the cart. It was scary as hell. She is ok now Craig is going to take her in today.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Looks like you just need to button up some things now. :)

Almost there!

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

It is almost there. Just have to get all the parts in,re wire the pump. Spin up the coilovers since it is way to low for the new rims and tires. (Car is droped 3.5in right now) then have to get an aliment and up to shane to get tuned. It is so close it is so nice to get it going after 10+ years of sitting apart.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Nice, look forward to seeing this thing on the road sometime when I'm up there. Maybe the cruise?

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

taking it on the cruise is the plan since I sold the hatch

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Lookin good. Keep the wheels green. Maroon, pink and green are hawt colors together. :D

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Pink is one thing but hell no on the green they were just a great deal that I could not pass up.
The car will only be 2 colors :) stock cayenne red pearl and the red talon skirts and rear bumper. It will be on the list to paint also lol.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

new bumper was here when I got home for work.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...223_230452.jpg
now to keep the green 2gb talon bumper or sell it

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

got the afpr put on the car. mounted it were there was 2 holes that are factory so that is were it went for now. I might more it some time but did not want to drill holes in the the car. Also put in the wally 255 that is modded.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...225_181025.jpg
Got the color matched 2gb talon bumper put on. Got it trimmed just to make it fit. look 1000 times better than the green one since it match's the car.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...226_143317.jpg

I raised the car up today also. 1/4in in the front and 1/2in in the back. So no I should have plenty of room for the new rims. The rear Qt. panels now have 1.75in from tire to Qt. panel. Before I could just get a finger between them.

I went to start it for the 1st time and the miata battery is junk so I have to get a new battery tomorrow.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

had craig get me a new miata battery since the one was junk.

Today I scored 2gb talon door strip's and a talon 2gb rear bumper both of them are cayenne red pearl so the car will be all one color but the 2ga talon twisty skirts that are red. Just have to wait to for them the show up.

the front diffuser will be her on friday also.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Car is looking great! What do you plan to do with that green 2gb bumper?

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Are you going to use talon or 95-96 headlights?

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

I think he said somewhere he modified the bumper to fit 97+ headlights.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

the green bumper was sold the day the new one showed up
Yes I have the center cut out of a junked 2gb eclipse bumper the I will be cutting up and using to fill the gaps in the talon bumper to the 2gb head lights. I am doing it since I have never liked the 2ga head lights at all. It will have the gaps till I do the body work and paint it.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

W00t for single color cars!

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Ah ok. Was just curious.

Another idea would be to just paint the 2ga headlights, well the inside housings anyways. It would be a lot easier rather than having to do a lot of body work.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

I am a body tech so it is no big deal for me to mod the bumper. I dont like the design of the 2ga head lights that is why I am going to mod the bumper it self

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Is a body tech the same as a painter? If so how come no paint on cars? :(

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Same thing. Kevin and I painted my old 92 talon. Other than that I have been slowly replacing all the tools that were stolen from me so I can do the body work and paint cars.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

last night I had to big boxes in the garage when I got home from work. Just got around to opening them up.

2gb talon door strips

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
 

Got the strips on the car. Big thanks to tonyseagle for making a template for me.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...304_132029.jpg
got the holes marked,drilled, and painted the bare metal.

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...304_165732.jpg

now the not so happy. I did not even think about it the front diffuser is for a eclipse 2gb bumper and not a talon 2gb bumper. So the holes are in the wrong spots. With it lined up with the holes it does not stick out the 2in that it should. I moved it out the 2in so it is right and I like the way it looks.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...304_173006.jpg
and the problem
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...304_172927.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...304_172935.jpg
3.5in to short to the back of the bumper :(
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...304_173053.jpg
So it looks like I will be selling it now
