well the 88 se i got a couple weeks ago is starting to get there. last week removed all the wiring hasrnesses from the car cleaned them up, solderd any nessisary connections, and what not. the car also came w/ little to no interior and what it did come with still remains in a large box that im resisting trowing out lol but any way so while i had the whole interior is gutted i figured i will id redo everything from carpet to interior pieces b/c the car had blu interior, ewww and i plan to make a show car out of it. so i embarked on the mission and got prices for almost evey thing my parts guy now hates me lol. carpet and insulation for dealer $1000+ no ******* way would i take that route. so i spent countless hours searching to find a cheaper but better alternative. i found alot of u guys were removing the stock deadener and were replacing it with aftermarket insulation products. so i found this website with the help of another forum memeber. http://www.secondskinaudio.com/index.php

here i found exactly what i needed i orderd 120sq ft of damplifier, 9sqft of luxury liner, 9sq ft of overkill, and 9sq ft of heatwave. so i recieved it the other day and finaly got a chance to install all of it. i had prepped the floor pans and hatcharea last week for the **** it was a pain in the *** but worth it. so i just went to it. first, i layed the damplifier every where but the roof and doors, still have enough damplifier to do them next week. then i layed the overkill on top of the damplifier using 3m super spray adhesive i stuck it to where the bins sit, and where the drivers and pasengers *** and legs go, then i layed the heatwave (good stuff) from the fire wall and all the way down the transmission tunnles top and sides then i layed down the luxuryliner witce is a really nice mat material over the overkill for the driver and passanger *** and leg and used this really good insulated aluminum tape my father gave me that is used for ducting to hold down everything w/ the 3m stuff. i felt comfortable leaving the back hatch areas just covered w/ just the damplifier b/c im using the stock hatch carpet and insulation covered in black leather and stiched together. the front however i was just going to lay some new nice black carpet my mother could get me for free, but found that after market places make a molded carpet for our car thats realtivly cheap so i am gonna opt for that, i still have to order it though. then once i get the carpet i can put in the blk dash i have for it. the only thing left interior wise for me to do is to dye my grey s4 panels black b/c s4 models dont come in black. the engin bay(front end) is completely gutted not even the fenders bumper and lights are on the car. i have started prepping the front end and engine bay for a nice thick gloss black paint job. i am a im the progress of ordering corksport 30mm wide body fenders, so that i can put my sleek light bumper on and start fitting it along with the rest of the kit so i can get the body panited a nice pearl white. also have a apexi pfc and commander on its way from japan so i can get this thing properly tuned. my monster ported turbo motor. right now im running the bnr stg 4 on it with the rtek but i got rid of the rtek so i am thinking about puttin the turbo on my DD 91 tII and get a gt40r for the se. oh yeah i still have to swap the diff and 5 lug hubs and calipers off my other car. thats about it for now il keep u guys posted. btw its nice to have a car that i dont have to drive and another just for parts lol

jwteknix

carpets in, dash is in interior of the car now looks brand new still have to wrap the center consol in black leather and spray the remander of the grey interior pieces black w/ this really good plastis die, the mazda speed seats are soo nice also have to figure out whether or not in gonna keep the sunroof or not and then i guess make a head liner? i should be getting the engine bay painted later this week hopefully but its supossed to snow, then i can put the engine in. i have my whole ss braided line brake system sitting in a box am running all -an lines and fitting and b&m launch control like kevin set his up just need a new master. at the moment im working on my fuel delivery setup, im gonna make some sick **** but that will be saved for another thread lol. last night i finished wiring my fc coils for the pfc. so every things basically getting there ill keep you guys posted

well, a little update, yesterday I worked on the interior a little bit more, died some of the interior pieces w/ this spray stuff and to my surprise it looks and worked well. I tried to scuff and scrap it of after I appied a coat and let it dry, but it would not come off this stuff is pretty solid. Just have to mount the seats in and then i can play around with the sunroof so that i can put the headliner and rest of the interior peices back in. today i should be getting the engine bay painted black, so i can finally put the engine in w/the rest of the harnesses and run all the ss fuel and brake lines. Just need new master cylinders and slave for the brakes and clutch. I already have all the caliper, t fittings, hose and ends. Also, got speed bleeders and line lock for the brakes. Fuel, I decided to go w/ an external pump ,but utilize the stock tank so I made my own tank assembly to use the stock fuel level sensor w/ a -10an 90 degree bulk head for the feed to the pump and a -6an 90 bulkhead for the return. on the bottom of the -10an bulkhead in the tank i have a aeromotive 100 micron filter as a pre pump filter, as for a pump i decided to go w/ aeromotive a1000 -10an inlet and outlet. Where it will go to a y block w/ 2 -8an outlets then to 2 earls 85 micron -8an inline filters to kg rails then -6an to the fpr and back to the tank. So what u guys think?

Engine bay is now painted. The guy who does our mazda body work for us and his brother came over and primed it sprayed 2 black coats of this stuff he claims to be awsome, its called glass something idk. Then sprayed 2 clear coats. Looks really good he painted almost everything from the windsheid forward basically every thing youd see with out the fenders and bumpers on. im getting a new phone next week hopefully so ill get some pix up soon. at least im one step closer.
