I wish kev would help me out a little but whatever. i went and bought a couple more cans of the dye i was using to spray all my interiot **** black. i got all the peices cleaned, painted, and put in the car so the interior is almost done it looks great. i have to get a some pix

got the fucker running good! now it needs an exhaust, tune, and makeover.

Today, I got alot done.

I removed the rear lights, bumper and moldings from the car.

Then I decided that I wanted to see the fitment of the rear bumper of the body kit I have and to my surprise it wasnt too bad, it is a little wavy tho.

After, motivation kicked in and I decided to do as much of the exhaust work myself as possible due to making numerous call to find out towing was gonna cost me as much as the exhaust work for a less then ten mile round trip lol. so i fixed a couple of brakets and remounted the one peice exhaust up and marked the length and angle that needed to be cut. then I pulled the exhaust back off, so tomorrow I can cut it. I just have to find a 2.5in flange that is the same shape of the one on the dp I have.

here some pix (yes I know the exhaust isnt even!!). more tomorrow

Just got off the phone w/ mazdatrix and ordered up a few goodies. got a couple of flanges god forbid I do **** one up ill have a spare and not have to wait for a replacement, did the same w/ the gaskets. also just got bent over for a pair of new crystal white door handles b/c both of mine are broken and I cant put the doors together w/o them or have it painted.

jwteknix 05-17-2008 04:38 PM

Didnt do **** to the SE today, well can't really do much, until I get in my mazdatrix order and Innovate Lm1 wideband. It was such a nice day out today, I couldnt let it go to waste, so I cleaned and fixed up the 91 tII. started w/ filling her up w/ some 93 and some 2 stroke oil. Then cleaned out the garbage on the interior, wiped everything down and organized. then i cleaned the outside looks great w/o all the pollen and dirt on the car lol. then the exhaust recently the exhaust started squeeking on me and its been driving me ******* insane so I took care of that and a minor exhaust leak.

Then off to radio shake I went to get some LEDs and wire ends so, I could make the diag connector tool to verify my TPS adjustment w/ the DVOM. The TPS was out of adjustment so I got it dead on and the car drives like new now. I think tomorrow I'll pull off all my ground connections, clean them up, and run some additional ones.

got the wideband all hooked up and got some logs now I have to just figure out how to get the car running better. More soon hopefully

jwteknix 06-02-2008 01:45 PM

well took a well needed break on the car. went back at it again today, got the exhaust all mocked up just need it welded one more time but for the time being i can deal w/ the small leak compare to it being open DP. finished laying the last of the dyno mat in the doors mounted and hooked up my new door handles, fixed up the last minor coolant leak, mounted up my fuel line unde the car, also pulled out the last of the valuable peices in my TII parts car before it gets junked. now just have to get some more body peices and then i can bring it up to enzo and rob. tomorrow ill fix the last of my wiring to get it all professional looking then thats about it. need o wire some door speakers and a amp in too but that just luxury **** most of the interior **** is done too.

jwteknix 06-24-2008 10:56 AM

ok I slowed down a bit I was trying to do to much to the car at once with out a really good income so I decided to putt all the stock body panels back on so that once its tuned it can be temperary driven till I get a real job and can afford to get rob to paint it the way I want. just need to get mr. Bs boost contoler and an ignition amp to get it tuned thats about it
