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

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.

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.
