So with the change of plans, your car will be on the road in 2013?
heh. pretty much.. it would help to get a running car so i can get a job.. idk why the hell my turbo kit won't sell... you can thank brian for doing this to me..
know anyone interested, with cash, in a turbo kit/ems?
Nope...sorry. The fact that is isn't common doesn't help all the noobs...unfortunately
BTW, any chance you can take a picture of the 4th wheel (Enkei) you have for sale? I only saw 3 in your ad. As well, the very interested local party would like to know if what looks like scratches on the 3rd picture are in fact just a lighting effect...

nothing at all is wrong with it. i just wanna do my own thing.. and i need the money, to get my msp.. i need the msp for a dd, so i can get a job..
the enkeis are all in perfect shape. all 4 are fine, the "scratches" are just dust, cuz they're up sitting in my shop, doing nothing.

well fellas today was a day for the history books.. step one in the new story.. anyways..
i took off my roof scoop.. i'm gonna buy a cf roof cap.. i pulled the heater core and a/c s*** out.. pulled out the dash..i pulled the power steering rack and pump out totally- just need to source a 99 protege non ps rack for that... umm.. i'm going to put up for sale a bunch of new s***.. like, my medieval pullies.. airbag...etc..
as soon as i start selling s*** and getting my job back, i'll be doing more stuff. wiring and what not. gotta start somewhere!

well. the other day i got up to the shop and did a little here and there.. basically, the dash is out. so i pulled all the unnecessary vents and such from the dash back, and i sprayed the entire inside of it with sound dampener.. this stuff looks good just about anywhere... lol. as it is in my engine bay, and interior.. i will be spraying my trunk interior as well as the hood. and fender wells..
starting to look good. now that i sold my turbo kit.. i should be more easily ready to get the msp.. when that happens, i can get a job and really start on this mess of a car!!

well.. that's what i'm going for... the msp is going to be my dd/beater.. i wanted a reliable one.. i've had many 500-1000.00 beaters.. not worth the time.. so.. a decent DD.. get a job.. pay off all of my debt.. then do the lx.

Give it a little while and I am sure you will start modding your DD. It is the demise of all of us with the mod bug, can't leave any car alone. lol

If you have a bunch of pictures of the turbo install that would be awesomely helpful. Or just more in general, for reference.

check the beginning of the thread.
Great job and dedication
Man that is alot of money and time that you put in to this vehicule.
But as long as you are happy with it is money well spend.
I am about to do the same with my 1997 mustang GT conv.
Keeping the modifications in the mazda to the minimun; for gas saving purposes .
BTW; how much have you spend on all this?
