This business travel is really eating into my car building time - but, it pays the bills... Travel again next week - Ugh!
- I mounted the engine again and moved the radiator mounts forward to accommodate.
- Installed the new Mishimoto Radiator, with dual fans in a puller setup (mock up only at this point).
- Moved the A/C condenser mounting tabs forward (mock up).
- Ordered a FM sway bar - we'll see what adjustments I need to make when it arrives
- Removed the engine again
- Fabbed up a shift lever for the stock T56 to mount the Miata shift ball
- Used a piece of 3/16x1 bar stock, 3 1/2 inches long, drilled holes and welded a metric stud to it - painted it (all scrap stuff that I had laying around), so if it doesn't work out - nothing lost...
- Stripped the Miata ECU wiring from the chassis wiring (praying I didn't totally screw something up).
- Drilled hole in Firewall for the PCM wires to traverse - I am going to mount the PCM in the passenger floor (up front). I will use a seals-it split firewall grommet to finish and protect the wires.
I am going to try a home-made lizzard skin. 1 gallon kool seal roofing elastomeric, with 1 QT ceramic spheres from these folks http://www.hytechceramics.com/
Back at it next week... Pictures promised.
