Post your car....a picture guide to who drives what...

[Doppelgänger]

I know some of us posted pictures of our cars in the intro thread, but I think it would be a good idea to have a dedicated thread just for pictures. To keep load times down and to make things easy.. only post ONE (1) picture of your car per post.. and only post another one AFTER someone has posted after you! This way we won't get anyone posting 20 pictures in a row and we can drool over one picture at a time.

I'll start with a teaser picture from a photoshoot I had last weekend...

Doesn't look exactly like this anymore. Montego trunklid, black seats and no other interior, and will have a rollbar next time anyone sees it, but this is close enough for now. :P

Kevin... the MSM headlights on the white look great! I really wish Mazda would have released the MSM in white like they did in Japan :(

[JDM88]

It always confuses me as to why companies decide not to release certain stupid things in different countries.

[thx712517]

I'm glad I spent the money on the MSM headlights. The originals on the car were fogged and getting some condensation inside. I'm REALLY glad I'm a Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development member, 'cause those headlights weren't cheap with my discount. List price is just.... insane. I'd love to put the MSM interior in the car, the black and red trim? I think that'd look just awesome.

Yeah it would. Does your car have the door panel inserts? (as in a raised/dimple textured area above the arm rest) If you do, you can get the red ones from the dealer for about $12 each... i ordered some from a Sinshen edition (blue) to go with my 10AE seats... installation was about an hour with basic tools... hell, i'd do it for ya if you ever decided to. This way you don't have to buy the whole door panel. Also, i don't think finding a set of red/black seats would be too hard.

[JDM88]

The red/black is actually stock??? There's a red Mazdaspeed Miata that parks in the same complex as me, I assumed they were just seat covers. That's quite cool actually. I wonder if there are any other similar mods for the NA's.

[MeFryRice]

Yes, the only color that didn't receive the red/black interior is the lava orange MSM. Lava Orange came with black leather.

[FE3tMX5]

My 90. Got it very cheap in 96 - owner had it repaired after a few 360s on 285. :D Has a mini cooper scoop installed in the hood as an extractor now.

Car does have the dimpled/raised inserts above the arm rest area. I called Gerald over at Jim Ellis and he was saying the inserts aren't available separately. I had a look on the Mazdaspeed Motorsports catalog, and although they're shown separately from the rest of the panel, I can't find a part number for 'em. Do you remember who you dealt with? Any Mazda parts guys wanna help a Saturn parts guy out?

Call Shawn in the parts department over at the same Jim Ellis and tell him you know me (the guy with the silver turbo miata with the 10th anniversary interior...he'll know). He knows what needs to be ordered. I'll try to get a part number for you. But yes, i know it's possible...because i ordered a set of blue ones myself.

Welcome nderwater and stealth! You both have some sick cars. Be sure to post up in the Introduce Yourself thread to get to know everyone here :)

[Doppelgänger]

nderwater - did you recently buy that car or have it up for sale? I saw it somewhere around here before....

The car looks great! I had a green 99, but have moved on to a 02 SE

[RotorNutFD3S]

nderwater - did you recently buy that car or have it up for sale? I saw it somewhere around here before....
I was going say the same thing. Pretty sure I saw it on Craigslist.

Nah.. we don't stalk CL :D

I don't know what you're talking about.

[nderwater]

funny everyone should ask, i was just talking with metalman about it.

I bought my M3 this spring to replace the Miata - it was irritating that I couldn't take my toddler anywhere in it and I wanted a fixed-roof ride to start doing track days again. Selling the car turned out to be more difficult than I expected though. I can't tell you how many people have asked me how hard it would be to take the turbo off!

The few buyers who were genuinely interested were put off by the car's two nagging issues - the exhaust manifold has a crack in it and the gearbox scrapes a bit going into fifth. I don't think I can't get a reasonable amount for the car until I got these things resolved, but I haven't had the time or money to do so (Get this: I was quoted $700 from AVO for a replacement and $350 from MazCare to install it!).

Long story short, I'm not in any hurry, so selling the car is on the backburner for now because I'm sick of taking the time to show the car and give test drives to people who aren't going to buy.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Refresh my memory, how much were you asking for it?

[nderwater]

I was trying to get $8K out of it... if I can't get close to that, I'd prefer to just keep it.

[Doppelgänger]

the exhaust manifold has a crack in it . I don't think I can't get a reasonable amount for the car until I got these things resolved, but I haven't had the time or money to do so (Get this: I was quoted $700 from AVO for a replacement and $350 from MazCare to install it!).




I bet if you just bought the mani, you'd just have to post up asking for some help in exchange for some pizza nd beer and someone will be sure to help ya:cool:

Got any pics of the turbo/manifold assembly?

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yup. Free food and drinks attracts help like flies.
Manifolds are not that difficult to uninstall/reinstall.
In any case, I'll relay that info to a friend of mine that's shopping for a pre-boosted Miata. Not sure what his budget is at the moment, so no promises.

[nderwater]

I'm not afraid to dig in and swap the manifold myself, I was just really surprised at what I was quoted for it to be done. I had been looking into getting the current manifold welded, but once I got the heat shield off, it was obviously toast:

[metalman]

I have seen other AVOs cracked that same way. Bummer.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Damn and that's a cast iron manifold right? how often do you boosted fella's run into these problems?

[nderwater]

Turbo manifolds have a finite life span. this one didn't have a ton of miles on it, but over the years had been through thousands of heat cycles. I'm not that bent up about having to replace it, I just wish that AVO wasn't asking so much for a new one. I've found other turbo manifolds for half the price, but they would require too much re-engineering of the turbo and exhaust plumbing to be worth the cost savings.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Cast log manifolds don't typically run into problems like these. What I also notice about the AVO manifold is that it does not have the recommended stress relief cuts in it. Probably the cause of the crack.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

How susceptible are the typical aluminum ones to this?

[Doppelgänger]

depends on the mfg.

Ebay? 100% chance of fail.
ETD = good stuff
new FM = good stuff
BEGI = good stuff



Oh, look into JGS manifolds, I bet you could get one of those and pretty much copy the AVO so you don't have to a) buy from AVO ; b)fab a new dp. Check them out... http://jgsturbo.com/index2.html

[RotorNutFD3S]

I saw your car this past Sunday at the show. I have a picture too, but you have a slight blemish in your driver's side fender.

[lgroadster95]

slight is kinda a understatement did you see the passenger side too.

[metalman]

The whole car is a 'slight blemish'....probably caused by fat ricers sitting on it at the Gwinnett Sonic meet! :lol:

j/k........ ;)

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah, I did. I called it a blemish so as to not sit here and say, "Dude, you have some serious dents in your car". Didn't want to call you out like that. lol

[lgroadster95]

really funny! i'm sorry the car is just at the perfect height to sit on.

ive go an Ebay manifold you can have... guy sold me the down pipe and manifold for $25 (then i found out it was Ebay...

if you want i know an AMAZING welder who could probably fix the one you have for like $20... EASY

SOME NEW STUFF Joe and I ADDED

[ben91]

heres one with the hardtop on.

wow, what a nice hardtop.

it would look better if your hood actually fits. :lol:

[GraffitiPanda]

those are hood gappers... They makem for all cars... Allows engine heat to blow off.

[RotorNutFD3S]

And it's also known that they don't do a good job and will compound your problems if you are having overeating issues. Which is normally why people will try this in the first place. Now if you are doing 15mph or less everywhere you go, you're in good shape.
Take care of it properly, install better fans and make a shroud.
That's what Ben was saying.

[lgroadster95]

heres one with the hardtop on.

wow, what a nice hardtop.

You should like it i got from you!!!

[Doppelgänger]

Don't worry Nick and Ben, i've already been through what happens with the hood risers with him :lol:

Glad to see ya made it over!!

Nick, the manifold/kit on his kit is a 1.8 AVO kit...*if* you had a 1.8 manifold, it still wouldn't fit because the AVO has a rather unique turbo mounting position, which would require a new down pipe and intake routing :( It sucks that cast iron can't be patched....

[Doppelgänger]

Oh, some of you need to go back to school and take reading comprehension.... I politely asked for 1 (ONE) picture per post to help keep things easy to view and faster to load lol

[RotorNutFD3S]

lol I guess reading the first post was necessary to get that information. I just looked through the pictures. Then again, I didn't post my own pictures until I had posted in the thread a few times. lol

[lgroadster95]

the hood risers would be gone but i lost the factory bolts to hold the hood. come on we both know nik cant read.

In person it looks like it's a pretty close match....

[ben91]

Heh. I assure you that you don't want to get me started on engine bay extraction. I doubt anyone has experimented and cut into hoods as much as I have. Let's just say that these "risers" actually do the opposite of what is intended, that is unless the intention was to present the JDM Fanboi Mad Tite Drifter look--and if so, then that is achieved. :jawdrop:

[ben91]

Yeah and it's so much nicer than my "new" hardtop, it's not even funny. The one I picked up the next day was so grossly misrepresented it was comical. And I was pissed. I'm still kind of pissed.

Still have the defrost cable if you want it.

[Doppelgänger]

In person it looks like it's a pretty close match....

Actually, it's an exact match... you just have to get the right angle.

[MeFryRice]

Who did the paint work?

[Doppelgänger]

Magnum Collision.

It looks different because the hood and the bumper don't meet at the same angle. They meet at a slight point, which reflects the light differently..which makes it look like two different colors. Look at where the sides of the bumper meet the fender.. they match because they meet at the same angle. I'll post a side shot and you can see what im talking about.

[MeFryRice]

Magnum does good work. They were going to repair my previous M3 before the insurance company considered it totalled. (I told them I didn't want it back as it had been wrecked).

[Doppelgänger]

Precisely why i took it to them. Jenn had some work done on her Miata and MINI over there and honestly you cannot tell anything ever happened.

I'm actually working on trimming the stock bumper support to fit under the GV bumper in an attempt to push up on the bumper to try to make it match the angle of the hood.

P.S., I just pulled the stock leather steering wheel off of mine. It's pretty much mint. Dunno if you're going for something aftermarket soon, but if you want one to get by on, I'll let it go cheap. The one in the pic looks a little battered.

Nice find. Crazy low mileage.

Ahh okay. Let me know if you ever want to upgrade to a 90-93 dash. ;)
Great candidate for OEM oil sender and gauge swap too. Hmmm..now who

Finally Steve is no longer an outsider because of his car!

[MeFryRice]

I'm not good with the mesh style wheels... most of them look the same to me :(

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I love mesh wheels. I particularly like the ones with gold in, I think there were some nice volks once upon a time I desired.

I agree. I wouldn't mind having a set of SSR Super Mesh Formulas. :)

Oh I love those!!

[LagunaRoadster]

Ben91 - do you have a hardtop? I think I saw your car at an Rspeed open house a long time ago..

[MeFryRice]

Stephen, if you're referring to his 10AE, then that was not him as he just got the car a couple weekends ago.

[LagunaRoadster]

Stephen, if your referring to his 10AE, then that was not him as he just got the car a couple weekends ago.

Oh okay. Thanks!

[ben91]

Yes, but you did not.

[wildfire0310]

Ben91 - do you have a hardtop? I think I saw your car at an Rspeed open house a long time ago..

Stephen, you met Ben before. He was at the last Mellow Mushroom meet we went to. Silver NA with black hood and 6uls.

[LagunaRoadster]

Oh oh! ok, now I remember. I have horrible memory.

[MeFryRice]

oops...

[ben91]

negative sir, incorrect. i was not.

[MeFryRice]

I thought you were? You were at the firehouse subs place...

[ben91]

that was C&O

[MeFryRice]

duh, me retarded...

[Doppelgänger]

[ben91]

Mike (dopple),
I don't think I've ever seen an "average" pic of your car, let alone a bad one. Always looks sharp

[Doppelgänger]

Those pics are sucked into a magic black hole :lol:

[ben91]

And when they come out the other side... the pics are still bad but of my car.

[Doppelgänger]

I told you i'd show you have to utilize your damn camera! It's not hard at all...

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I think it's some sort of photogenic mod he has done to the car where it automatically makes cameras out perform their usual self.

[ben91]

I told you i'd show you have to utilize your damn camera! It's not hard at all...Yeah one day, one day...

[Pitt]

Thanks!

Like all others have said. Your's is a supermodel. Picture perfect everytime. A kodak disposable pic would look great. WUT IZ UR SEKRIT?

Here's an updated pic for you guys. I now have a satin hardtop. The "JDM" tag just looked right :P It really looks good on the AllTrac.

Synth - aren't those the wheels that were on Garnet?

Kris- i'm really curious as to how your car would look with the GV lip painted to match the car.. i'd imagien it would be pretty friggin hott..it would really flow with the side skirts.

[Pitt]

I was thinking the same about his GV lip. I like the way it looks, but it gets lost.

[RotorNutFD3S]

That's what I've told him too. However, in person, the lip stands out very well, I think some pictures just don't capture it well.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

+1 on the lip. It looks good already but your white NB looks really white as is and seen as you already have the white skirts it would set it off quite nicely. To use the old cliche it would look hella jdm.

They came off Cindy's car - which I only knew as Dreamboat Annie...

wait what?! That's two new white NA's I've discovered on here! I'm not liking this! :lol: This is too much to handle, I'm going to do some spending I'll regret soon!

[RotorNutFD3S]

:lol: You've got competition now! :D

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I've got some appearance plans to turn it up a notch. May take a little while or at least until I get some work this summer.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah, you and me both on the appearance side. I'm planning on doing all my body work the week after the 4th of July, we're on a 1 week shutdown, so I'll have the time to do it. Just gotta order my new AWR flares at some point before that.

i've thought about painting it white many times. i like it black cuz it stands out, especially since i painted my spoilers black to match. i just wish i could see it white on my car before actually deciding to do it.

[MeFryRice]

It's called photoshop. :p

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Here's an absolutely dreadful photoshop I just did of it...

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Just be sure to squint your eyes!

[jzilla]

:lol: my eyes are naturally squinted. still dreadful.

[GVfanatic]

still dont know how i feel. to many mixed feelings

[Sawyer]

Here's another really quick one for you Kris.

[MeFryRice]

Wow. Talk about color matching fail. :p

[Sawyer]

Yeah **** you too! I said "quick" :smackhim:

[metalman]

The problem with painted spoilers, especially light colors, is that they soon look like ***.....too close to road debris and speed bumps etc.
