Looks very good! Do you have a pic of the whole car with the hood open? I want to see the valve cover from a far perspective cause I think I might paint mine white lol

What angle/s do you want? I will take whatever pictures you'd like tomorrow once there is some light.

Looking good so far, can't wait to see whats next!!

Thanks! It'll be some little things. I have a few things I need to do for maintenance before I put more money into what I really want to.

Just a front shot where you can see the engine bay and the whole car. Thanks Austin! I appreciate it

Ok, sounds good. I will do that tomorrow morning.

Hopefully these will do. Just a few cell phone pictures.

I think I'm going to loop the steering rack. I find I don't feel very connected to the road. All roads, regardless of conditions, feel the same through the steering wheel. It's just too light, if you will, for my liking.

Thanks so much! White definately looks good on your black car. I think I'm set on the color white on my teg

 

[treeafodo]

No problem Mike. It's a nice color, I think it'll work well on your car.

Looks sweet man, Good job!

I've been thinking about looping the steering rack for a little while now. I find that the steering is too light for my liking. No matter what the weather or road conditions are like the road feels the same. I feel like there's no input from the road to my hands. So I ran out to Home Depot just now and picked up the barb fitting and teflon tape that I would need.

When I got home there was a small box waiting for me. Yes, my computer chair is an NB Miata seat.

Where the lines and reservoir were. I need to wipe this down, but it was starting to rain.

Looking good! How's driving it without p/s?

the level of clean in your engine bay puts even Mr Clean to shame sir.

I've only gone around my block which is low speed, but so far I like it. I'll go for a drive after work tonight and let you know.

:lol: thank you! I'm going to sig this once I'm on the computer. It's honestly not that clean though. There's a lot of room for improvement hence the amount of time I spend on it.

Update: After driving it, I have to say I really like it. It feels just like how my racing kart steered. It is exactly what I was looking for. It will be staying like this until I get a proper manual rack set up.
