Dent doesn't look too bad, and luckily the back side is easily accessed. A paint-less dent repair specialist should have no problem at all with it.

Also, nice shoes.

That or if you or someone you know has any body working experience it's something you could do yourself, basically you'll need a heat gun and some rubber mallets.

Also my guess for what's in the box is side-skirts.

too short to be side skirts. gotta be an exhaust.

My initial thought was cat-back, but it looks like he already has some kind of aftermarket setup. My other guess is coil-overs.

No it was my manifold and downpipe the first part to arrive for my exhaust system, im just waiting for the last parts to arrive from Japan at the end of the month.

You should have turned the wheel to the left and photoshopped in some dirt and rocks going everywhere. Or done it for real, whatever. tongue.gif

Right so as you saw i just had my Manifold and down pipe arrive and i thought im too impatient to wait till the rest of exhaust arrives so im going to fit it this weekend.

well i got as far as opening the bonnet and taking the heat shield off before i had to stop because i realised i did not have enough tools to get the job done right, so its back to the shop for more tools. mad.gif

So now for the first time in a while we had a bit of sun and my mate (FrostBiitez) had just had a delivery of plasti dip so what better to do than spray my block for my spoiler black while he sprayed his wheels.





tried my spoiler on FrostBiitez car to see what it would look like when his arrives in a couple of weeks.



some high tech spray stand here



time for spraying





wipe off some over spray and....















so Before



and after



Not bad for a first attend ever spraying Plasti dip

next up spray the rest of the car in it. o and sort out all the dents biggrin.gif
Its turned out so sick mate!, I'm waiting till this weekend to bush of my over spray and upload my wheels lol
well my car died yesterday on the way to work.

clutch and radiator went in the same day, so its going to be off the road for the next couple weeks.

I have ordered all the new parts and i was going to do the clutch my self but just don't have the tools or facility's to it myself so i'm just going to send it in.
Kind of odd the clutch would go without any kind of warning, generally you'll have signs of slippage. You did make sure it wasn't the hydraulics first?

2001 Miata LS 5-speed
i knew the clutch was going to go soon but i thought i might be able to get more out of it before it started slipping.

i can at least still drive it to the garage to get fixed thats why im taking it off the road now.
Just float the gears, who needs a clutch anyway. tongue.gif

Can anyone help me, i recently bought the above manifold and down pipe from ebay and it turns out that it doesnt fit at all the manifold holes do not line up with the engine block.

Could you guys let me know what model my Celia is as i thought it was a ST202 and also what manifold you guys would recommend?


ahh yeah can see why .first your st202 has the crap slow engine and is hassle for parts and to mod . and your st202 is the SS1 . you realistically wanted the uk version GT or import SS2 like mine with the much better 3SGE 175BHP if you decide to keep that car i would not bother putting money in to that engine and just find a uk GT or import SS2 model 3SGE engine and is a very easy swap and easy to find and fairly cheap like £300-400 as for that manifold its for the 3sge engine . i know because i have one and does say in the ad its for the 3sge model . so remember your model is the SS1 . and so you know when you decide to get new discs yours will be listed as import model 255 size discs and pads you will have to do some research

any more info just ask bro smile.gif
The header you bought is for a 3S block regardless, so my advice is to use a burr drill bit like this:

Basically all you need to do is widen the mounting holes a little so they will line up with the bolts. I had to do that with mine because of it being a generic corolla header for the 7A, gotta love generic aftermarket parts. Of course your motor like mine is the FE or economy model motor, not saying that should stop you from anything but do your research on engine parts and upgrades before committing to them. There are members on here like Tigawoods and hurley97 who have taken FE models and made them more of a sports engine. Keep the progress coming thumbsup.gif
