Well I rented a second garage at my apt, so that I can get my stuff out of storage in lubbock and put it in storage here.
BUT until I go get the stuff I have a spare garage to do the Greddy Install. I am driving back from SC on Friday night, so I was thinking about starting the Greddy Turbo install on the BRG on Saturday afternoon/evening....
Any takers to help out? I will provide beer & pizza for those who sojourn through dinner time.....
Chris
You gotta a hand right here!
Well... since my Saturday evening is free, now... Sounds like great fun to me!!! I can't believe you're driving straight back, though... So many fun roads in that neck of the woods!
I moved this over to Impromptu Events! :brilsmur:
Cool! This is exciting! I think MonsterM may be comming by as well!
Hey PM me your address and phone number. I may be able to drop by if my mother doesn't come into town and blow my Saturday :oops:
Way OT, but... if you change a "y" to an "e" in your post (as my dyslexic brain did when I read it), it sounds really really bad...Quote:

Back In Town! 14 hours on the road yesterday, that was a long trip, but my car is faster then it was.... mmmmmmm turbo......
Brant is really cool, a very nice fellow!
2pm is the starting time. I need to get some lights at home depot and some extra jackstands as mine are currently under the fiat.
I will PM directions...
I wont be offended if you bring extra tools... :oops:
So how did it go? I ended up in the garage installing gauges.
Indeed. How'd it go? (Damn, I'm bummed I missed it!)

Threebean, Tailchaser and MonsterM made it out for the install and the lions share of it is done. Many Thanks to them for their help!
We started around 2ish and Threebean and Tailchaser left around 11pm.
I bunged up one of the instake studs, so if anyone has one off of a 1.6l, I can make a trip to come and see you.... faster then mazdamotorsports....
The only things left are the install of the stud in the intake, the routing of the turbo to afm pipe (i installed a blow off valve recirculation pipe at the wrong angle, so I am thinking about a custom intake and researching a little.), bov, and finding a home for the cruise control.
I think Tailchaser has some pics he might post....
Chris
Cool, I wish I could have made it out there, but my plans were foiled. I did however find some time to wash and wax the Miata :)
Looks GREAT :thumrigh:
HOw many do you need? Ive got lots. I can overnight them to you or you can pick them up at Monkey's. Let me know.Quote:

What time does traffic die down?
I found a plug for the superfulous hole in my turbo/intake, so I should be able to put it on the ground and run it tonight. Anyone want to come over and see if she runs?
Especially anyone from Ft. Worth???
Chris
Sunday Afternoon about 5pm :DQuote:

exactly. There is a metric bolt place on the way home from work, so I am gonna try there. I'll let you know if I'm gonna head that direction, but I think they have bolts that I can use.....
Chris
FYI..VatoZone has a good selection of bolts.Quote:

Danny
We were doing what we could.... and I appreciated the time that you were there!
Monkey, can I come over tonight and get that exhaust stud????
Thanks,
Chris
Sorry wasn't online much yesterday....you can come by anytime, just give me a call and I'll make sure to be there :)
Well I made good progress tonight, I installed the BOV, the intake pipe and afm, located the cruise control. I still need to finalize the oil return line route, install the last exhaust stud, install boost and air/fuel guage and I am ready to roll....
It is all starting to come together....
Chris
Where to???Quote:
