The Stock SR20 mounts fit soooo close lol!!! I wont have to modify them too much, just extent them a little lol

Intercooler pipe and greddy Type S bov installed!

Front bumper test fit to see where the intercooler will lay out, looks more and more like a car again

Had a few beers with my buddy xene, who just picked up a MR2 yeahhH!!!! and we started messing with the car, making up some one-off mirrors.

Not sure if they will be done, but I do have extra CF and resin, so why not right.

any suggestions, constructive criticism or opinions is always appreciated.

ya lol no worries. snags suck, but on swaps its to be expected... oh well.

Ya I need to take my mr2 out, its been forever since I drove her!

Some cool stuff should be coming really soon! Motor mounts should be here any day now, same with aero mirrors!

Got megan tension rods for 50 bucks!!!

Got into a car accident in my NB 2002 MX5 DD... my back hurts, and the car is pretty mesed up... hood is smashed, radiator support is bent, radiator busted, ac condensor cracked, passenger headlight and passenger fender destroyed and front bumper... FML...right before finals week.

but on a brighter note, 

Got my motor mount adapters in!!!

Motor finally fully bolted in

Thanks, Ya I am glad I was not hurt too. 1 because no one wants to be hurt. and 2, because I really did not want to be striped down naked in my own hospital by all my friends and coworkers lol! Its like a bad nightmare coming true!

I actually got really hooked up from the miata boards, got a new front bumper, fender, headlights, radiator, ac condenser, hood, and radiator support for 600 bucks! there goes the AE86 fund, but my car should be back on the road in a week when the body guys get done installing and painting it all!

So for now I am broke, and I will be stuck installing what parts I have for the AE86, but It might be a min before I get the last needed parts to get her running (fuel pump, driveshaft)

I did get some cool stuff from Nippon in!

AERO mirrors!!

well no updates on the ae86. But I figured I would post the damages to the mazda NB... looks sad...

But I got all the replacement parts so its on it was to get fixed.
