ComicArtist Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Got the battery relocation finished yesterday. There's not a whole lot of room in the hatch, so I'll probably be getting a Miata battery and cutting a hole in the hatch floor so it'll sit down lower. The 4g wire we sell at work is shitty, so I just got a set of Kobalt jumper cables, cut off the alligator clips, crimped on connectors and battery terminals, and ran the ground to the transmission bolt next to the starter. Starts perfect now. Quote Link to comment

Alex Datsun Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 What camera was used in the vid? Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 My iPhone. And I saved it as like 640x480 so it wouldn't take forever to upload, but I'm planning on making a longer version and actually make it high quality. I just got bored last night while I was welding the exhaust on and shot some video. Quote Link to comment

JZ33 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 When are your wheels supposed to arrive? Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Ohhh noo!!!! You brokedededed it, why was your fender pushed in the first place? Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Wheels should be here next weekish. Diamond has to build the wheels to order so it takes about 2 weeks. My wheel fell off when I was driving back in the day, and the fender I replaced it with wasn't straight. Idk why, but it was crushed in about an inch. You can kind of tell in the pictures that it doesn't flare out as much as the other side. Quote Link to comment

ComicArtist Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks! I figured if I was going to do it on anything, I might as well do it on the only part thats not white. Ended up looking kinda cool over the black/gray primer. Quote Link to comment

I'm BLUE Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Heater core clogged up again, got hot driving just now. Ran out of coolant, had to fill the radiator with water from a puddle with a mountain dew can. Prices on reman heater cores? By-pass it for now ... Easy fix and cheap until u can .... Fix proper Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 ^ I bypassed it on the side of the road last night lol. But by that time all my coolant had leaked out the pressurize heater hose, so I had to put water in it. I need a heater core, then I can flush my coolant system and actually put coolant in it Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Also, tagged and insured it yesterday. So she's legal now. Just gotta do some minor tweaks. Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Diamond Racing emailed me back finally... apparently their 15x10 blanks have been on back order and won't be in until next week. I was informed that I would have them about a week ago, so I'm a little annoyed. Quote Link to comment
