The images come from Google Photos indeed. I'm reuploading them now. In the meantime, I've discovered that my oil leak is probably a PCV system failure. So I'm reworking that in a hope to remedy it. Missing parts in the brake caliper package made it that I only just now have everything to do the job. Luckily the weather is improving, so working in the garage isn't as frigid anymore. Lots of oil on the Crankcase Ventilation. I'll have to do the Fuel Pressure Regulator soon too, as it seems that whole system is weeping fuel fumes. No Bueno. Waiting for some hoses and parts for that. And now the pictures: The frame rails The Frog Arms The Rust

I've actually been able to do a couple of trips with the braces on, and you feel it so-ridiculously-much. The car used to flex like a mad man, but now It's so stiff that I almost tripod when I'm rolling off my driveway. I can recommend it to everyone with an MX-5. I still have to put the connecting piece for the Butterfly-Brace on, as I wasn't sure if that was supposed to stick out that much (spoiler alert, it does. Skidnation has it on the website with a bit of poke.). Hoping to get some more mods done this week, and I hope the rest of the parts come in soon. And now to keep myself accountable and motivated... Planned mods in semi-short term, and their current troubles: That last dang brake caliper (1hr) Fuel pressure regulator and hoses (1hr) waiting on hose ~2 weeks Intake Tube & smaller K&N pod filter (30 minutes) Not sure if I'm going to reroute the Intercooler Piping later on. I like the double overhead piping look, but having the turbo outlet go straight down clears up some space in the bay. PCV system and catch-can (30 minutes) waiting on fittings ~2 weeks Mate might have these waiting on hose ~2 weeks Might have some lying about needs to drill into intake, which doesn't have much space right now. Might be able to use/find a different piece of piping. Also, this is just in. I just put in the Jass performance boot-light. First Jass performance part that isn't pure dogs**t. (So far)

Gonna have a look at this welding before anything else. Then I think I've decided it's gonna have a k20 in it. Possibly the 160hp variant from the civic type s and accord.

Belonged to Krzys's Mrs. Failed it MOT because it's the light weight version with holes in its sills and rear arches. As I was looking for cheap motor as a project I asked of I could buy it rather than it go to the scrappy.

It's this little doodad. Goes over the latch (Which I had on the wrong way, btw. The boot closes properly again now.) So far, my Jass crankshaft locker doesn't fit. My Jass engine damper melted from the heat from the turbo. And my Jass Radio Cage with holes for three gauges (as seen in previous pictures) does in fact not fit three gauges, because the holes are too close together. I eventually went with the IL Motorsport one, which needed only minor trimming of the gauge bezels. So far, my experience with IL Motorsport parts has been absolutely flawless. I have the cupholder center console, several maintenance parts including gaskets and seals and the armrest. As well as several OEM parts from them. I'm even considering replacing my skidnation coolant reroute with one of theirs.

Pretty wicked. Loving this forum software.

That'll make a cracking track car! I need to give Krzys a call soon, not had a chat with him for ages
