the mats came with the front clip and they work great for snow and salt and they fit the car. I have not found other mats that will fit yet so they just stay in all the time. it need something in it because the carpet in the car is super thin
made a new rear speaker deck this morring and covered it in the grey suede
here is the old one that had the 3rd brake light holes in it still and it was falling apart after we took it out to run the evo trunk harness
the new one
also yesterday when I was cleaning up the garage I found the bracket for the mini fire extinguisher. So I thought why not put it in the car it was just sitting in the garage and it is ricey chrome. it got mounted to the cage behind my seat.
picked up a mini battery kit local out of a evo 8 for 125.00. got it all installed with out the extra piece for the evo 8.
the yellow top with the tray and bolts was 50lbs
the mini kit with tray and bolts 23lbs
I was able to shove it all the way past the frame rail on the car by the fender just enuff room for it to sit in there. It frees up a ton of room also when I redo the fmic and piping later on.
i just did it because it was a killer deal. it was this or buy a battery box and a push pull switch to put the yellow top in the trunk. this end up to be a better deal in the end. now i have a yellow top for the spyder
last week we went to the junk yard and got some parts for the mirage hatch,but I found a 94 talon that had polly mounts in it still. Picked them up for 5.00 each. u-pull-it rocks
also traded the 95 awd tranny I had for the buschur 2g race fmic kit
it is going in tomorrow just have to move some stuff around on the car to get it to fit.
also back on dyno day I picked up a few parts for the car also
HKS twin plate. it will replace the QM twin plate that is in it now
also a set of ross 2.4 7bolt pistons. I am now on the way to build the 2.4 I got for free a few years ago
got some new parts at back to the 50's this weekend
s.s. radiator hose got it for 60.00 comes with 4 ends and is 48in long so it is good for both hose's
Found the best deal ever for horns for the car got a set for the evo,talon,and hatch. They are hella super tone horns the 118db ones that sell for 55.00 a set. I got them all new for 6.00 a set the guy had now clue what they were.
got the fmic put on. had to move the oil cooler up a bit and will have to move the tow hook mount so the piping can fit. also had to cut up the bumper a bit to get it all to fit.
also thinking of taking out the a/c. It has never worked right any way one of the elec motors for the auto climate control does not move right to let the a/c come in to the car. The main reason to do it is to get more room for the gt3582 that will go in some time. with the a/c out I will take out the honda radiator and fal fan and pick up a afco scirocco radiator from summit that will bolt in the core surpport. that way I dont have to make a manifold for the car. I can just pick up a good t-3 mani.
