Installed a pair of S2000 seats into my MR2, thanks to Oteck (Joe) for designing the custom mounting brackets.

Finally got around to finish this. Replace the lost motion assembly on the b16a. Taking the motor apart and putting it back togerther was scary as hell. The ticking is gone! engine sound so much smoother but I now have a rpm dipping issue after revving and a check engine light. This never ends lol.

Dropped the speed3 on KW coils and had an alignment done at Dales. The ride quality is amazing compared to the BC Coils I had on my 2014 3.
Small PSA. I'm not sure if it's just me or the week I booked, but at Dale's they require you to leave your car for half a day to a full day for alignment on modified cars. This made it really inconvenient compared to back in 2009 when I was able to wait the hour for the alignment.

Got bored and decided to tackle my non working boost gauge. Over a year ago, I got a boost gauge with a digital readout that replaces the garbage stock unit in the gauge cluster. Had it all wired in, but it read a constant 0.0 PSI all the time. Gave up and finally got around to troubleshooting.

Turns out I just didn't ground the sender unit. Lameee. Spliced in a ground and it works like a charm. Also hooked up the one I was currently using, because why not.



Temporary wiring job, until I get some proper sleeves to tidy it all up and tuck it nice like.

Not sure... Hopefully. Our goal is to have the swap done by Sunday but wiring still needs to be finished. But that should be finished hopefully tonight

Fell just short of getting the engine in . Should be in pretty quick in the morning. Friend had to go home and finish re wiring the harness and the others had a previous engagement so we stopped a few hours ago.

Today I finally got the last piece of the lip kit puzzle finished (well almost, still needs a cut and polish). Condo living, you gotta make space for working on your car where you can lol. The amazing part is there is actually no dust in the paint or clear as hard as that is to believe for a spray done outside. The last car I painted in a booth had more contaminates.

Bare poly urethane lip (Integra Type R)



Mandatory supply shot



Wax and grease remover used to pull silicone and greases created by the polymer off the surface followed up by a 320 grit scuff followed up again by a wax and grease remover wipe down.



Sealer/Primer (there is a different between a sealer/primer and just a high build primer) applied since it is a bare plastic



Sanded with 600 grit. It laid down so smooth i didn't need to do a 400 grit sand



Tack cloth wipe down after a microfiber wipe down



Adhesion promoter (a must anytime a plastic body piece is used to prevent cracking in the paint from twisting, bumps in the road, steep ramps etc)



First coat of paint (2 were applied)



2 coats of clear at this point



4 coats of clear



Cut and polish to follow in 5 days. It calls for 24-48 hour cure time but it was recommend by a coworker to hold off for 4-5 days when using these products as they are not as high grade as a professional product. It laid on extremely nice with no orange peel anywhere on the lip. Once it is cut and polished it will have a glass like reflection. That ladies and gentlemen is how to properly use rattle can paint.
