Motor is built, had it's first break-in, and oil system is now fully plumbed. Took the car out for its first road test, very short just for these photos. Need to work on the stance, not a fan of the rake.



Dropped it off at the alignment shop today, which might seem backwards as I'm still going to adjust the height, but once it's set I can mark / measure it and return it to the same settings in my shop. But getting that initial setting is far easier with an alignment rack.



The rear still needs some cosmetic issues taken care of, to eliminate the chrome...but I somehow ordered less black anodized bolts than I needed. Doh!

On my civic EJ1, I swapped on a new tyc condenser and a new receiver/dryer and changed every o ring I encountered. Trying out my new AC equipment I managed slightly better AC in my 500k+ kms civic. The compressor is just too tired, will swap another on next. PS, Don’t order a tyc, half the tubes of stock.

Started cleaning up the TSX, need to go over the car and decide if I’ll turn it into a daily driver or part it out.

I swapped in a battery to the MR2, fired right up and purrs. So good, I have to finish this car.

Replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders in my NA Miata, hoping to fix the more frequent times where it's really hard to put into first gear when a red light turns green. Unfortunately it didn't fix the problem...

Over the last week replaced a dead bad taillight assembly, that USD conversion on the assembly I got a rep, OEM would've been crazy expensive, surprisingly the part fit pretty well and looks pretty identical to OEM on the other side.

Also replaced both PCV valves, cleaned both throttle bodies, and replaced both air filters. The relearning idle etc took longer than the actually repair.. No more hesitation idling on hot days. Next up will be valve cover gaskets probably due to the subsequent PCV being jammed up and blowing out the drivers side bank.

Still not regretting buying this rebuilt Montreal-mobile, yet

I went to put the plastic undertrays back on so I could move the car out of the garage for a bit, and for some reason decided while I was there I should tighten up the trans cooler lines that have a slight leak. Some of you can guess where this is going. As I turned it I noticed it wasn't really getting tighter, then I noticed it had some side to side play. The adapter fitting then stripped out of the trans. When I checked the other one it had the same side to side play and after a couple wiggles came out too. It looks like the problem is the threads in the trans don't start til a few mm in, and the adapters are very short, so there's only 2 threads of engagement. Rather than get too annoyed at the shop that supplied the fittings or the shop that installed them I'm just trying to be happy it happened in the garage and not while driving as that likely would've resulted in a destroyed transmission.

I still have the stock lines and could put them back in, but they're 29 years old. I have nice new AN lines already the correct length and hooked to the cooler so I'm hoping to find some longer adapters, top up the fluid, and be good to go.

The mess it snowballed into:



The aforementioned trans threads:

After realizing only recently that my car has factory puddle lights (they were burnt out), I replaced the bulbs.



Now when I park in a river at night, the additional light can show me how stupid I am

Is that for strapping all the extra stuff you need to bring for the wee one now?

I love those super exaggerated spoilers, especially the ones that mount from the chassis. Might as well go all out if you're gonna do it!

^^ I absolutely won’t always run this on the street. Thankfully removing the element isn’t difficult and can be done solo. I wasn’t going to install it until my other aero stuff comes in, but ended up booking a track day so I figured I should get it on and adjusted now.

Looking at the CFD, at my 6° AoA I should be getting ~210lbs of downforce at 160kmh assuming clean air.

Holy shit... What do you have on the front end to counter this? I think I saw a bit of a splitter before. Is that enough (until your other new aero arrives)?

I have a chassis mount undertray with a diy splitter ( 4” ) that will have to do for now. My CF hood/fenders are made to order, so they won’t be here for quite a while. The canards I want aren’t shipping to Canada due to the covid (they’ve had a bunch of packages go missing over the border so the axed international). I also have a line on a discontinued front splitter, but the owner is a province away from it in storage and doesn’t want to travel until restrictions are lifted.
