The current "laundry list"
Stuff left to do:
- Add some ducting to the IC and radiator
- ...not that it really needs it with air intake temps 10 degrees of ambient
- Reinstall undertray
- Clean up the ECU wiring/install
- Get car corner balanced and aligned (bushings/new camber adjustment bolts beforehand though)
- Transmission whines in 4th, investigate possible fluid leak
- Upgrade stock 6" VLSD differential. Uh, yeah. That's not going to last long. Time for something bigger and bulletproof. :)
- Adapt N/A FC3S differential?
- T-II differential?
- Hybrid '94+ Miata?
- Miscellaneous rattles and noises (front bumper cover needs some fasteners)
- Install competition motor mounts, make sure steering shaft rub is resolved (drive a cloverleaf with some speed)
- Permanently mount ECU and stereo amplifier
- Rollbar, seats, harnesses
- Cut out stock seat mounts from chassis to get me needed 1" of height
- Replace POS unsprung race clutch with something more streetable, maybe 1.8L + light flywheel?
- Relocate water temp sender for ECU since it shows false hot (210F+) when bubble or coolant evacuates to reservoir and immediately drops down to ~190 in seconds
- Reinstall stock water temp gauge with linearization mods
- Adapt Autometer pressure sender to stock gauge (break out PIC programming references/beg EE for simple l-pad solution)
- Fix oil leak
- Re-fit piping for Magnaflow catalytic converter
- Move 'squirt fan output to different ECU pin, current pin will be needed
- Wire in clutch-switch for flat-shift/LC (after differential and clutch replaced)
- SuperPro urethane bushings and newer camber bolts
- Bar-and-plate I/C
- Oil cooler
- Make a mold of gauge cluster hood, add "ears" for gauges, modify/fix so the mounting tabs don't break
- Bigger brakes
- Use FD3S fronts or acquire "racing" product
- Investigate price/pad availability for each caliper
- Brake bias with bigger brakes?
- I have spare 1.8L rear calipers/brackets
- DIY "built" 1.8L motor
- Equal-length turbo manifold
- Divorced wastegate downpipe or external wastegate
