    Nope. He showed me a bunch of swatches of headliner material and i picked. Now caveat on the headliner. This is the only part of the job i wasnt 100% satisfied with. One area around the sunroof started to come apart almost immediately. I called him and he said bring it back. I waited maybe a year to decide what to do and then took it back. He fixed it no questions asked. The total headliner was maybe $200 and my original headliner looked awful so for $200 its a huge upgrade. Quotes in Orange County were $1000 and up.

    My car was the one from Newport Beach.... Los Panchos is the place...Ramiro is the guy I spoke to. He speaks English. about $2k did my car with a new headliner.... 011-52(664)685-8859 3 years later I am very pleased with the work...still shiny. I plan on taking it back down in a year or so and have some touchup work done. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Here are a few updates from my blog.... http://project2002.com/my-tijuana-paintjob-1-year-paint-update/ http://project2002.com/ride-height-solved-maybe/ http://project2002.com/happy-42nd-birthday-greta/ http://project2002.com/in-tj-for-a-little-upkeep/ http://project2002.com/new-galleryalameda-naval-air-station-photo-shoot/

    Yes it like normal 02 behavior. Who diagnosed the low oil pressure as an issue?

    Amazing. Would be great if u had one of the car on the road. Nothing a little photoshop couldn’t fix. Id love a hi res of this shot to play with some things. john@project2002.com

    Yeah. All this and no names?!?!? You should be putting the shop name out as well as the owners name. You have been asked a fee times and haven't done it. Sounds like you are protecting the owner and shop for some (odd) reason.

    Looking for a passenger side long console side panel. It is going to be recovered so looking for one that has good wood, the rest can be ugly. PM me or email me... john@project2002.com

    So its the point where the boom mounts to the mast on a sailboat. The boom is allowed to rotate. Well that was an old design and new boats DO NOT allow the boom to swivel and when adding support for the boom they say the boom must be modified NOT the swivel. Its not structural as the weight doesnt have that much force to it. Some have said that you can weld it into position. Others have replaced the entire thing with a non swiveling design but thats a huge can of worms. So if that shaft is threaded a nut can be tightened to prevent the whole mechanism from twisting.

    Way off topic but you guys are so helpful someone may point me in the right direction. This is for a sailboat...I need a part that I think is aluminum threaded. Here is a pic if the part...maybe its 3 inches long and 3/4" in diameter. Plan is to remove that cotter pin and washer, remove the shaft then thread it so I can secure it with a nut. I called a few machine shops in the area and no one seemed to want to do this...not enough money, not a big enough job, or they do more engine rebuilding or head work on cars, than threading a rod for a sailboat...Any ideas on who to look for to do this? I thought it would be easy...but its turning out to be a bit of a challenge...Im in Newport Beach so anything in the area would be awesome...

    Yup i do that as well. Although i have also had them ship me things and they arrived quick and complete. I have even had them ship parts to A mechanic directly and quickly to get the car done. I have also called and got Jeff Ireland himself and he answered tons of questions for me. Super helpful.

    Be aware the Miata has a much smaller center bore...so unless it has a larger center bore than stock you will need a spacer to push it out or have the center bore opened up. If you have the e21 hubs.

    Soooo....I'm gonna ask a dumb question. Why not a 292 cam and high comp pistons and a Weber 38 carb? I daily drive mine and have been for 10 years. Starts everyday and I won't hesitate to drive to Phoenix or NorCal on a whim...and I do that at least 4-5 times a year...Car probably makes 140hp....reliably...and revs to 7k.

    Not surprising. The S14 was based in the M10. Its why its one of the easiest swaps. For a m10 with a cam exhaust and sidedrafts you are looking at 140-150hp. There are TONS of horsepower threads with dynos and engine specs. Use the search forum. You are not the first around here to ask about hp for the m10.

    Gauges are easy..u just put in the senders are wire the gauges to them. Just get the appropriate senders for the M10. Plenty of info on them.

    Here is my current center console. I am in the process of doing a more elaborate one right now.

    My BBS 15 wheel and tire combo is LESS than my 14” combo which is LESS than my stock 14 steel wheel and tire combo. I also get better tire compounds. My 15” BBS wheels are 12 pounds each.

    Thats not too hot. In the red is too hot. If its running in that area when it normally doesn't then maybe that indicates something going on with the cooling system.
  22. jrhone
    I stand corrected. Nearly identical. Lol.
  23. jrhone
    yes, 245s 1st-4th are identical to the 4 speed. 5 speed is an overdrive made for cruising and economy, not power. You want power...kick it down to 4th. The 245 is one of the best upgrades period. I don't get notch at all...I was literally thinking today how smooth the 5 speed feels compared to my four speed (no it wasn't an early box with Porsche synchros). Its your 1600...if a 4 speed is enjoyable, then by all means go for it! I say do what makes YOU happiest..not what any of us think!

    Calling KenH.... He has a Turbo M42 in the 300+ HP range...reliable...fast...Still has a 4 banger BMW motor in it..so the spirit of the 02 is retained... Then there is the M20 Turbo...that'll get you 400-450....again BMW heart.... The question is really...WHY do you need all that power? The characteristics of the 02 make it a fun car with 150ish HP... A really wise guy once told me...you want that much of a faster car? Get a faster car...Maybe an e36 M3 is what u want....by the time you build a really nice 02 that's as fast and reliable as a newer BMW M car...you could have built several 02's. After seeing that clip Andrew...man M20 may be the motor for my next build....
  25. jrhone
    Andrew...I am unfriending you on all social media platforms and blocking you on this board so I NEVER see your posts. Absurd.... OK...now to be serious about the question... 1. Round tails look better than Square tails 2. Bilstein Sports are too stiff
