Cleaned Valve Cover


My valve cover is all squeaky clean now. And funny thing is the engine degreaser I used has a picture of (well close enough to) my engine. The one on the can is the 4A-GE engine from the n/a AW11 MR2 and the AE86 Corolla. My engine is the supercharged 4A-GZE but close enough :).

Fog Light Pics

Just some pictures of the fogs at night.





Hangar

A few weeks ago my friends and I finished building the hangar that the monster Miata is currently calling home. Now we have shade in which to work!


Cheap Fix: Buzzing Metal Lining


A while ago I was having a problem with this black metal strip buzzing at around 45mph. Nothing major, just something annoying. To fix it, I just bought some 3/8" rubber faucet washers and stuck a couple down in the seam and it stopped buzzing.

Fog Lights


Yesterday, I was helping my friend work on his '85 Celica GT and he decided to get fog lights for it. Well I decided I also could go for some fog lights and we installed them on both cars. They look great on the Celica, but without a complete front end, they look a bit awkward on my car. They look sweet at night though.
