Have not decided yet. The clear is coming off in many places. Budget says no to paint. However I think if I did it would stay the Bronzit. I actually like the color. Maybe with a black spoiler and a black valance the car would stand out.


More fun. Got the exhaust on the car and noticed this.



Looks like the motor mount on the passenger side gave out. So spare one from the parts car and is good to go. Drove it with the new pump and the car fells laggy now. Was not with a non working transfer pump. The main pump is much more quiet now after I put some gas in. Also there is a bad clunk in the back. Sounds like a diff or sub-frame mount. Oh well since I started work the car is parked for now. Selling of what little is left of the parts car and watching it sit there. I need space to work on it. However with the working odo I know have 26 miles on the car.

So after a weekend of fun my miata decided to get a bottom end knock in the motor. So after a new fuel pump I got the car going pretty good. Has a hesitation and it threw a check engine light after a 45 mile drive. Could not get a code before my loose battery connection lost power and cleared it. So guess the hesitation thing is enough to throw a code. Its a 153 ecu so just have to wait for it again. However it should have some rust repair soon in the battery tray so I don't see inside the car. Only rust on the car. However I did get the valance installed on the car. Looks good with the balck on bronzit. Hello temp Daily Driver.

Love the patina on the C3

Well after two weeks of driving the car has seen right around 750 miles. Its not been to bad but after driving it I really don't like it. Its enough that I am really thinking of selling it off. Not to complain but the heavy gas pedal is a pain in the butt along with the heavy clutch. I could maybe understand if the car had some power but its lacking in that department. Might just not be the car for me.

Well car is still around. If it does not sell soon it may become a lemons car. Might as well use it for something as its just sitting around at my parents house doing nothing.

Haha I have not raided anything in a while. The parts car supplied my parts. There is a very clean bronzit car. I almost want the hood and fenders off it. But I want to sell the car. No time to work on it. It just sits around. Funny as I got the my car from a guy in Augusta.
