build diary June 6, 2005: I've been busy building a Miata for the Car and Driver Superfour Challenge. The Seven itself is awaiting new bushings for the differential and for me to get off my butt and build that new front diff mount. I did spend some time over the weekend thinking about the instrumentation, and I've decided to simply mount the 2001 cluster in the Seven instead. I'll need some new connectors to plug in to it but I can find those. More importantly, I need to replace the white gauge faces with black ones. I have a set lined up and I'll exchange them soon enough. It's a pity to lose my current gauge faces because I like the vertical style, but it's probably more useful to have a full complement of functional gauges when I think about it. I've also decided to pick up a Datatool Revlight for the sequential shift lights. They show up at a good price once in a while and it's probably cheaper than trying to build my own. Auto dimming, easy to reprogram - a very cool little unit. Let's see how it works out. entry 886 of 1439 |
