Just read all 25 Pages of this thread and it ******* rules.
Unknowingly I've done quite a few of the same things you have to your car and I'm just beginning my TII diff swap but going to stick with the miata trans after seeing all the work you did to make the TII trans work.
Keep this **** going!!!!!

I wish I could take credit for the welds, but I had a friend burn them in.
Couple pics:
I will be wrapping the vac lines in Techflex. The main vac line off the intake runs to a 6an bulkhead fitting, and then over to the brake booster.
The wiring on the passenger side is complete and all ready to be bolted down for the final time. Here's a shot of the routing under the passenger headlight:
I forgot to take a shot of the harness running up the fender, will do that next time I'm out there.

Got the exhaust manifold, downpipe, and turbo back on the motor. I also drilled and tapped the mixing manifold and the thermostat neck to accept a 6an fitting to eliminate the need for a short section of hose. Most of the lines are now bolted down, although I took the following pic during the install, so they might not be in their final locations. It's starting to look like a car again!

I'm hoping to get it back on the road in July, haven't had much time lately to devote to it, but I'm slowly picking away at it. June is another busy month so we'll see.

Dropped a few things off to get powdercoated with a local powdercoater. I had them match the color I painted the roll cage (a dark bronze) with, and then go over it with layer of clear. Excuse the dust.

crappy iPhone pic (I'll take a better one I promise), but the engine bay is all set minus fluids. Couple more terminations with the dash I need to finish, put the interior back in, and I should be back in action. Trying to get it ready for next weekend.

Damn dude, lookin good. What did you use as a check valve for your brake booster line?
Also I don't think my car is on the same level as yours but I think we should do a shoot with both our cars. Especially seeing how I am hoping to have mine moving under its own power on thursday and the work I did last night and today looks like the same stuff you did over the past few days (radiator, intercooler, piping, hoses, water lines).

Check my build thread for an idea of how to clean up your intake....3" 45 degree elbowso the filter sits far forward sitting pretty much ON the frame rail next to the headlight motor.
