So finally I ordered some piping from cxracing and got my intercooler done. It worked out real well no problems at all. Heres some pics I took this morning.

-Still using that Greddy bull **** pipe until I figure something out.

-My neighbor made me this bracket and it was perfect. The only thing I bought were the washers and bolts. And everything lined up just right.

-Some pics of how i went around the Radiator.

-Found out my blow off valve was leaking and thus i had idle dropping issues so my friend swapped me for his knock off HKS for my knock off Greddy. Now my idle is perfect and for some reason he likes my Greddy. So it all worked out. + I like the sounds of this one better!

-lol good one! i have the factory tank but there no cap so im just waiting on a friend to see if hes got any caps in his junk miatas
-Yours is a lot cleaner though
-This miata was put together by me after i totaled my white one. So theres a lot of parts from different miata. Its really really UGLY right now, but after a n expensive paint job it should look good. Now that i got the car running decent the Next step is to paint it.

a friend of mine had a 700 dollar paint job, and its amazing
its all in the prep work, so if u prep it very well ur self, it should come out great
then just buff till it looks like a show room car
ps, what color would u go with?

Yea if i had to do it again i would of went with the one that Brain went with.
I don't know why. I don't have a perfect shaped pipe and Im tired of using couplers Ill look into it later tho. I don't think theres a gain of hp if i delete it or not. (i might be wrong idk)

Did you buy a "kit" from cx racing off e-bay or just specific pipes/couplers/t-bolt clamps from them. I just went with one of there "kits" off e-bay and am hoping ill have enough pipes ect to finish the job off.
