I don't know if your trying to dip a big stereo but if not i'm sure the thinner 1/8" would be ok just for road noise. Maybe the 1/4" to be safe but you won't need the extreme or any thicker one unless you plan on throwing in 2x 15"subwoofers

 

nope no woofers i personally grew out of that stage when i was 16/17...
thanks for the info!!!

I plan on still painting the entire inside with a single stage so it is the same color as the exterior.

anywho a little update...

I have finished blasting the subframe(s) cross member and arms and plan to take them to get powder coated this week!

Black is the color of course!

 

So as I dropped the front the other day I got a chance to sandblast it and get the rust off and a majority of the paint...it is good enough for what it needs to be for it to be powder coated...

BEFORE




AFTER





So this may be a "noob" question, but....what is this thing?
It connected to the fuel tank if I recall...




good shot of how bad the rust is on the bottom



anyways....
got the harness out finally!!!









ANDDDD
finally got the rest of the sound crap off the floor

 

Just a little work completed tonight...









I plan on not having a sunroof...anyone have their input on that? I Think I will just have it welded up with a sheet of metal...

Why would I use it right? plus the run offs for water drain is pretty lame spot...

 

Little update.....
Bought the following parts this week:
Max competition coilovers
Mazdaspeed subframe bushings
Mazdaspeed differential bushings
RacingBeat front and rear sway bar end links
RacingBeat DTSS eliminator kit

I'll post pics whenever I get time. It's been a crazy past couple of weeks. I finally found out how mice had gotten in the fc. More cutting and welding ahead in the rehabilitation of the fc

 

So as far as parts go, I have gotten a few of the things I ordered...


these are by far the most expensive of them....Just came in today




but here is what I have so far









Still waiting on my subframe bushings and end links....and sway bars....and


PARTS SHOWN ABOVE ARE:

MazdaSpeed Diff Bushings
MAX Competition Coilovers
AWR Rear Spherical Bushings
SuperPro Front Control Arm Bushing
BattleVersion Toe Arms
BattleVersion Rear Camber Arm
RacingBeat DTSS eliminator
ARP 2.5" and 3.25" Studs

 

So I have been procrastinating on my fc lately...

I barely just finished sand blasting everything except the rear control arms...going to hopefully get them finished by Thursday...then take them to get powder coated within the week...

Anyways....Since I am running extended studs I picked up some FD rims tonight for $280.

I plan on having a few sets of rims, but as of now these will do. I would like to put wide fenders (both rear and front) but not sure if I need to cut the rear panels or not....

Anywho... here is some pics

In the middle of blasting...



my FD rims





anyways...soon I will start putting things together and get people on this sites attention

thanks for lookin let me know what yall think

 

Nice stockpile of parts dude looks like its coming along good.

 

thanks man!

Slowly but surely....Long way to go still...but within the months end I should start putting it on the fc just to see how it looks

 

so I finished blasting the rear control arms and burned out the bushings in the subframe....planning on cleaning the subframe up as soon as I get time....then go over it again with the sandblaster....then.....go over everything again check if I need to clean up any of the pieces I blasted...then FINALLY take it to the shop to get coated!


My son wanted to take a photo....no he did not blast with a welding shield on he has a hood but wanted to wear that because "it looks cool"


Results of an hour of work


Subframe bushings burned out







My spare subframe and control arms :-P




sand media I used

 

Well I just finished uploading some pics of my "progress" so here goes it...Ill let the pics talk for a bit

b4


after




my sheet metal to fix the bad spots in my car...since my grandpa use to build trailers we had a large sheet that was the perfect match to the parts I've been cutting out of my FC


something interesting I found while walking to the shop




ANYWAYS

 

going to get these pushed out at a shop tomorrow since I am unable to push them out with my press

 

So a little update...I have been extremely busy and barely had any time to work on my 7 for some time now, but tonight....I finally did something...

Thanks...not sure if one can tell in the pic, but the color in person is Tahitian green. Sadly the camera makes it look like its a bluish color

 

Well...sadly I have not gotten my subframe back from the powder coating shop...its been over three weeks now!!! other than that...just going to get the essentials to finally take it off the stands and push it into the shop to start the fun job...

I hope it will be done within this next week (being able to get it into the shop that is)

 

its powder coated "Safety Green"

got to install my new ball joints and SuperPro Bushings

 

YES I AM CHANGING THE COLOR OF THE ENGINE BAY LOL

i did not realize how non matching it was until after I put my subframe to it lol

depending on what I paint the car it will change accordingly next year when I paint it over (need to just get it rolled in the shop now to do some welding and other crap)

 

Car looks awesome dude. Your attention to detail is amazing, I really wish I had the patience and time to make mine look that good.

 

Thanks I appreciate it. I'd lOve to work on it more to finish it, but sadly with school and kids I haven't been able to. Maybe when I graduate and have a break before law school I will be able to...maybe...hhaha

 

Out of curiousity, how much did the powder coating cost?

 

I say you make all different parts of the car different shades of that base color. I think that would look really fricken cool.

 

$200
I think I got a pretty good deal...at first he said $120, but then it came out to $200

 

just a little update....got off the phone with Nate from "powered by MAX" and their new super angle kit & lower control arms will be hopefully available in November!.

Couple months away, but I am patiently waiting for them!
