Well, it looks a lot better in the pictures then it does in person! :shock:

Anyway, I finally got it home tonight...needs a differential, exhaust, tune up and maybe a clutch...so it should be a couple weeks before its moving around, but it should be fun none-the-less.

So with the arrival of another project does this mean the end for the Hatch?

[narfdanarf]

And if this means the end of the hatch, does that mean the hatch is for sale?!?!?! I am obsessed with hatches :D

Perhaps...I'm debating keeping it as a winter beater...but if someone makes me the right offer I might be convinced to let it go.

You being a AWD owner, I can't believe you say things like that. I love snow in the EVO. The salt on the other hand, I could do without.

Hit the nail right on the head there Robbie. I could care less if just about anything other then my WRX or CRX gets rusty...

Sweet, looks pretty good Kurt.

Oh yeah, nice hardtop BTW. It's Super JDM y0!

[Feedman]

So whats the plans with the new ride?

[Kurt_W]

Well, the bad differential is out. The interlock (where the driveshaft bolts to the diff) is held on by a large nut. That nut worked itself loose and the ensuing flopping around distroyed the diff.

Storm just got here. Nice little bit of hail falling :x

As for the car, get it tunning and then put a good set of tires on it and run it in stock class at the auto-x.

[Feedman]

sounds like a plan to me...

Good luck dude.... 8)

see Kurt, I get a convertible, and you have to get one too. lol. at least yours is in 1 peice :lol: :(

...at least yours is in 1 peice :lol: :(

I wish! I got it running with the new diff and it drives fine, but it had an exhaust leak in the engine bay. So I did some work (read: ripped the exhaust system off) looking for the leak and came to discover a decent sized hole in one of the runners on the header right by the collector and the gasket where the header meets the downpipe being shot as well. So basically I need a new exhuast system from the head the the back bumper. I'm currently debating what to do.

The 25 miles I got to drive it was fun while it lasted though.

From the sounds of it Kurt doesnt have a car thats in one piece :D

[Kurt_W]

The Miata runs and drives once again. Guy at work was able to weld the manifold and I fixed just about everything else that I could in the exhaust system. It doesn't sound too bad now. But to answer the question, yeah, its in one piece again :D
