Well my friend came down and we installed my intercooler. Was going to do other stuff, but weather was not on our side. Couple hours ago I removed the flange off my manifold and re-welded it so turbo bolts up no problem. Just gotta make a good d/p to clear A/C compressor.

Installed steering wheel, electric fans, MSD Blaster2 Coil
4/12/2008
Installed fog lights, intercooler piping, rest of front end. Looks like a car again.

Car is now outside. Had to send turbo manifold out to get re-welded. Running into little problems which are frustrating. Painted the 'mazda' on front grille to make it harder to tell what kind of car it is. :D
