The car was set to go on Friday, but the flat-bed was not back in time, so now Monday will be the pickup. We have to pick up the parts from the donar car next Saturday, so everything should be coming together soon. Next step is the DASC and suspension. We can almost smell the rubber!:cool:

Good to see you back on the road.  Question, do you have the DASC?

[Febi Guibo]

No,I don't have it ready, but I do have the $$$ ready! I'm waiting till the car is back from the shop just in case something goes wrong. I'm hoping the M42 kit is ready by then as well?

Hey guy's, as you can see, I tore out some of the a/c already, but I want to know if I can do the A/C, P/S delete with the DASC. Any help (idea's) would be a big help. Can I just use a diff. size belt?

Here's a link to a core support for $77.00:

There's aftermarket body part places all over the place. May be cheaper local without added shipping. I'd grab all the little stuff off the donor like the hood hinge and plastic pieces.

Thanks for the link, I like those prices.

Anyone??

I think that DASC uses the AC belt to drive the SC, but you could get rid of the AC all you would have to do is fab up a belt tensioner.

Only cost me a case of beer to get it to the shop!

If it needs the ac pulley, can't I just use a shorter belt from the crank? Never mind I see your point, still need something to tighten the belt.

[highlandmiata]

does the core support weld or bolt in? Mine is a little tweaked, and while I could try to un tweak it, if that is a bolt in part, I'd be all over it. Welding though, is beyond my capabilities.

[Tonyb]

It has a bunch of spot welds. Thats why I left it on for the shop to deal with.

I picked up my parts today! Took the whole day, but it was worth it, I got a hood (plus hinge), both fenders, lower valance, bumper, and a perfect radiator for $500.00. The bumper is flawless, including the turn signals, and the valance has perfect fog lights still attached(ebay!). I just orderd an "Is lip",and all the missing small parts, hood foam, clips, hoses, etc... Next step will be the DASC, 4.10Lsd, and suspension. Will post pics with updates as it moves along!

Glad to see the progress.  Are you going to replace the angel eyes?
