March 2019 Update #3: Brake plumbing, seatbelts, still leaking coolant...

Brakes
- Lines plumbed to all 4 wheels. Master cylinder lines waiting for a new MC.
- ABS sensors installed and wiring secured.
- My NC miata master cylinder didn’t work out… :(. Couldn’t get the front line to clear the frame. Another guy on the forum bought a RHD miata booster+master which I would say is a much better move but I hadn’t thought of that. RHD NC masters are hard to find so I got a mazdaspeed 3 master cylinder for $20. It has a 1″ bore rather than 7/8″ but maybe that’s better for my larger brakes vs the Miata. We shall see. It’s the price to pay for trying new solutions.
Engine
- Dyno tuning planned as soon as I get the car go karting and tested a little. Hopefully in a couple weeks or so.
- BOV fixed- it was missing it’s vacuum port connection so I installed one from a hardware store.
- Cooling leaks continue (at a decreasing rate at least)! I fixed the coolant pipe adapters except for the one on the water pump. It has a very slow drip still. I also have a mystery coolant drip from somewhere near the oil pump area but I can’t pinpoint where it’s dripping from.
Small Items
- E-brake handle partially installed. I appear to be missing the rear tunnel cover from FFR to finish the install. I dug through ALL of my aluminum panels, which there were many.
- Sealed the passenger side of the firewall and installed the center panel. Driver’s side is staying bolted in but unsealed for a while until everything mechanical is sorted.
- Seatbelt mounted on the driver’s side. I went through the lower frame rail for the outside attachment and attached the buckle to my seat bracket.
