Kidding aside, have you ever seen one of these before, http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/drives/6908/ ?

Might serve with your pc setup, not sure how you have it configured.

Lol, sorry, I don't swing that way... (I though the same thing, who the hell calls their company "fag". Oh, and FYI, it's a rear passenger wheel bearing. (I dropped the car at the mechanics that evening, so i had my parts in the car)

I thinking the same color with blue perls, or change the color with something more towards blue, and still add the blue perls.

Well, we've been working on the the last 2 days with him, and adding to the list of parts, I needed 2 new front calipers (which are painted blue, as well as the rear), a driver side ball joint, a passenger tie rod, and 2 rear lower control arms (the driver side bend). Both my front springs were broken, but those are betting replaced anyhow). I punctured a hole in my front tire, but my mechanic show me how bad the camber wear (bought them used with the rims) was o the inside and that they should be replaced, so i'll have Kuhmo MX's for the front, keep my Supra's for the back for now. I've already dipped into the paint job money for the calipers, and I have yet to buy the rest of the stuff (my parents are gonna have to do the shopping for me while up back up in Mississauga) so it looks like my paint job will be postponed for at least July now

Just a quick update, the car is schedualed to get dropped off at the shop Thursday to get painted and the kit installed. I'm gonna get the whole car painted, including the stock hood, just in case, and when i get her back, the CF hood is getting installed ASAP, I just need to get hood pins.

For those who wants to know who is painting my car, I'm getting it done here:

Neu Body & Paint
Robery Neudorf
905-899-3330
53032 Perry Road RR 1,
Wainfleet, ON L0S 1V0

I got and modified those Miata mudguards I wanted (C$366 w/tax directly from Mazda, but their Eurothane), but had to cut them and reshape them cause they were about 4" too long, but no biggie, the cutting is done, I just need to sand it down, get it smooth and stock looking, but a quick fit looks promising, it'll just take some creativity to get them mounted. I'll post pics later, I forgot to download them off my sister's digital camera

So do I, I'm both excited and nervous at the same time, it's the first time I get a car repainted, well, this is my first car too

After the poor quality metal on my dad's F-150 that was recalled and still rusted out a few years later, and the horrible job on done on my parents old Safari van that started to rust after a year done by my moms friend's boyfriend, I have this worrying feeling in the back of my mind, I don't want my mx screwed up. But I'm also excited, if she turns out like she should, like I imagine, she'll be beautiful!

I would make them remove all the seals, rubber gaskets etc prior to painting it.
