I finished sanding 100% today, it took pretty much the entire day to get it just right... I've got about an hour of daylight left, and I am using it to completely clean the outside of the car.

First thing tomorrow I'm taping off glass, rubber, plastic, etc. and spraying 2 coats of primer.
While that dries, I plan to vacuum the carpet and door pockets, wipe down all glass/vinyl/plastics, and piece my trunk trim back together.

Later on in the day I'll be hitting it with 3 solid coats of ChalkBoard...

So far the Mini Sides, Mudguards, and GS spoiler are primered and painted. Hopefully I'll get the rest finished in time tomorrow.

I did manage to swap out my damaged passenger side door for my spare(Barney Purple, until tomorrow!), as well as the front speakers and door cards. I also put an auto-down power window switch in.

I've de-badged the rear of the car, and will only be running the forward diamond badge from here on out.

It'll be my first meet with the new paintjob, so I plan on making it look good. That being said, don't forget to bring your chalk!

cool! I was hoping you would do this so I could see if I wanted to do it to mine

Well hopefully it'll turn out as well as Lynch's car, The moment I saw it I was sold on the idea. Imagine that, the guy who couldn't pick a paintjob... actually picked one!

Will you be there on the 16th Mark?? If so, please bring that waterpump with you! I need it for the new '93 project, and I keep forgetting about it.

I'll try to pick up a bucket of chalk before I drive up to Washington... We're up to 10+ people for the meet, right? I have enough gas money to actually go for a cruise.

Dude you'll love it. Go to WalMart, get a bucket of chalk for $5, invite a pile of people over for a BBQ and a car decorating party. The more alcohol involved the better.

Haha, I do love it so far! I haven't chalked it yet, since I need to respray the driver's side door, roof, and half of the hood.

Still, It'll be chalked up before you all know it! I'll upload pics of the finished product, since I'm always too lazy to upload work in progress updates!

I ended up spending a few hours messing with my PnP MegaSquirt today, and it's pretty awesome!

I'm especially enjoying that TunerStudio is far more straight forward than I previously thought! The base map that came with my ECU isn't bad either, I didn't drive it on the base map(of course), but it idled smoothly and I was able to mess with a few things while watching the responses in the system.

The one thing I thought was weird was the reading for my TPS, it kept giving a negative reading the entire time the system was engaged... It was ~ - 476 or so, which I failed to understand? I set my TPS properly, so I'm inclined to think that the problem lays with my understanding of TunerStudio itself.

i've been waiting to see your initial updates before i take the plunge and click buy.

what is your current setup? running of the map and an vaf delete?

So my registration/tags are due this November, and I've been thinking about custom plates for a while now. I've narrowed it down to 2 candidates, and I'm wanting some input!

I'm limited to 6 characters maximum, with a single space allowed.
The candidates so far are:
NOM NOM - Honda Eater ;D
BCZ RCR - Because Racecar

It's highly likely that NOM NOM is taken, so N0M N0M is my backup, I guess.

I'm open to other suggestions as well, so let's hear them!

Not sure, but are you guys limited to 6 characters, or 8 like up here?
I'm thinking zoomzoom...

MZD SPD = Mazdaspeed but im using that one but it will be cali plates so you can use it as well

MR MZD = Mrmazda

MAZ DA= Mazda

MZD MX3= my second choice if the first is gone

I like BCZ RCR
The guy I bought my first MX3 from (in WA) stole my plate idea "ZOOMX3". I thought I was witty as fu#% with that. And now I can't have it...

LOL, MAZ DUH

I like that A LOT.

I love this nearly pictureless WL
