    well, before i signed any titles of did anything, we met up at the kroger in cumming. we then drove to the guys apartment complex because he left the title there, and as matt and i get out of the car and pop the hood we notice a HUGE amoung of oil POURING out of the car. an oil line going to the oil cooler had come loose, and it was spewing out from there. so after looking at it and trying to figure out WTF happened, we tightened it back up and went on about our business, dismissing it as a freak accident. so as were pulling into the bank so the guy could get me some cash to throw on the deal (40 bucks...:lol THE FVCKING INTAKE FALLS OFF. it had some ghetto cone filter on it, and it had come completely off, ripping the IACV boot that was already taped on. so we just put it back on, anticipating a new intake when we took it to OPM to do the interior stuff. so we get there and throw on a stock airbox, along with cleaning the **** out of the car and throwing most of the interior together. we fix the intake and the IACV boot and stuff, wash the car, throw on a set of bottlecaps to replace the 2 basketweaves that are on the car and we eventually leave. we take buford dam road home, and it looks like its about to storm like a ***** off in the distance, so i decide to MAKE SURE the windshield wipers work, and guess what? they dont. so we pull over and jiggle some wires around, and they work. we think, wtf okay cool, lets go. so we BARELY make it to the qt @ 20 and 985, and get gas. luckily we didnt hit any rain on the way home, because this is where the wipers stop working. we attempt the wire jiggle again, but to no avail. they work, but only when you use the squirters. . so we keep going, and as were pulling into my friends driveway, i notice the steering rack/tie rods popping VERY loudly. .

    not to mention the car pulls VERY hard to the right, is loud as ****, etc, etc.

    hopefully i can get this resolved tomorrow. im gonna ask him to trade back, and ill leave the interior and all the work i did today in it. i feel like a dumbass for even thinking this was a good idea. hopefully this works out and i can hold on to the miata for a while longer.

    i feel like i just cheated on my GF and i feel really really ****in guilty. lol

    LOLOL no, it has the plastic rear bumper. im still looking for a front one though...

    it just needs new lollipop bushings and eventually its gonna need new cv axles, and those are all cheap. all the parts ive priced for it are DIRT cheap.

    other than that, its all cosmetic stuff.

    good thing you can pretty much buy every part off an E30 for $500 if you let it turn up. small problems are nothing $ wise
