Re: Mooneggs 92 MX-3 Daily Driver IP 11/23, 6 months update

I guess I should do an update... it has been 6 months! 
I have not done any mods to the car. I did acquire a second set of silver MS-01R that I wrapped in Dunlop Direzza Starspec (my new favorite street tire) that I have been daily driving and using for rainy autocross (and doing quite well in those conditions I might add). I finally got around to gluing the MS-01R center caps and have been using them for a while now. I've only lost one of the clips so far so that's not bad considering how hard I drive
Speaking of center caps, I picked up a set of MS-01S center caps that I will use with the bronze MS-01S I acquired earlier this year. I finally made a decision and I will be wrapping those in my new favorite street tire and will be continuing to use the MS-01R race tires for autocross.
I also acquired a set of the AZ-3 zig zag floormats. They were pretty dirty so I did some foaming carpet cleaner on those as well as a set of the Eunos Presso faded red to black type that I had been daily driving with this year. I used the zig zags for a few weeks but they really started to drive me crazy! lol
The only big project I did on the DD was to replace the water pump and basically the rest of the cooling system.
I attended a ton of autocross events this year. I ended up coming in 4th place in the Oregon Region Porsche Club in the Non-Porsche Race tires class. Pretty good considering my competition was a 2005 Mitsubishi Evo fully prepped for auto-x, 1974 Datsun 240z with an LS-1, and a fully prepped mazda miata (which I basically tied with). I think the most fun event was at a local Go-Kart track called Pat's Acres. I think more clubs will start to use that course for autocross next year
I moved twice in the last 6 months. In my new apt, I now have an attached garage which is super rad. It's not really big but better than the dinky ones you normally get in apartment complexes. I'm still in the process of sorting through all my mx-3 parts in the mooneggs warehouse to really determine what I actually what I want to do and sell/get rid of everything I don't have a plan for. I'm still housing the Race Car in the barn at the farm I used to live on and will be resurrecting it over this winter. The goal is to use it strictly for autocross next year (pretty extensively, dual and quadruple drivers when possible).
My next update should be regarding what projects I have left to pursue on this car as well as the update to badging/winter aesthetics.
As expected here's a whole bunch of random pics I've taken over the last 6 months! Also I just got an iPhone5 a month ago so you should start to see better quality pics from here on out. Thanks for your patience with my crappy pics over the last 6 years

I'm genuinely curious what you have planned...
