To-Do Items:
Carb Tuning:
It is running rich, and stumbling at 2500-3000 RPM.
The car has a big cam and the Weber 32/36 needs some mods that I haven’t done yet to accommodate. Following the OpelGT.com forum and RallyeBob’s mods should resolve.
Headlights:
Not locking in Open Position
Either needs adjustment or re-build of the gear clamps
Exhaust pipes re-bent. The welder put them too close to the body and there are some clanks at rough idle
Interior:
I used parts I had on hand, but I would recommend new door panes, New Drivers rear qtr trim, and Rear Deck trim.
The rear tire area leather cover is new, but it has not been fitted or installed. It is just temporarily affixed
Center Console: These need fresher parts. I have some spares.
Needs Driver’s Visor
Bumpers are good, but the new set of polished stainless, or rechroming these would make it pop
Radio: Installed and working, but not finished.
I’ve placed 2 speakers in the upper deck of the rear (factory only had 1).
Needs final decision on other speakers, or upgrading the ones in the miata seat headrests.
Heater
Water lines not connected
I do have a brand new water valve I haven’t installed
Auxiliary Front fan:
Not needed, but I like to have it for 100+ head days.
Wiring, Relay, and Temp sensor are installed, fan is not currently installed.
Front & Rear Sway Bars
I have them, not installed.
Will need new mounting bushings
Seats
Miata seats installed, the don’t fit right for me
I have the original seats, disassembled
I have a brand new set of seat leather from OGTS
Will need new seat foam to rebuild
Passenger Seat Belt
Need to order one from OGTS, somehow I only ordered the drivers side
Front windshield has small crack , needs repair
Weatherstripping around doors
It’s new, but it is already separating, and I replaced a section on the driver.
I recommend buying from OGTS, I must have bought off ebay.
Driver’s window regulator
I’ve installed all new window tracks, and this one is really tight, plus the regulator needs some adjustment. I have to pull the window back when raising it so it doesn’t pop out
Window trim, outside edge of door is missing
