I Have A Miata

1990 Miata
5spd
open diff
160K miles
no AC, no stereo, no power mirrors
Enkei RSF-2
949 Racing chassis braces
See the album for pics.



Major Maintenance Accomplished so far:
Timing Belt - the dreaded keyway wobble had begun, fortunately it was caught in time
a little locktite and some JBweld it's back in super with new main pulley, harmonic balancer, tensioner pulley, water pump, thermostat housing (which actally broke when removed) & thermostat
New el cheapo radiator - this was ridiculously easy to replace
stub axle - always make sure you have the correct sized circlip, apparently bigger is not always better

What are your plans for your NA? I also have one. But mine's an NA8, with a 5spd swap and open diff, hard dog single diagonal roll bar with harness bar, FM Vmaxx classic coils, and 15in XXR 531 (can't exactly remember if those are the ones, as I bought them a year or so ago). My goal for the miotter is to drift it. Currently participating in AutoX, though.

I'm currently working on getting a project 911 up and and running an sold off
to pay off some credit card bills and have some money for the Miata
which needs a new clutch and probably flywheel - some I'm think GWR or FM happy meal
and some new tires wouldn't hurt
lastly I want to do a Hardog rollbar so I get it on the track and not just do autocross
