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
