What have you done to your Miata today?

All the good parts are on back order! I ordered my radiator set up last week, so that it would be shipped and back in the car by this week, and that didn't happen. I'm really really hoping to get the car back up and going by next weekend. I miss that little beast in the worst way.

pauter rods and arias pistons are in stock
 
I put FM springs on my 99 a year and a half ago and if they lowered the car, you couldn't prove it by me. Car rides and handles great though, even with cheapie AGX shocks.

Latest and greatest new thing here is a set of RE11s that got mounted to a set of Kosei K1 wheels. They're on my 90 at the moment but they'll wind up on the 99 before the weekend's out as we have the first SCCA autocross of the season on Sunday and I'm planning on a full season assault of finishing mid-pack in STR.

Noticed a pretty loud clunk from the passenger front. After the bumps @ this weekends event, it wouldn't surprise me if something worked its way loose. I'll have to check it out after work today
 
Nice Mark, I guess we'll get those installed this weekend.

Muffler is leaking at the flange. Picked up a new O ring gasket, will get that in tonite.

Not sure, never done an NB before. Do the springs come with directions?

Biggest hassle always seems to be the end links. PB them ahead of time.

Probably a couple of hours for all 4. Did you get a compressor?
 
Pressure washed em last weekend (forgot to get a pic of that, but i can just tell you they sat outside for an unknown amount of time

started with the left and worked to the right
