    MSM or sc/TC NB...?

    Cool. Yeah, we didn't get down to negotiating, but they are a GMC dealer and they want it out of there. Like I said, it has been there like 2 months. I may go back tomorrow and see what we can do. I haven't been on the site in a while. You used to own a Protege right? MP3 or MSP or something...

    MSM or sc/TC NB...?

    This is very true. My problem would be keeping myself from going over the entire flyin miata catalog though, and that is hard on the warranty... I think my biggest problem is I have never driven a supercharged NB, and I would love to know how the continous power feels...

    MSM or sc/TC NB...?

    I'm so confused. So the wife finally said "Why don't you go buy your car?" I am trying to decide between a F/I NB (like a 10AE or an 01 or newer 6 speed with a SC or TC) or a MSM.

    Wrinkle Paint on Valve Cover Q

    yup, car was gone last month, but it still looks as good as the day it was painted... I used like 5 coats of that ceramic 1200* paint, and it held up great...

    -endlinks.... I don't know. I would assume they are the same, but I am not sure... -bushings... AWR doesn't make a 20mm (Or they didn't when I did mine). They make a 19mm and a 21.5mm. I bought the 19mm and opened them up slightly with a dremel. If you put them on without boring the opening...

    Another spring question?

    I had the Eibachs on for 35k miles on stock shocks. For regular driving, they felt pretty much the same a stock. But when pushed, they got a lot stiffer...
