I bought it! Picked up a 2010 Celestial Blue this evening.

Very clean. One helluva good write up.

So far I seem good, but I will definitely keep this in mind if I notice it again, or if it really isn't gone and I'm just kidding myself that it has... Thanks for the head's up. Would have never in a million years thought about the seat belt releases or associated parts doing this.

Finally had enough of the buzz / rattle coming from my back deck after motor mount inserts and a new sub were installed. I got back there and stuffed every hole and crevice and anything that looked, acted, ever thought about moving, with poly-fill. Buzzy rattle was banished.

Turbo oil feed line gaskets replaced and an oil change... much needed oil change actually. First time on replacing the gaskets, it wasn't as hard as I imagined.

Wrapping my mind around the cigar throttle body thing... while doing the test, the engine is NOT running, correct? If it were, the glove would be sucked into the TB and not puffed out like shown in the pictures...

They also came on 1.8 miatas, and I happen to get my last batch off a Mazda MPV minivan. You can easily test them with some gator clips and a 9v battery. Touch the leads to the battery and you should hear a nice "click". If no click, or very sluggish click, then no bueno. These can be...
