Step 1: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/pts/605054022.html

 

[Foolish]

Sweet! ...But, you've got the headlight gap problem. Get someone to show you the super high-tech extremely technical solution to that problem. I'm pretty sure I took the time to teach Maff how it's done.

RWD FTW.

ROFL, you're thinking of a COMPLETELY separate procedure. Well, it's a miata so maybe not completely... (gay)

i need to get use to driving something this low agian heh... i really need to have the car looked over good soon, before i put it through that

 

[kcbhiw]

So bring it to the auto-x this weekend...at least to hang out. There are plenty of Miata nerds to give it a thorough once over.

 

[TinmanMS6]

Troof. You could not break a Miata in a better place.

3/30 ARSCCA Points 3 @ Turner Field Green

I will try to make it out since its on sunday shouldnt be a problem, unless i get pulled over for not having a tag

 

[Shadow102]

You have my number right? LMK and bring the car on down to my work we can throw it on the rack and give it the once over and take care of things while we are there

The slave cyl is the only major thing (besides brakes lol). I had mine go out on my way home from an autocross. Driving half way from Turner field to Duluth without the ability to disengage the clutch was... interesting. Fortunately, it's only about a 30 minute job to replace. Just make sure you have a flare nut wrench. It's maybe $30 for a new one from advance auto. Only hard part was figuring out that it was easier to hook up the new slave cyl. to the clutch fluid line before bolting it back to the trans.

The brakes are real similar to the protege. The rears have got a hex screw that sits under a bolt on the back of the caliper to retract the piston, and rotors can be had for about $60 total for all 4 @ NAPA

Hope that helps.
