[Zelse]

Sounds good to me!

Nice car Marc. You might want to try the Motorcraft synthetic fluid instead of the MT 90.

you noticed a difference? i need to do my tranny soon

 

[Zelse]

Thanks everyone. I get the MT-90 for free and I heard a lot of people like it for the NA, and feels great in my RX-8 so I just kind of stuck with it. I'll keep that in mind though Bruce.

Sending her off tonight to Ben to do some overhaul to it and fix up some much needed things. Can't wait to drive her after!

I run redline mt-90 in mine and love it.

Ran MT90 before and then switched to the MC stuff. Better cold response. There is a thread on Miata.net

[bazooka joe]

what was it?

"I finally DID IT" lol to be like all the other threads on here.

Congrats! Have you done all of the upgrades/mods or did she come with some? Either way, she looks very clean.

 

[Zelse]

Thanks! I did all of the upgrades/mods/etc except for the speakers, headunit, and catback exhaust. All of the restoration (which she needed a lot of and still needs more) and modifications were done by either myself or some buddies and I.
