Just got this today... Along with news that I'll be out of town for 2 weeks. :/

Fortunately for me I can wait. It's just too danged hot to drive the Miata sometimes. 95 temps with 60%+ humidity..... No thanks.
 
oooo, i was maybe gonna trade with evan but doing a thing with you would be loads easier. do you have the caps though too?
 
So... My sister texted me yesterday and asked if I can take a look at Abe's (my P5's new name) e-brake. Apparently, it didn't hold that well can the car found itself at the bottom of the parking lot, jumped a curb, and was 6" away from hitting another car. I told her to leave it in gear and buy some wheel chocks.
 
I have this horrible, horrible feeling that the e-brake cable is in the same shape as the hood release cable... meaning it's in 3 pieces now. Fixing the ebrake means I get to spend more money on a car I'm not driving that may only have a couple months left in it. Even less if she doesn't check the damn oil.
 
I got some of me them there BHR Coils and now my cars darn gum fast as ever.



....especially after I improved the design by removing (it more or less jumped ship somewhere between Rt 8 and 15) the heat shield today. 1.2lbs of Weight savings!

Except for the random valve (we think?) that sticks in the intake manifold. And the clutch which feels like its on the way out, and the MAF sensor which throws a code anytime it gets rainy.

Pretty sure the blown foglight and burnt out blinkers are killing my 1/4 mile time too.
 
Still waiting for the Focus to arrive at the dealership. Delayed in shipping is all the info we got. I reminded Amanda to tell them we don't want a dealership sticker slapped on the back when it comes in.

Let me know how you like the chassis brace. Oh, and a friend of mine is going to be developing a beefier power plant frame for the Miatas. I'll keep you posted. ;)
