What have you done to your Miata today?

I drove it across the country like a ******* Boss.
 
yeah really like the sound...got to drive it around today

put new spark plugs in it, new plastic shifter bushing, installed the front MSM suspension, and put on a set of 16" '03 sport wheels with some used nitto nt450 215/40 r16 tires on it. the rear suspension will be going on tomorrow
 
She'll fully come to the darkside, soon enough...

except i have been driving the car more lately just because i dont want to drive mine until it gets fixed.

Put the rear suspension in tonight and put a good alignment on it. The front right camber eccentric is wore out though i could only get -.5* camber on it...would like a little more. car feels much better though not as soft anymore just would like it to be alot lower
 
haha... "here your keys".
10 min later
"I'll take them keys back"
:P
lol. its really cool that you working to improve it for her. much respect.

on other news. My passanger side window is going down about 1/2 way then getting stuck. so I will try to fix that on the weekend if I have time along with the antena. it seems it's shorting out as it tries to go up. thinking of just removing it. I don't like listening to the radio anyway.

I also have to fix my passenger side window on my mx-3. 0_o coincidence?? + get a speedometer cable for the mx-3. v_v
 
Replaced the plugs and idle bypass valve. Old plugs were NGK Iridiums, correct heat range but had some miles on them (gap was above 0.040, TDR recommends 0.032). Color of the tips were good though.
 
Striped the '93. Pretty much all that's left is this year's tires, which I ordered today. Hope they'll be here so I can get them mounted Tuesday night. Wednesday we leave for a Miata get-together in Bristol TN, with a side trip to Deals Gap.

So the '90 is white with BRG stripes and the '93 is BRG with white stripes. That's not wierd, is it?
 
Mirror images!

Yesterday had her cornerweighted and aligned. Drives great now, I can take corners quite a bit faster. Going to be fun at the next autocross. Today I finally received the 'charger bypass hose from Moss so that's put on. The old one was a wreck.
 
Turned a silly side-exit exhaust that was really annoying from this:

And made a front license plate mount:

yeah that makes sense. if its just for that then its all good. I never really like convertibles but I wanted to get a nice rwd mazda. so it was a miata or a high maintenance rx-7 or rx-8. I gave in and got the NB because I figured I could just get a hardtop. The rest of the car is still great for what I want with it so I like it. maybe it will grow on you. not so much for what is being done to it but for the fact that it does what you need it to do.
 
Have some fun with it, Take it through the back roads and compare it to your P5. I only got my car because I never had a convertible before and I when I bought it; it was dark and thought it was dark blue LOL. For the longest time I didn't like my car just because of the color but after a few things done to it I like it now. haha.
