What have you done to your Miata today?

Whats the plan Mark?

Swapped out the clutch master. Dropped one of the nuts and spent 10 mins locating it. Will drive it to see if the master was the issue. I have the slave on hand if needed.

Also ordered a replacement coolant expansion tank as I'm seeing some failures on m.net. The new part was updated after my car was built.

Do yourself a favor and get the Ninja Tool from FM if you don't have it yet. It'll make that job SO much easier.

Getting it ready for racing Mark?

Parts donor car Andrew? What's the plan?

Yes, just a parts donor. Local miata parts stripper needed it out of his way. I'm keeping a bunch of suspension spares, and I've got a couple friends that have been eyeing some of the few parts remaining on it.

Good idea to pick up a new coolant tank Bruce. Didnt want to wait for GWRs next batch of aluminum tanks?

Nice Mark. One step closer. Is your goal to have her fully prepped for next season?

Love it Andrew and nice score!

Later today Ill be driving over to a local restaurant for the local clubs Holiday luncheon.

Yes! I didn't make one autox this past year! I had taken the car off the road and just never had time to work in her.

Too pricey for me although it looks great. With my Motorsports discount the part was 46 bucks and has been updated since my car was built. Besides the clutch master ate up the rest of my dough.

Too bad Mark, but wait, don't you have another miata????.

Also ordered 2 different cell phone holders from Amazon. Magnetic ones from Wiz Gear. They were cheap and will see if they work for me.

Tires on the new one, no good for autox....[emoji594][emoji107]

 

[CTt3P5]

Not a bad price Bruce. The money saved can go towards those new wheels. Good luck with the new mounts.

That's an easy fix Mark, buy new tires!

Made some subtle changes in the engine bay to dress it up. First up and maybe not so subtle is a custom oil cap I bought from a member over on miata.net. I thought about buying the MS3 oil cap but they only come in red. In addition I replaced the stock nuts for the air box, coolant tank, A/C bracket, windshield washer tank and ABS bracket with aluminum flanged dome nuts from ProBolt-USA.com.

Oil Cap

Air Box Before and After

Coolant Tank and A/C Bracket Before and After

Windshield Washer Tank and ABS Bracket Before and After (For the windshield washer tank, I replaced the bolt with a 6mm socket cap bolt and 23mm drilled washer)

So clean with those new fasteners. Looks great Jeff, can't wait to see the new coolant reservoir.

cleaned the garage and made room for the miata... i ordered a new PS belt and once that comes in, ill go for one more blast this year and then pull the car into her resting spot for the next 4 months.
