What have you done to your Miata today?

Autocrossed yesterday. This morning I have replaced both passenger door windows (old ones had some sort of pitting all over) and fixed my saggy glovebox door. Somewhat impatiently waiting on my supercharger oil kit, once it shows I can do that, install my engine mounts, '05 header and header blanket. I'll also be installing stiffer diff mounts as well.
 
Drove mine to work today. Finished it all up on Saturday. Well... not all of it, but enough to make it drivable again. Slapped the 16x7 5Zigens from my Civic on it for the time being. Looks pretty good with them actually. I'll get a pic or two here shortly.
 
Parts finally came in yesterday. New bumper and finally my mazdaspeed lip. So I'm dropping off the car tomorrow for painting.

Test fitted the lip.

Been saving up parts over the winter, now that it's warm stuff is migrating onto the car. In various states of completeness:

-New60-trim T3/T4 Turbo, I have a 50trim wheel and housing in case the 60trim is a bit much
-New aluminum Radiator and hoses
-New heater core and hoses
-New horns (hella supertone)
-NB rear suspension mounts, fronts were already done
-New oil breather tank
-New coolant overflow bottle
-New shifter boots
-New intake manifold gasket (previous owner screwed it up so it leaked coolant)

2.5" stainless tubing, vband clamps, and a borla turbo muffler and in pipeline, going to make a turboback exhaust sometime this spring I hope.
 
YAY, drove my msm for the first time in 5 months...oh what fun....then i went to the shop to install my exhaust..well everything was going well until i broke the last remaining stud off the turbo...ordered 4 new studs and nuts...we'll have to finish it tomorrow...i was so pumped to take her for a spin this afternoon...:(
 
Nice Andrew.

Sorry to hear Mark. That's a PITA.

Swapped out my rear swaybar bushings for stiffer teflon ones.
 
Drove it down to Mid-Ohio and back this weekend. Also, got into the ECU and played with the tune a little. Hopefully it will help a little bit. I think my plugs are fouled out tho. Having issues in boost.
 
Oo... I should do that soon. Factory recommended change interval was like 65k. I'm at 67 now.
