What have you done to your Miata today?

I would suggest checking the bore very carefully before reassembling. It is possible that there is a hairline fracture in the cylinder wall.
It could also be a leak through the intake gasket from one of the coolant channels into the intake for cylinder 3.
Just some thoughts.
Ah, never mind, it would appear to be a feature unique to the 1990-1993 1.6L engines.
Heh, took me a couple weeks to figure out... I had never seen or heard of anything like that before.
Anyway, over the last week-ish:
1.8L sized 6-puck ACT clutch installed w/ flywheel
Front brake calipers painted
Front upper balljoints cleaned up, re-greased and re-booted
Front suspension links and rear uprights are half-way through de-rusting and painting
Suspension links mounted on new rear subframe
Subframe brace painted
Replaced plastic bushings on the shifter
Found a leak (I think) in the shifter turret
Ordered parts:
4 brake rotors
All e-brake cables
Brake bleeders
Going to order:
FM Stage 2 NB Suspension Kit
Stainless steel braided brake lines
So much to do...
Sprung. It's still a bit of a b****, heh.
Nice dude. I need to do something about tires or I won't be able to drive my car this year, but since work so kindly decided to **** us over 3 different ways... Not sure what's gonna happen with the cars.
Anyone know of any electrical / controls jobs open near them?

nice andrew!
Did a lot of painting a installing of new bushings over the weekend. The front uprights and half-shafts are also painted, but not pictured here. Last bits left to do are the rear brake calipers, I am not looking forward to stripping and painting those...
My garage is a total mess, but a good candidate for the new Android panorama photograph features.

nice garage, good progress on the car
I'm half way done with the audio install, so far the change is really good. The amp is big but light, so it ended up taking the space of the spare tire attached to a particle board. When you look at the trunk, you'll never know its there. Still need to wire up the sub and install the tru-boost.

Thanks! I borrowed the idea from a friend's body shop. Great for checking paint, also great for throwing light into wheel wells and under the car. At some point I'd like to install some more lights lower to the ground.
Thanks!
Yeah I always have problems with getting light into the wheel well area, and I have tons of ceiling mounted light in my garage.
I'd love to have floor mounted lights, but I think something like this would be more cost effective: http://www.carguygarage.com/xracingredlighty.html
