I couldn't make it last year (car wasn't ready yet) but there's a good chance I'll make it this year. :)

Seen 5500 in 5th before. 225/50/16 rear tires, R154, 3.73 gear. Speedo's been broke for a while, but I know rpms don't lie. :) Saw over 5k in my SS once, in 5th gear... speedo was damn near buried, and that was with the tops off and windows down, and that car is 100% stock. Scary thing is, it...

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Bookmark the above link, it'll come in handy eventually. ;)

Sorry to hear man. Honestly I can't add much that hvyman and Poodles haven't already said. Get some rest and start again another day. Hell, take a day off to recoup your energy and thoughts if you can. Obsessing about it probably won't help, especially if you aren't rested enough to think...

Sat in one, been a couple years, I just remember it being a lot like a c5 Vette, everything just kinda feels right. Same thing with a Mk3, it's always fun letting friends sit in my driver's seat, trying to squeeze in where my skinny ass sits. :) Holy shit, that Hommer guy... that's not what I...

Weird, people still listen to radio? Huh... must be better when you don't live in the cowboy state. That said, I didn't know we had an antenna built into the hatch glass. Is it the same thing as the defroster grid lines?

The overall interior of the Mk4 has always seemed... bland... to me. I do however sympathize with your love of the driver 'cockpit', although the Mk3 has a very similar setup, it's just not curved as much... If you were good with fiberglass, I'm sure it wouldn't be TOO hard to mold yourself a...

AHHH! I hadn't even noticed that, I figured they were 86-90's...

Well, if you're looking for a reason the Miata guys switched from the 5.0 to the LS, you can ask all the Mustangs that I picked on in my SS when I was driving that... That said, you make a good point about the availability of the LS back then, I hadn't really considered that. :) To the OP, I...

Pics of your setup might help? If I understand you correctly, you just want to add a pair of tweeters to your car? I've seen people attach them to the inside of the door mirrors, on the little triangle things... Seems as ideal a place as any to me, and it's not too far from the door speakers. ;)

Speaker covers are rare? Since when? I have two sitting in my car right now! :p

This used to be a common swap for Miatas back in the 90's, but they've all since swapped to the GM LS engines (for a good reason). However, that said, if it'll fit in a Miata, I can't see it NOT fitting in a Mk3.

That's certainly a unique setup there. Thanks for sharing man! :)

I promise I'll never be using it again!:slap:

You might do what I did and go with BKR5E, gapped at ~.028. Did that, fixed my stumbling issue after installing y-pipe completely. :)

You know... I gotta say, this is kinda inspiring. You're traveling ~6000+ miles to visit family/friends, and go watch a bunch of crazies see how fast they can go. If you don't mind my asking though, what sort of budget does this sort of adventure require? Just kinda looking for a ballpark. I've...

I picked up one of the original fiberglass (pretty damn sure it's not a replica) Bomex Bonneville bumpers from JHOT about a year ago. It needs a bit of touching up, as it's quite used, but looks nice. Honestly though, it'll likely be cheaper to get one of the Shineauto replicas, and probably...

You can get those coin pockets from Toyota, they're fairly inexpensive if I remember correctly. As for sealing up the gap on those rear pods, I would recommend strips of 3m double sided adhesive strips. they're kinda like a foam that's ~1" wide and sticky on both ends. Or perhaps some Great...

Get yourself a 3/4" pipe connector at Checker or somewhere, it looks just like a straight piece of pipe that's barbed. Get that, a couple hose clamps, and bypass your heater core. I had to do that to my old 7m when the heater valve (that thing on the firewall near the wiper motor) decided to...

I know someone who would trade you brackets... *points at self* ;)
