  1. Radiator Cooling Fan Recondition

    I’ve decided to add “unusual” maintenance items to my blog. Hopefully, this will give people inspiration to try things that most people would bypass in the name of convenience or because they haven’t tried the procedure before. This link refers to the original conversation about it on the forums: http://www.dfwmiata.com/showthread.php?15020-Gonna-replace-a-dead-radiator-fan&highlight=

    We did this over a year ago, and I’ll be honest at this point and tell you that my ...

  2. Fat Cat Motorsports Spec Miata NB shock mount kit

    FCM's instructions: http://fatcatmotorsports.com/FCM_MT_...ns_2_14_10.pdf

    This kit is for NA Miatas with Bilstein or Koni shocks and 2.5" springs installed. I bought my kit from Fat Cat Motorsports but you can also get them from Mazdaspeed now.

    The kit I ordered included 4 new NB top hats.
    The instructions are self explanatory. The only tips I can add is to rough up the surface of the spring adapters with sandpaper to help the glue stick. I ...

  3. Console Trunk Release Temporary Disable Modification (Trunk Lock Mod)

    This one came from the Pointy board, but originally from a gent named Rod Roller from the Central Alabama Miata Society.

    Well, I have joined the ranks of the trunk lock modders. The mod works perfectly. It'll be nice to know the stuff in my trunk (when I put anything in there) is secure from potential break in.

    The procedure is simple enough, and all you have to do is grind away a small tab ...

  4. Bosch H4 conversion kit

    Wow! A blog. Guess I'll test it out by posting about my mods and allow others to possibly enjoy what I have to say.

    Bosch H4 conversion kit: http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?...umber=28-17100

    I'll start by talking about my headlight upgrade. Back in Feb. '10, the Flyin' Miata guys offered up a group buy on some H4 headlights that they found over in Europe. The price they were offering was pretty darned good - $50 for a pair with bulbs. ...

  5. Ebay Radiator Install

    My stock radiator started turning brown. Not real brown, but the fact that it started at all indicated to me that I should start looking. After all, for all I knew, that was the original radiator, and thus could be over ten years old with over 249,000 miles on it. Not wanting to be stuck with a cracked radiator when it decided it was time to go, I decided to look for a new radiator. And as I have done with radiator replacements on previous cars, I decided to get a larger radiator without plastic ...
