You know when you buy a car that can make it through an event without needing another gearbox you'll be out of excuses too right? ;)Quote:

The car also got a new roof, and I will need to buy paint for the wheels.
Do you also plan to change your avatar? ;))Quote:

put gas in it.
They are a +35mm offset. Would be a tough fit on an NC unless you pulled the fenders or are a hardparker.Quote:

On the to-do list:
- New wheels
- New tires
- Inspect belts & maybe replace
- Fix small oil leak (valve cover gasket I think/hope)
- Troubleshoot/fix EGR tube leak
- Troubleshoot/fix cooling problem
- Figure out the best way to spend any left over money.
New wheels arrived yesterday. Everything is still needs to be done/ordered/picked up.
Installed FCM suspension last summer, still utilizing the OEM wheels. I did this bass-ackwards, as I was debating on 8" vs 9" 6UL wheels. I finally ordered the 9s earlier this week. I sure hope they don't stop producing the Ventus R-S3 in 225/45/15.
If all goes as planned, this is the last year as a daily driver for the MX-5 and it will be a trailer queen in 2012. I'm working with MER on a couple of things in the interim. STR is seriously tempting and more fiscally responsible (except for the cost of bodywork to get my fenders "legal"), but I'm addicted to the crack that is Hoosier so I'll be staying in CSP.
Putting the thing back together and hopefully driving it before I can claim it's been apart for another full year (so I have till April). Also planning on installing all the parts I've had sitting since about 2005. I told myself that if I don't install whatever parts by June this year I'm selling whatever it is. Same with all my "spares" that I insisted on keeping despite knowing I would never need/use them.
I had my security system removed last year and no more problems. I should have done this years ago.Quote:
