I'm actually from the colony. I recently moved up by 380. Couldn't look cool going on 25 living with the parents lol. I've heard about red line a little bit. I went with royal purple cause ive heard good things and orielys carries it in store. It's my daily driver so I want her to be reliable more than anything.
Arsonist? Lol
Yeah i would like to know what kind of redline yowe using :)
Oh any word on a good local body shop? And thanks for putting up with me guys :D

how big a deal is it to change a throw out and pilot bearing? In the next year I'd like to replace the shocks and brakes. I think I can manage the brakes, but I have no clue how to attack shocks.
Oh Bruce Willis(hudsonhawk) appreciate the input lol. Did they leave a lil chocolate on the pillow ;) jk
The bearings are easy to change, once you drop the transmission. :(
Brakes are easy tricky on miatas if your not paying attention different then most cars nonow stocks and struts arnt too bad for it down to about an hour and a half for all 4 corners
ive honestly yet to do a clutch on a miata can't say lookin forward to it but it shouldn't be too bad
Im in Valley Ranch, I have done all three. You can get a timing wheel(crank) to advance/retard your timing, suspension and clutch are tougher at my age.
I'm a new miata owner (99 NB) and in the general area (Corinth). I'm like the OP and quickly becoming a Miata info sponge. I've already done a few general maintenance items, but I'm about to go big league with a timing belt, water pump and radiator repalcement job in the very near future.
Yeap, Rude Dog here and I live in The Colony.
2009 Red with the RUDEDOG Longhorn license plate.
If you see my car give me a shout anytime.
I am impressed. Most people don't know that reference.Quote:

The clutch all depends on how stuck the flywheel bolts are. On one we had to use a 4 foot breaker bar to turn the crank while a wrench was held stationary on the flywheel bolt to break it loose.
Damn^^ I've never had an issue like that everything's easy with the right tools though just got done doing a side job clutch on a 2000 celica don't do it if someone asks haha
Air gun on the flywheel bolts makes everything much easier.
Where was the trailer?Quote:

I've done a LOT of Miata work over the years... engine swaps, head swaps, alternators, brakes, clutch slaves, top, etc... now I have a new one so I'm crossing fingers for years of no work other than a few mods. :)
