    Hey Randy,

    Glad to see you found the forum. jdcanadian often has tech days so keep an eye out for that. He is now in Princeton.

    I thought I had a few photos of your car but can't seem to find them. It really is a neat color on the NA Miatas.
    ...and across the line.

    Is JD still doing those? Thought he was on hiatus while he got settled into his new crib. Wonder if his shop is heated... :)

    Are those the only 'tech' sessions going on right now?

    Not sure where Princeton is, sounds pretty far though...

    Yeah, i know all about the gulf cars with the orange...thought about it actually, but decided to do just powder blue like my old TR4, i think with the all black everything else (including the RB flat black wheels) it looks very retro...kinda like having a 60s roadster without the 60s british issues...:)

    Mazda did use british rear main seals just to keep the drip alive.

    Well, just wanted to say goodbye to the forum from me and my powder blue. My Miata was officially totaled in a hit and run accident 3 weeks ago. The insurance company is giving me 15K for it (i had it extra insured thru Liberty Mutual for all the goodies i had on it), so it was a no brainer to not buy it back salvage (they would have whacked the 15K down to 4K if i did that!). So, my powder blue 95 is being sent to the slave auction... But, 15K is nice. I may be in a Miata again sometime, not sure...

    Take care yall

    Rainman, sorry for your loss. That's a terribly sad story.

    For 15K you can get a really nice Miata though.
