    What the heck is up with those plug wires? Not made for the Miata?

    Shorter path = less resistance. Maybe the PO was on to something?

    Good thing it is a wasted spark system - Those wires are 1-4-3-2 from left to right, and mine are 4-1-2-3 from left to right. I wonder which way they are supposed to be?

    Edit - I thought mine matches the picture in the .net garage, but that picture doesn't match either of ours, since it is a 1.6.

    Officially 4-1-2-3, but you're right, it doesn't really matter. As long as 1-4 are on a side and 2-3 are on the other.

    There goes the huge performance gains I had anticipated.

    Nice Andy...........
    I use 3M rubbing compound, then a polish, then a wax to fix those glazed up headlights. By hand or an electric buffer, either will do. Since I usually have all that in the man cave it makes it easy.....

    Thanks, now I need some input from someone in the BTDT Dept. UPS just delivered my new mirror and I'm not sure how to attach it to the door panel. No threads I can see.

    I'm not 100% on this but it looks like the holes in the door may be threaded. If you rotate the base of the mirror like you would when you fold the mirrors in can you access the mounting holes? If this is the case you just need to find some screws to hold that sucker on and remove the adhesive from the tape.
