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

Oh any word on a good local body shop? And thanks for putting up with me guys

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

[OZMDD]

The bearings are easy to change, once you drop the transmission.

[Turblowdmiata]

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

[speester1]

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.

I am impressed. Most people don't know that reference.

Just cause I don't own one does not mean I don't know how to work on one. My wife used to own a 94 and I did a lot of work on it. In addition I have worked on other members cars.

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.

[Turblowdmiata]

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

[wizzurp]

Air gun on the flywheel bolts makes everything much easier.

Where was the trailer?

[channelmaniac]

Highland Village here.

For body work, I've been very happy with Caliber Collision in Corinth, just on the south end of Denton off of I35E.

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. :)
