Anyone got time and space to help me do 60,000 on my NB? I have the parts all in my possession from Trussville and I will probably be picking up fluids locally. I am still struggling with some debts, so I can offer to buy a modest amount of food and booze to whoever would like to have me over and help me wrench.
Drop a reply or shoot me an IM, I am free this coming weekend and that's about as much as I know so far.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!
Are you talking about the timing belt service?Quote:

Thats the prior VW owner talking... 60K or else on the TBelt. :D
Since it is non-interference on a Miata not a biggie if it breaks.
Just wanted to clarify with the OP what he needed done.
Big board link suggests it at 60K... however this could be for the 1.6? :confused:

The interval is 100k miles for CA cars and 60k miles for everyone else. ;)Quote:

You might not want too much of my help, though, as my first t-belt service ended up taking three tries over two days and as many garages. :rolleyes:
I still have that stupid gasket, too...somewhere....
Thread Jack here... why is that? I've got a CA car and I noticed that in the book...Quote:

LOL @ Google Ads... is "do my" causing it?
I see Gran Turismo 5 ads... perhaps you've been visiting one too many of these sites? ::BaHump::
Yeah I was getting an ad for sexy singles. :rolleyes:Quote:

LOL, c'mon folks... I am seriously looking for space and help in doing the 60,000 maintenance in exchange for food and drink!
Bueller? Bueller?
I don't have shop manual, timing light, or experience but I have a garage and some tools if you're looking for workspace. If Carazzie doesn't mind.
I asked what you consider a 60K to be in the 2nd post.Quote:

I can pitch in some labor, if the timing to right. I have a timing light and a manual I could bring.
I am free this Friday and Sunday. All I would probably need to do is get coolant, gear oil, diff oil locally before rolling up. I know there's one thing I need to pick up, but it's not coming to mind... I will probably be able to take an image of it or something when there's more light out.
