You guys have fun I'm leaving for Tulsa.
Warm Hallett up for me. I'll be there next weekend.
We started at 830 and I drove the car home at 6am. Not a record by any means but we ran into a few problems. I'll just say that the clutch alignment tool weighed about 73lbs. :)
A million thanks to these guys:
DI
torpedan
ray_sir_6 (and Theresa)

I'm really sorry if I miss anybody. I was under the car for so long I'm sure people came and went that I never saw. Thanks sooooooo much for your help. What a great bunch of guys!!
you get the exhaust put on? hows it sound?
Did you say something about the clutch alignment tool? Team CB at work... Transmissions lying around? We don't need no stinkin' tool!
I hate to break stuff when people who know what they're doing are around. I enjoyed taking pictures, though! We're glad we could help, and I certainly enjoyed being a part of the process. I think I did help wake folks up when there wasn't a drain pan under the car for "Drain the radiator, part deux."

I went back sat at about noon and put the rest of the exhaust on, changed the diff, tranny, and turret fluids and installed the new shift boots. The exhaust sounds great, the tranny feels even better than before (and before wasnt bad!) and the car runs great!
I think the bad idle/missing when we first started it was a combination of the timing being off and the motor having sat for a while. Now that I've got some time on it, its running great. The tick also seems to be completely gone.
Sounds like it can be called a complete success Evil! Glad to help! :D (I want to see that time lapse video! 8) )
Nathan digitized the vid yesterday but it was 90meg. I'll post it up if somebody can host it.
man, thats alot of space.

i dont even know what that is.
Enjoy!!!
Let me know if you remember any more of the "inside jokes" I should add to the write up.

Fear not, fwMiata... you were definitely with us in spirit (or spirited cursing) even after you left!
Good writeup! You got torpedan and ray_sir_6 backwards tho. ;)
