Well the engine for the Miata is here! I was told that it would take a week and it only took 3 days! I havent even ordered the seals from MMS yet. If I buy seal today after work does anyone want to work on this tomorrow?

Y'all all have fun. I'm leaving town in a few hours and will be back in about 2 weeks.
Have fun at Hallet! I'll probably drop by in the morning to offer some (im)moral support.Quote:

I'm not sure what Gary has in mind, but I think he said we need to do some tuning tonight. He is supposed to give me a call once he is in town and settled back into the garage. :) PM me where you guys are going to be and I can try to stop by if it works out.Quote:

Fine by me! Let me buzz bean and let him know that I no longer have a commitment (other than changing the oil in the Civic)...Quote:

Speaking of, I stopped in on the way only to find Titus' car in pieces! I've never seen a 1.6's insides up close and personal!Quote:
