Very nice!

[sleepyzzz]

thank you
a few more of the engine and interior. my first fix was a cracked rear view mirror. next i replaced the dead battery with a new Optima. i also found the voltage regulator not putting out enough juice, so that was bumped up to 13.8 volts. also someone had tied the front side lights to the turn signals, and i had that changed so they are on with the headlights.

Miata seats will be recovered with seat warmers when i take it to have the new soft top installed on my frame.

and i had to include this after getting my personal plate in the mail

Nice plate Butch. How is the beast running now?

it is running ok, but not as good as i would like. smoking is as bad as ever, and i go thru a quart of oil just about every fill up of gas. i plan on getting the E1 dizzy installed by next weekend.

Looks like a real nice pick up

the dizzy will make a world of difference

pictures of my car with the new stayfast canvas soft top i purchased way back around Christmas. i had the seats recovered also, with seat warmers added. please don't rake me over the coals for where the switches were placed. i also purchased the matching canvas boot cover, but it still has to be fitted around the roll bar in the car. any suggestions on how to attach this down along the bottom?

I like! Gotta stay warm somehow with the top down in February.

thanks, i was thinking late fall, early spring. right after having all that done, my tranny messed up. so i am down for awhile.

new 15X6 Pannasports and Goodyear Eagle GT 195 60R15 tires. the old tires were 205s and rear wheels rubbed the inner fenderwell. now these look like they are too small. guess lowering springs in front will be on the to do list next.

[Skyman]

There's a set of Nissan front comp springs on ebay right now. That's what I have, and really like the front height.

Kyle, thanks for the heads up. those were posted as a link to the EBay site on here and i checked them out. would love to have them, if they don't go too high.
