i dont work for them, i was sponsored and did some work around the shop. depends on how much my pay would be, since it's quite a commute up there and i only have certain days i could work. but if you could ask that'd be great

^just saw ur post right now, i'll ask, doubt it'll be enough to be worth your time and travel.

as the car's been sitting:


Got these:

[^1.8L driveshaft, axles from a 1999 NB Miata, and an exhaust]

Plus this:

1.8L 4.3 ratio Torsen diff from 99 NB

OEM Diff Mounts:




Diff Mount with Cup (installed, this is upside down)


So I busted out the drill:

Ended up with:

So I can stuff it with 3M Window Weld. I tried the PL brand polyurethane on the RSX with good results, because I couldn't find the 3M Window Weld before. Found out this time around they sell it @ Autozone... but at $17.99 a tube!!! This better be stiffer than the PL brand poly I used in the RSX.

OEM Motor Mounts and cups up top and new hardened rubber (Mazdaspeed Competition wannabe mounts) bottom




Driver side motor mount is supposed to be 1 piece, rubber completely came off the mount:


Tsudo N1 ($30) vs Megan exhaust ($0)



The Tsudo will go on my friend's 95 M-edition Miata... it has a testpipe and is raspy as hell, hopefully this solves his problem as it is NOT raspy @ ALL, which I liked about it.

SS w/ teflon coating clutch and brake lines:


Front Passenger:


Front Driver:


Rear Driver:


Rear Passenger:


SS clutch line:





^crazy ass leak from possibly my CAS (cam angle sensor) O-ring.

That's it for now, ATE Super Blue replaced old ATE super blue in the clutch and brake lines. My bleeder bag was dirty, don't know if it was from the brake or clutch lines...

Had some Motul 75W90 laying around that was supposed to be for the RSX, so much for that lol. Put it in the Miata's diff instead.... gonna drive around a bit first so warm the oil and tranny fluids. I have Redline fluid ready to go in for the tranny, I'll see how the diff likes the Motul.

Some other things taken care of:
- Rear Tow Hook finally installed, front and rear painted green :laughing:
- Raised ride height 1/2" AT shock height
- Took care of a rattling noise from the driver side door
- New exhaust mani to cylinder head gasket, all new gaskets in exh system except for the tiny ass gasket btwn header and test pipe (couldn't find one to fit to replace it)
- new plugs installed
- etc etc

Still more things to address.
- ordering a roll bar soon
- settling ride height and alignment
- remove soft top w/ glass window pending decision... it is an extra 50 lbs weight ballast
- install roll bar
- need front spacers to match the rear 20mms. not super important but w/e.
