What did you do to your NA today? 2016 version

[BRGNA8]

My na8 has the na6 positioned mirror, are the very late na8s similar to the nb?

The earlier NA8's do. The later NA8's have them stuck on the windshield like the NB's yes

It's been a busy couple of days! Replaced blower motor and fan, since mine was unbalanced. While there, I replaced the gasket on the clamp seal, so most of my cold air isn't escaping behind the glove box anymore. The ac blows nice and cold now! Replaced the cruise control switch on the dash, so it works all the time, instead of just 50% of the time. One of the chrome rings on my kg works panel popped off, so I took out the gauges again and took everything apart so I could fix that, and readjust the gas, oil pressure, and tach needles. They were all reading high from my failed attempt at an install earlier this year.
also replaced the stock shift boot with a grey and black leather one from Redline.

The last thing I did was install some usb ports into the car using a Y cable with spade connectors using the lighter connector on the wiring harness. The lighter now still works if I need it for anything, and the usb ports come out in the passenger footwell, until I can find one of the blanking plates from the late NA8 for the courtesy light. I'll mount them there once I acquire one.

Last emissions test completed today. It will no longer needs to be tested here because of age. 10:1 compression, head work, header, hi-flow cat, 14* timing. No worries, passed. Lol!

You still have emissions testing in GA?

Around Atlanta, yes. Plug in for OBD2, dyno rollers for OBD1. The testers HATE the roller testing. I figure they have three more years and they probably won't need them anymore? It took me 10 minutes on my '05 vehicle 30 minutes on the Miata.

Got the new brakes on last night. Seems like the only time I can work on anything out in the shop without sweating buckets is in the middle of the night.





Centric Premium rotors and G-Loc GS-1 pads.

Also picked up the 25th Roadster Anni. sticker I had made up. My original one was falling apart, so I finally had the guys down at the sign shop I know remake it in black with silver.

We had to grab my Dremel from the house and on the way back to the shop, Zach and I both noticed how it would make for a cool pic.

I'm just thinking 'hovermiata' nice.

New slave cylinder. Still balls hot. Thankfully my wife was willing to help me bleed it. This definitely cured the clutch flutter and intermittent notchiness.

It's back in the garage but failed smog at idle today, got a loaner cat to go in tonight. There's a shop that stays open to midnight 7 days a week out here, crazy. Registration and plate stuff tomorrow
