"The 2017 Miata New Year's Challenge Thread!"

I don't have any major plans yet, but I would like to save up for a clean six speed NB and keep it all motor. When I said clean, I mean clean body no need for a paint job.

That looks awesome!

I'm hoping to get a majority of the maintenance stuff done over the winter. The rest will get done eventually.

- Get my head rebuilt (leaky exhaust valves)
- Do a timing belt/water pump job
- Delete A/C
- Detail engine bay
- Install MW header
- Remove washer fluid bottle (ABS version) and replace with cappuccino bottle
- Replace stock radiator with Mishimoto and slim fans
- Sandblast and powder coat various bits
- Install sound deadening stuff at some point
- Find some dress up stuff for the engine bay and interior
- Rebuild/refurb soft frame and install new soft top
- Send my dash, console/radio surround and gauge hood off to have the redline leather interior installed

I want to pay off my credit cards

I need to do that as well XD

Keep the interior clean, as usual. Paint is awful so no worries there.

My 2017 goal is to stop licking frogs. No, really.
