Parcel Farce / Royal Fail we call them.
We call it Royal Snail and the other one Parcel Farce. ;)
rzcrew have a european dropship presence out of france - I've used them, they're good, and there's jdmdistro in Ireland, who I've also used (good enough!) as I mentioned before.

On the smoke front. I've...
The compression and performance seem to be good but I want some numbers 'so I know'. I've got the ITV/MOT test tomorrow. Once that's over I'll head over to a shop that might do the test.
I've done the soak twice now, once for 8 hours, a 2nd time for 24 hours. I've got a borescope so I will have a go.
there is no PCV anymore - I've configured a draft tube arrangement - filter on...

I'm about to get it back from the body shop and I'm re-visiting this now.
looking at a more aggressive process, after doing some research and thinking. wishful thinking ? perhaps. I'm ready to try...

This is a related question..
does anyone make a non-shit carpet for the MX5/Miata ? I mean, actually as good as the original mazda ones ?
Just waiting for the post where we're given yet more common sense advice. giggle.
I do wonder if anyone's swapped the ND2 engine into an NA yet :D
I see your .. Commuter Miata
I raise you 4.788 8K RPM Screamer Miata
4K @ 60 probably.
Everyone knows bigger numbers are better numbers.
There's a 'youngtimers' site selling apparently rather nice centrecap reps.
