What did you do to your NA today 2013?

^ Car looks nice!


Last night it was ZERO fahrenheit (not a lot of snow on the ground). Yeap ZERO. But I was filling withdrawals, so I went for a 30-40 min drive. I felt soooo much better, and so did the Miata. It took forever to fully warm up!

U R both EVIL!

Just saw a guy during lunch driving his NC on non-winter tires. It was a bout 19 degrees. GUTSY! Good thing he wasn't actually driving a Miata!

Had ALL THE COOLANT HOSES replaced, plus swapped in the radiator of an Auto NA. That was ALL THE COOLANT HOSES. Why I'm I capitalizing? Because Skip Cannon and I spent 10 FREAKING hours getting those hoses out. They were vulcanized and to get them out took every trick known to Skip. Oil cooler removed? yeap. CAS and coilpack removed? Yeap. Intake cross tube, and only GOD knows what else? Yeap, removed too...


On the plus side, Skip found a couple of minor leaks along the crosstube intake, so I picked up a bit more power, and that it is always nice...

Pulled it out of the garage to wash it. Except the hose had some water in it before which was frozen so I gave up and moved it back in the garage.

You could have pulled the motor and done it in less time

I did suggested that, but Skip would have none of it. I figure unbolt the mounts and lift the engine. Oh well, it's done and all the internal rubber is brand spanking new.

Took the front bumper off so I can do some I/C pipe cleaning and swap all the connectors with silicone ones. (just doing some preparation work so I can jump to it tomorrow morning)
Try to clean up the engine bay a bunch, trying to diagnose some rattles and tapping.

Just went for a drive up the twisties, west of Lakewood in the towns of Morrison and Evergreen. Epic! On my way to the car wash, before it gets below 40 degrees...

I replaced the throttle body and ISCV, took about 2 hours, one of those hours was devoted to scraping off the old gasket.
