    Any of you kids have the free time to help me lower the car a bit, and install new tie rod ends, preferably Sunday, since it's supposed to be gorgeous?

    I have the tools for it, and would do it at the storage facility.

    sure thing, come on by. I don't want to scrub, but I want to lose some gap, if possible

    I will let you know if I can Sunday. Might be working on my own miata and get the stupid engine out this weekend and start doing the light rebuild/refresh but that would most likely be tonight if I do. Saturday, I might be buying a new head for the engine since mine has a hole on the side from the supercharger mount.










    I cant wait to drive a miata I can call my own again

    We are launching our new databases on Sunday when the volume is lower. I'll be assisting with that. Sorry man.

    Anyone got a 1.8 head on them. The person I was talking to is getting me kind of worried considering he lacks communication and not wanting to travel around 2 hours each way for a scam.the head is cheap as hell since he is asking 50 bucks with cams and everthing

    That sucks man. You need a whole new jack? Harbor always has the aluminum low profile on sale if you can find a coupon online.

    pretty much. I just kinda figured he saw the 1.6 head go for that much and didn't know 1.8's are worth more. either way, I am backing out of this before wasting 50 bucks on gas for no reason. I texted him around 12 today about how I am concerned by his lack of communication and what do you know, still no response. I guess I am still going to be paying full price for one.


    also, are we going to work on your car tomorrow. I have the shitty cheap harbor freight because my scissor jack that came with my miata broke as soon as it started to hold the cars weight. Anyways, since we aren't getting under the car and don't need to jack it up super high, I can bring that if needed

    50 is a great deal. If someone was looking for an extra head to modify, that may be the ticket. If it isn't damaged too badly, it ban be welded, milled, and used for a DIY port and polish project.
