    Do you have a blog or Insta showing off the farmhouse work? I'd love to see some updates.

    Installed some delrin door bushings. w..t..f.. should have done this years ago. Car feels more supple, and bumps feel like they're taken by the suspension instead of my chassis. Installed them per revlim's method. Couldn't even believe it. It's so subtle and not subtle at the same time...but I'm pretty sure I'll be "used" to it in a few days. The effect on my car is probably larger than others' cars since I have ZERO reinforcement/stiffening done to my car body/chassis.

    Also adjusted the idle valve idle. Car...idles so much nicer. The only thing that changed was going back to stock intake...but I didn't change that valve going from stock intake/ecu to mspnp2 to stock ecu with uturnintake - and now stock everything. Either way, I opened up the valve more, and now the car idle's MUCH nicer - doesn't want to die every time I come to a stop.

    So I sold a bunch of the aftermarket goodness, and the Miata is probably going to a new owner Thursday. Giving it a last lookover before (temporarily) leaving Miatadom.

    Need to get the wheels cleaned up and find a good home.

    All gone! Had a few little hiccups, but was able to get it sold to someone who will appreciate it. It feels weird to not see her in the garage. I can move on to getting the '76 C-10 back in shape (and probably sold).

    Yeah, I'm trying not to be sad about it. itsjustacaritsjustacaritsjustacar... After I ditch the Subaru in October, I might look into an ND. The wife thinks the Fiat skin looks better, I don't agree.

    What did you do to your NB 2020?

    Local breaker landed another chaste White NB, a ‘00 with 81k on it from Savannah. Very clean, well kept car, center punched on the passenger door.



    Unfortunately, someone grabbed the rear bumper before I could reach out to him, but I was able to claim the front bumper/OEM spoiler and trunk lid. Both were better than mine. The bonus was I was able to do a partial trade for my parts as most of his clients are spec racers and my accident-damaged front bumper was still good enough for that.

    The new bumper also doesn’t have fog lights, which I preferred anyways. I got them home and installed in short order.

    Nice score! I prefer the fog lights on NBs, as they look a bit more aggressive IMO, but each to their own!

    What did you do to your NB 2020?

    New tags and registration. No issues.

    I prefer to remove the old tags from my license plate and then slice a grid pattern into the new one after installing it. I have had a couple tags stolen from my plates over the years, which is aggravating and a hassle. Anyone else do this?

    I do. But it ends up making it difficult to remove the following year. I don't go more than stacking 2 stickers, if I do it. I have seen some ridiculous ones where it's gotta be like 15 years at least.

    Lol, I have seen those 1/4” thick tag stacks too.

    I usually remove the plate and use a heat gun with a plastic scraper. A little acetone to clean off the old adhesive. Ten minutes?
