    Nope I even called them. I also called a local shop who told me they have a method to making a radio stay in any sleeve and to just bring radio to them and they will help me out for 15 bucks max

    They might have an eclipse sleeve but they are not marked so you just have to go through their pile.

    My brother has both an upper and lower boot along with turret rebuild kit. But it was purchased for a 2000 miata might be different.

    I know mine are torn since I tried to fix my radio before but that might have to wait. Not hard or anything but maybe more convenient when doing the turret

    Alright. I just filled up my miata with oil yesterday so the leak is pretty bad again. Petty certain it is my head gasket since it gets worse with the more oil I have. My parents are tired of the drips so they are making me find a mechanic to fix it. I don't necessary want that but my parents are offering to pay. I want to know of you guys have any shops that you go to. I saw the sticky and bummer said a shop and might go there but want some more opinions. Also should I get other seals done while they are doing the head gasket

    Does your coolant look like a milkshake or have oil floating on top? Check the radiator cap and overflow tank for this (while cool).

    I still bet it is one of the front seals or common leaks.

    The place I go to is Performance Chassis in Cary, but I know there are Miata specialty shop in the RDU area, just can't remember them.

    If the head is warped and you are having the timing belt, seals, and water pump done at a shop, it's going to be pricey.

    At the meet this weekend can get it on a lift and see if the leak can be found under the car as well.
