    I knew about the hole, but not about the t-bolt. Good to know !

    Would this o-ring be standard rubber o-ring or buna-n ? I gotta buy one and don't know what material to use

    Wow, this is pretty helpful. If you remove your antenna and don't want to buy the OEM antenna plug, just use the wiper arm plug. It fits right into place and looks perfect!



    looks like that piece ^

    Replacing OEM motormounts on a NA, order NBs.
    There the same, and cost half what the NA ones cost.

    Make sure the throttle cable is properly tightened. That can make a miata have much much better throttle response.

    From what I remember, when changing the fuel filter and you don't have any clamps for the lines, a couple of golf tees work perfectly to help keep that fuel off of you.

    The Nissan 370Z oil filter and shift knob will fit a Miata.
