Hey guys, looking for some advice on new fenders...
Option 1: Junkyard Pros: OEM, Cheapish Cons: Hard to find Option 2: Ebay (something like this) Pros: Hopefully good fitment Cons: More expensive Option 3: Cheap but ricey from ebay (this) Pros: Really Cheap Cons: Kinda ugly, possible fitment issues. Going to paint anyways so color isn't an issue, but I like the idea of a primered and ready to go fender. Advice? |

I bought some Ebay fenders a few years ago and they fit as good as OEM. I don't have the exact place but I'd guess they're pretty much the same.

I'd post an ad on your local craigslist listing what you need. I had an ad up, and I found a pair of OEM fenders for $75. You might be surprised at what you find, don't hurt to try.
The guys parting miatas on craigslist are smoking the crack, but I had at least three people respond to my body parts ad... hehe, body parts ad on CL :giggle: |

Spent some time in the machine shop yesterday.
Finished up my coolant spacer and made some solid diff mounts. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414425431 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414425431 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414425431 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414425431 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414425431 |

Trying out a method of bushing removal:
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414441764 Success! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414441764 Note to self: Best way to do it is to let it burn for longer than you think then pound it out by the bottom or the edges. Don't touch the housing when prying, it scratches easily. |

Put the timing belt back on after deleting the waterneck:
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414450981 But then broke a crank pulley belt: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1414450981 Need to get an easy out and some new bolts. Also put new NGK plugs gapped to .043" |
Adian, Was your JR spacer from Moss P/N 051-046? If so, it has the proper support for the neck and I may use it.

There is still quite a bit of it on the block, and even found some down in between the spark plugs.

Hey, solid compressions numbers are all that matter.

After a bunch of research I finally found the downpipe flange I needed. Looks like I'm going with a 3 inch downpipe.

Once I cooked it for about 15 minutes it popped out really easy.
