I can't wait to actually drive it with the 4.3.

Not heavy, slightly lighter than stock. Bear in mind the car obviously wasn't running.

This **** was AWFUL on the stock shifter. I hated it. It's perfect for this shifter.

Any of you dudes have the specs for the hardtop bolts? Talking Spec Miata brackets here. I seem to have lost the hardware for my side brackets. Wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to get some obnoxious security torx or something for everything in a half-assed attempt to deter theft.

New seat brackets came in. These are works of art. I'm going to feel stupid for not just buying these the first time if they work. So nice.

MSM steering rack should be here any day now to go with these delrin rack bushings. Then it's time for some depowering goodness and removing a/c and power steering in one fell swoop. Win!

Dunno, didn't shop for poly bushings. I wanted delrin.

SuperPro might make some, they make weird things.

Don't waste your time with poly for those. The added NVH isn't bad at all, the delrin is fine. I've had these on my car for months and I don't notice anything. Granted, I have the AWR motor mounts and Miataroadster delrin diff mounts.

I'm pretty sure OneTwo and i have worked out the answer to this, but because i'm someone who is often paralyzed by decisions, i figured i'd ask the hive mind some more.

Wideband, which flavor? Assuming all the same price:

LC-2 w/ DB gauge
MTX-L
UEGO
PLX SM-AFR w/ DM-6 gauge

<p>Not PLX because used.</p><p>Not UEGO because no calibration</p><p>Flip a coin. MTX-L looks ugly IMHO, LC-2 with DB gauge is much better looking</p>
