I used my trunk to mount my 2.5 gallon water/meth injection tank and pump. I also kept spare "fix-it" parts like fuel line, vacuum hose, t-bolt clamps, wiring, etc. and tools in there too, although all that was in it's own plastic tote.

It's pretty amazing what you can fit into this trunk. Attachment 200705 I don't know how many people go about looking at your trunk, but I would leave it the way it is. If it has surface rust, grind it down (lol), sand, prime, and then repaint. |
There are some things that we here at MiataTurbo condone putting in your trunk. For instance, here's my 5 liter tank on the left, transfer pump mounted under it.

Subwoofer, and a bag full of tools that includes: metric socket set, jack, two jack stands, hose, oil, clamps, couplers, turbo, etc. |
All you dudes use fix-a-flat instead of spares?

Mine has no panel over the fuel lines, no spare, no jack, a battery and a tool bag... it's red with black carpet. Pretty standard.
Attachment 200704 Check it yo, parts storage. Too much junk in the trunk. |

Fuck that! I drive on a flat and buy a new tire! Ballin! Thankfully the car is so light and the sidewalls are so stiff, no wheel damage yet. It's always a sidewall puncture anyway, which means the tire is junk either way.

Bitch of it was I had just basically sold that set of tires/wheels after buying some Panasports and ordering new Falkens and having them mounted by a local Miata buddy. I was waiting to pick them up, and drop of these OEM 16"s. Instead I had to buy a new tire (different make and size...fuck Discount) since I was stuck 75miles from home, which put me out $61, and dropped the price on the setup $80 for the buyer since he'd have to order a new Kumho SPT. FML EDIT: Every time I buy one of those tire repair kits it *magically* disappears, and I have to buy another one when I pick up a nail. This flat wasn't a nail though. Don't know what got into the sidewall, but it had cut all the way around within a mile from the gas station I had just stopped at to fill with gas, add oil (burning), add super blue to the WI tank, and check tire pressures. Pissed me off. |

Specifically, this is the kit I carry: http://www.stopngo.com/im/products/1075-08.jpg Other companies make a similar setup that uses vulcanizing plugs, however in my case I'd rather do a temporary fix roadside and then have the tire dismounted for a proper repair later. If I ever get a sidewall puncture, then I guess I'll be sticking out my thumb. However I've used this system a number of times for simple punctures (mostly on other peoples' cars) and it works great. |

All of this talk reminds me I have had a tire in need of patch sitting in my shed for weeks now. I ran over a nail and drove it on a flat for a few miles, but no damage seems to have occurred. Been driving on crappy stock wheels and Sumitomo tires on the rear since then. I also noticed when I was adjusting my toe in the front, which was causing twitchy straight line stability, that one of my under 5,000 mile tires had already worn to wire on the inside edge where the toe was apparently a LOT more than I had thought. It was dragging itself on the inside corner. Camber was probably also a little too much, which I also adjusted. A real alignment is needed, but it will have to work for now. At least now it tracks straight, the wheel is straight, the camber all looks the same and the toe is not too aggressive. |
