Not wrong now, but for the past week it bugged me, so;
I just finished pulling out my CD player because when my wife changed CD's, it wouldn't start the new one. Found the CD behind the radio; she had missed the CD slot and it slid between the CD player and climate control.
I stuffed in some of the beading you use for window screens, to stop it from happening again.

WOW, I'm glad I'm not the only one:
1. Burning oil/oil smell/occasional slight smoke. Less now that I'm running a 1/8 rivet restrictor.
2. Slight rattle somewhere under the instrument cluster started after clutch change... heat shield or something.
3. Running stupid pig-**** rich. Stinks like gasoline. AFPR set to max rise to be safe until I can get it on the dyno.
4. 200 miles left to break in the clutch.
5. Bad bucking at freeway speeds due to VTA and no 02clamp (install clamp and recirc this weekend).
6. Stupid NEWBS won't fill out their profiles or their sigs and then ask all sorts of in depth questions and don't even tell us what kind of car they've got. I don't know which smiley to use now... this
... or this

Flywheel chatter (lightened stock 1.8L flywheel).
Differential whine after doing the RX-7 diff. swap because (I think) I swapped in the wrong bearings...that's what happens when you have four different diffs. laying around the garage and you take a month to do the swap.
Intercooler pipes need to be re-done...or at least I need to do a quick-fix on one that's close to rubbing the alternator belt and another that's rubbing a radiator fan shround.
Got some exhaust leaks...at the head-to-manifold and downpipe-to-catback.
Need new tires...the 195/50-15 T1-S are spinning like a ***** in 1st and 2nd gears.
Uh...that's about it. Basically, I've just been trying to ignore it and drive the **** outta it
Oh yeah, and the tach and speedo do weird things, too

- Melted rear bumper from muffler delete gone wrong
- until today, turbo was a little loose on the manifold, fixed.
- still haven't installed various go-fast goodies because no dyno in the area and weak 1.6 rear.
- Miata constantly burdened with the weight of LBV, Kevlar helmet, body armor etc.
