go with the GStar one, or you can do what I did, I just hacked up the stock mount with some pliers and used a couple of large washers and a bolt or 2, easy peezy.

When is this top install planned? I'm sure all of us are busy this weekend, we can either try this at my place, or I'm sure I can find a house in the Azusa area that will let us use that area for work space

This is actually one reason why I like Mazda so much. I love how so many people jumped on board with this and were "OMG this is my next MOD!" I actually regret not having my nozzles removed and filled before paint. I want something that I can make work from the base of the windshield and...

Me? I tried to tell you it was a damn ignition issue.

^^^^ Cam and crank seals, timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and timing belt tensioner, spark plugs and maybe motor mounts. The last of which didn't feel bad, but throw the mazda comp units. They're both idiots. People pay good money for the factory mud flaps, plus they help keep the lower...

Does your part of the world allow you to do a "non operational" registration? Here in California for about $40 a year you can pay to park your car. This keeps the registration and license plate but means you don't have to deal with all the other requirements of keeping a car registered (smog)...

Well #4 cylinders have a repuation for running hot. I wonder if by chance you have either A) a coil pack failure happening (common on the 99/00 IIRC) or b) ther eare some fuel delivery issues. Fuel filter could be clogged up. Spark plugs could be due for replacement. You know when they were...

Knowing how steve makes things, probably not, but if you want it to not show any threads you can do that. Or just use a pair of wire cutters to break the brittle plastic some more above the flange.

I'm sitting here doing the same thing. My e30 is one of the cheapest cars owned by myself or anyone I know. I've only recently broke the "I have more in it that it is worth" point. Everyone else is making payments every month on a car that are above my yearly fees on this car.

Alright, I have to preface this with the fact that I know the owners of this shop quite well. However... I know most of you guys have, or are in danger of having, a broken Dipstick handle. My good buddies at Project-G came up with an ingeniously sexy solution. They have a group buy happening...

updates?

For American model cars made 96 and newer the CEL light will be triggered by a myriad of sensors. All of it is related to emissions but has the by product of being surprisingly useful at actually diagnosing running issues. Exactly what would cause that? I had a few cars in my life that have...

You have the benefit of being around a large community in that area. We have a large miata community down here as well. If you are going to street drive it, and you're not too tall, I would recommend going with the hard top clearing bar. As you can see from mine, it sits back a bit more (the...

*Clears throat* If my head can heat the roll bar, I'm pretty sure trip to the hospital was going to be short lived before that even happened... I will agree on style bars. My friends and I have actually gone so far to rip someones style bar out of their car for them when they came to our...

That's exactly what happened. This is why you NEVER turn when you go off (obviously he didn't have control over that fact). you want to just go strait and let it happen and try and get the car to stop.

the list of people NOT on this mans ignore list is probably a lot shorter.

Replace the radiator... or at least clean it right. If it's the original oem one with plastic end tanks, I'd replace it soon. I had 1 pop on me and it's not fun. My unmodified engine and factory replacement radiator has never given me trouble running the dual fans (I wired the a/c fan to run...

Mike's other shop car. I can't recall if that is the rotary swap car or not

190e cosworth... the US model is a crap compared to the US version and just not worth the money. Most are pretty raged too. FC (turbo) and FD RX7. Cash for clunkers killed the FC. The FD found a new market with the v8 guys and prices aren't dropping like they should. Evo or STi. I wouldn't...

And down here as well. Not even on the track. a lot of them are "Hella flush" now
