pics of new Miata

Post by n1gzd » Sun Oct 23, 2011 6:43 pm

Here are a few better picture of my new Miata:
http://www.pangalacticconsortium.com/cars/Miata/

You can see in the picture that I have already removed the 14 original wheels and replaced them with Kozei/Dunlop.

I have been driving it to work every day.

Are the windshield wipers supposed to return to the bottom of the windshield when you turn them off? I seem to have to time it right or they just stop wherever they are when I switch it off.
I definitely will need a new windshield. This one is too pitted. Ok in day, but not good at night especially in the rain.

Set the cruise control and relax! :lol: Car looks nice,and well kept.Even the brake fluid looks fresh. Now..stuff a honkin hemi in there... :D The wipers are suppose to park. Rain-X helps with windshield scratching/pitting..but maybe not enough for night driving. 8)

The Miata looks in great shape. The wiper park switch is in the wiper motor itself, just replace the motor with a used one.

Clean and lube the antenna if it's sticking. They are cheap from Mazda and easy to replace if it's broken and you want to keep the radio.

Flush the clutch fluid, I'd replace the slave if you don't know how old it is, they always seem to go at the track. (also cheap aftermarket).

It has some cosmetic issues from some minor damage but the stuff that matters is pretty solid. Just some worn out stuff that needs to be refreshed.
