Head Gasket Time (and every other gasket)
April 17th, 2011 — Engine

My Tow Hook Worked!
March 29th, 2011 — Engine
So there I was, sitting at a traffic light on the quiet side of an intersection. I’d just had dinner with my buddy Stoly (not at Taco Bell, at a much nicer nearby tavern) and was ready to go home and kick back. And…. THUD.
Suzuki Cappuccino (Nopro) Washer Fluid Bottle
February 17th, 2011 — DIY, Engine

NB Miata timing belt change
September 11th, 2009 — Engine, Wrench Turning
Bucky, our 2001 MX-5, gets the spotlight in this post. It was timing belt time and the interweb was not exactly forthcoming in great NB2 timing belt info, so this is my attempt to fill that hole.
Sharka is Link’d!
June 19th, 2009 — Engine, The Sharka Rebuild
This news is woefully old. I’ve had the Link installed for almost 2 months and haven’t updated my blog! I feel ashamed. I’m hanging my head even now while typing this.
