CarbonMiata Vent Window Install/Review
January 29th, 2023 — Exterior, Parts Review, Wrench Turning
After waiting 23 years, there’s finally a pretty vent window kit on the market for the NA/NB Miata. Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually work well.
Old Parts > New Parts

New/old Runabout parts.
A while back, I simplified Sharka’s bodywork. No more side stripes, no more air splitter. It felt like the right thing to do in order to move forward. Taking a step back, you know? It’s sometimes good and helps bring a fresh perspective.
And now it’s time to go forward.
Simplify.

A Dozen Tiny Updates

Updates. I got ’em.
This post is a collection of updates to past posts that I’ve been meaning to do for months now. There are so many that I thought I’d make a post about it. I’m actually rather embarrassed about how many updates there are and how far back they go… the first was an update I meant to post in April.

Do you see that tire? The letters are really that yellow. The bottle is white. The letters are not. Something had to be done.
Track Dog Racing Radical Splitter Review
May 27th, 2012 — Exterior, Parts Review
I’ve not done an install and parts review for a while. I figured it was about time. And I’ve got a good one. The brand new Track Dog Racing Radical air splitter for NA Miatas with the factory airdam.

Robbins Cloth Top Install
July 21st, 2011 — Bucky (01 MX-5), DIY, Exterior
Anyone who’s ever owned a car without a metal roof has thought about this topic. What do you do when the old soft top is done and in need of swapping out? Go to full time hardtop or buy a new piece of material to keep the rain off your head? Since I already have one hardtop Roadster, I decided to invest in some new cloth for my 2001 Miata and tackle one of the few maintenance tasks left that I’ve never done.
Ode to a Bikini Top
July 9th, 2011 — Exterior, Sharka pix
I love my hardtop. I mean seriously. It’s my hardtop. I don’t call it “Sharka’s hardtop” but rather “mine”. It transforms the Miata from a floppy noodle into a real car. It offers a barrier against skin cancer and the weather. It looks gorgeous.
And then I got the bikini top.
