Bras Are the Devil, Mkay?

Doesn't look evil, does it?

When I bought the Stormtrooper, I noticed the little hood bra. Not bad, right? That’s what I told myself anyway. It wasn’t a full bra. Just the hood. And not that much dirt gets trapped on the hood right? right? Yuck. Seriously, can we all just agree globally to abolish car bras? They’re the devil. […]

Retro Shift Plates

The full kit.

Footwell Subwoofer Install

Sub in place.

Here’s something I’ve not had in decades and never in a Miata – bass. Some of my past cars had stereo systems. But since buying Sharka in 2000 I’ve been in tiny speaker land. Tiny speaker land really isn’t so bad. One day I was kicking back, browsing forums, and I came across an ad […]

Return of the Bikini

Side view.

I just searched my own blog and discovered that I’ve not mentioned Sharka’s bikini top in roughly the past five years. July of 2011 was the last appearance. That’s almost criminal. It gets worse. I’ve not installed it since before I got the Blackbird Fabworx rollbar. I believe I last had the bikini top on […]
