Finally, after weeks of gathering parts, I present my super-vintage-retro door panel project. With photos of sharks!

Some in-progress shots of a few projects I’ve been gathering parts for over the past couple months. Got some vinyl, some shiny bits, and an Elise seat update! Man, I can’t wait to sit in some Elise seats…
July 30th, 2009 — The Intarwebz
The fine art of fixing a Wordpress (2.8.2 at the time of this posting) RSS feed. It’s not exciting reading and there’s very little Miata content. And no toy photos.

The AP is reporting RIGHT NOW!!! 16 minutes ago, that Michael Schumacher will replace the injured Felipe Massa at Ferrari for the rest of the season following a health check. Cause, ya know, he might not be FIT to drive an F1 car. heh.

Just a quick blog post to show off a photo I snapped of Sharka during a lightning storm. Greased Lightning – one exposure for 3 seconds.

After getting my suspension all set where I wanted it, it was time for an alignment. I went over to Boulevard Automotive (2nd and Candelaria) and had Keith work his magic. $100 and some change and I went from basket case handling to smooth and precise. Well worth it.

Transformers Animated’s Prowl takes the Plastic 52 slot from Prime this week. I found (finally!) the Samurai armor version of him at Target last weekend and have been scheming on a photo that would do him justice…

A new Plastic52 photo. I don’t imagine this one will be very popular, but I wanted to play with my long-stacks G1 Prime in the lightbox. The fact that the Revoltech Megatron gun fit so perfectly in his hand made this a MUST-SHOOT. =) Plastic 52, week 3.

I managed to get Firefox 3.5 working in Ubuntu Intrepid before it was released in the official repository. Check out how. Please forgive the ranting.

A really smart guy named Dan who posts on ClubRoadster came up with this really cool upper shock mount (known in the biz as a tophat) that lets you slam the hell out of a Miata while retaining full suspension travel. I’ve lusted after them for months. I finally bought and installed a set. As you can see above, it went well. Read on for the full install.
