July 31st, 2009 — DIY, Interior
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…
Fixing a WordPress RSS feed
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.

Alignment Time!
July 18th, 2009 — Suspension, The Sharka Rebuild
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 Classic Alliance
July 12th, 2009 — Photos, Plastic52, Toys
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.

Moderately Slammed
July 1st, 2009 — Suspension, Wrench Turning

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.
