The D Word?
January 13th, 2013 — Sharka pix
I’ve been thinking about this post for a while. Since finishing up with the NA6 interior really. Sharka has just felt so… good. Right. Perfect. Everything is exactly how I want it.
Sharka feels done.
Turn Signal Intakes
October 29th, 2009 — DIY, Exterior
A couple weekends in the garage, some bondo, and some scooter turn signals? What could I possibly do with these ingredients? Turn signal intakes!
Harriet and Her Room

My family has a new member. And for the first time, she doesn’t have four wheels or four feet. I’m beyond proud to show off my new baby girl here on my blog. And her room!
Enkei RP-F1 14×7+19 – aka THE Wheels
November 10th, 2009 — The Sharka Rebuild, Wheels
This blog post has been a long time coming. A long time. As long as I’ve been rebuilding my car since The Bonk. See, after I decided to rebuild Sharka, I started looking around for a new set of wheels. That was last November. I found these unique RP-F1s in June. I paid for them around the beginning of July. And now they are MINE.
2011 Gauges – Version Rossa
August 1st, 2011 — Gauges, Interior
In between gauge face commissions, I’ve been working on a new set for myself. Sharka has been wearing his old gauges (called “Revolution”) since around April of last year. I’ve been feeling a little tired of them and craving something a little more vintage looking. Something flashy and yet minimalist. Something that really complemented my KG Works gauge cluster.
To borrow a line from Jeremy Clarkson: And here it is.

Sharka Ride #1
July 24th, 2013 — Photos, Sharka pix
I’ve backspaced over the first sentence a dozen times. I’ve got no idea what to say that won’t sound like an insane person gushing over his car and daughter. I’m just ever so proud, you guys. EVER. SO. PROUD!
My little girl got to ride in Sharka for the first time. And SHE LOVED IT!!!

July 17th, 2010 — Gauges, Interior, Parts Review

NA6 Dash Restoration Project
August 13th, 2011 — DIY, Interior
In this post, I repair and restore a 20 year old Miata dashboard from the 1.6 liter era. It took me a week and there’s a twist at the end. Check it out.

Ode to a Hardtop
April 15th, 2010 — Miata MX-5, revlimiter.net
Every winter for as long as I’ve been a hardtop owner, I’ve dreaded it. The hardtop. Being closed in. The squeaks, the rattles, the confinement.
The fiberglass prison….
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.

January 29th, 2010 — Linux = Freedom, Ubuntu Laptop

Elise Seat Curtain Call
December 7th, 2009 — Elise seats in a Miata
A final (maybe?) post about my Elise seats. By popular demand – tracings of my rear seat brackets! In PDF format! I’m pretty proud.
Sharka: The First 10 Years
July 13th, 2010 — Sharka pix
In April of 2000, I had no interest in Miatas. Or getting a new car at all. I was happy with what I was driving. I was about to get married. A new car was far from my mind.
And then I drove a Miata for the first time.
Tie Rod End Swap
March 7th, 2011 — DIY, Suspension
This is one of those items that’s been on my to-do list for quite a few years – swapping out Sharka’s stock tie rod ends for the 93 LE / 94 R-package ends. They help address the bump steer issues on a lowered car and it’s one part of a Miata that I’ve never replaced. That second reason alone is enough to justify the job.
