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.

Miata Soft Top Removal
April 27th, 2010 — DIY, Exterior
This is sort of a required step on my road to hardtop-only motoring. It didn’t seem like there was much information out there on this.

This blog post has been a long time coming. A long time. As long as I’ve been rebuilding my car since The Bonk.

And now they are MINE.
Air Compressor Drain Valve Mod
May 24th, 2010 — Tools & Garage, DIY
700 words on replacing a broken air compressor drain valve with a totally awesome ball valve. Because what’s better than spending $30 to fix a $3 broken part? Not much, my friends, not much.
Except for doing all of this with the help of a small robotic scorpion.

December 26th, 2011 — DIY, Interior

Not very.
