Rear Air Dam Restoration
July 8th, 2010 — Exterior
The Mazda factory rear air dam for the Miata is a bit of a rare part. It was discontinued around 2002. I was fortunate enough to acquire one a few years back. A factory one, not a copy. I remember the day well. I held it in my hands. I admired it. And then I cut it in half so it would fit my trailer hitch.
FM Turbo Unboxing
June 17th, 2010 — Turbo
This post has been coming for a while. I ordered these big boxes a little less than a month ago. But I feel like I’ve been waiting for years. Both came from Flyin Miata. The short box holds an FM II turbo kit. The tall box holds an exhaust.
Both boxes actually hold happiness, horsepower, and zoom-zoom.
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.

November 22nd, 2009 — Photos, Toys
A lot of pix (maybe too many) detailing the restoration of a broken Transformers G1 Shockwave. Yes, I’ve got a soft spot for old toys as well as old Miatas.

November 15th, 2009 — Interior, Parts Review
A parts review post. This time, I’ve got the AWD A/C cluster controls. And I’ve got two Decepticon helpers to keep me on track for installing the parts correctly.
