The fuel system is likely borked; My car sat for a few years (climate controlled storage, but still sat) before I bought it. The fuel pump and fuel sender unit were shot, fuel filter gummed up, and...

The shop that did the removal and coordinating with Gbox gave me a 1 year warranty on any work they performed or authorized from an outside vendor, so not too worried there. Gbox also offered a 1...

Ask for transparency on the part cost, as the labor addition is negligible since the clutch AND flywheel already have to come out to get at the IMS. If they're quoting $300 on labor ask them to...

They say I need to drive it 1500-2000 miles before the synchro and associated parts break-in. I've only driven 750 or so since so I will give it time. Plus the weather is warming which will help,...

I was watching videos of gearshift linkage adjustment, using the green plastic shift cable tool and it seems people do something with them. I was hoping that someone had an experience with similar to...

Sadly the answer here is Miata. I've owned 4. Not at all shabby cars, but the cost of owning/operating/modding is peanuts. Plus they go together like Legos.

NB is best to drive in that budget,...

Got any pictures of it? I am on the fence about ordering yet another mount (I've been on this mount kick with the other cars...). I normally find a better magnet with a 17mm socket on Amazon. $10 for...

I have the lower console Rennline mount as well, and even with a few different MagSafe mounts I've tried, its a funky location. I found an inexpensive MagSafe magnetic ring that fits the 17mm ball of...
