Really nice, I'd love one as a project.

Nothing wrong with the flag they went to war for....... Lest we forget.

Just stop in at any panel shop and they'll tell you the best product, I remember doing that about 8yrs ago.

Have you ever changed the air filter? I had an old escort that had atrocious economy and would run on for 15sec or so after switching off, turned out to be the air filter.

Fiary muff.

What you guys don't realise is that red air filter is made of crushed ruby's.

Well done, why were you so against elongating the holes? first thing I would have done coz I'm a lazy bastard.

Pretty impressive.

I only picked mine up the night before last after it sitting for 5 months, I always disconnect the battery, it started first kick like every time I leave it for months at a time.

Just take it to the nearest servo and fill it with 98 asap, once the fuels mix you should be fine as they will bring your octane reading up

2nd hand compressors are usually around $200, just make sure you get the right one, 90% sure the 06 has the smaller one.

It's more than likely the 200k service coming up that'll put anyone who knows Subi's off as much as anything but good luck with the sale.

Tyre calc here in metric & imperial http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

I just use a Navman in my Transit as like most speedo's it's about 7% out, $69 from the good guys with free updates for life and has a shit load of other uses.

Also Hyundai mags are cheap because they are only worth about $4.60 ea.

Sounds like your alternator/power steering belts need tightening, they usually squeal like a stuck pig on start up if they are too loose.

If it is the starter make sure you get the right one as auto and manual are different, anything out of an Impreza or Forester will also fit, turbo or n/a

Just a tip, never use WD40 or any type of oil based lubricant, always use soapy water as it dries without leaving an oily residue, you could end up spinning your wheel in your rim.

Yeah, I like the way he's gone from the mild steel of the reo bar to the high tensile steel of the bolt, must balance out well over the yumps.

Rear lift is easy, nice welding too ..................... on yours


Sorry if I stole this from here.

Damn that was expensive, more than double the average car price for 1986, I only paid about $7,200 for a brand new RS2000 in 79.
