I've forgotten how awkward it is to get at the oil filter on the Miata...
Quote from: 5 Wheel Drive on May 20, 2015, 10:15:52 amI've forgotten how awkward it is to get at the oil filter on the Miata...I use these to get it loose (it seems to tighten over time), and then wear rubber gloves so I have good grip. I also use a LiquidVac to avoid raising the car. Works very well. Can now do an oil/filter on the Miata in about 15-20min.
The TSX is officially a beater car now. Filled up some rust holes with Bondo.
Please. A true beater never receives a bondo Touch up.

Which would make it a 11-12 year old car. Oh well, not terrible, but it is sad. Any beautiful TSX with rust is very, very sad....
Upgraded the interior: custom steering wheel and shifter & e-brake boots. (I also purchased an IL Motorsports aluminum/leather e-brake to replace the fugly, plastic OEM one). The boots are in alcantara with the stitching matching that of the steering wheel. (The OEM boots were in vinyl.)I also added Mazdaspeeed (produced by Eibach) sway bars for the MX-5, and have an appointment for a precision alignment in 2 weeks. Now I wanna upgrade the springs... This mod stuff is an illness.
did your water temp go up?
