Progress soldiers on in the red Miata, as I’ve removed the soft top for sale tomorrow. That sale will basically pay me back for the car, so I mean...that’s a good deal.

I like where this car is heading. My tires are in, so I’m going to go get those mounted next week and refinish the wheels. I like the look of the daisys without center caps, kinda look like mini lites, so that’ll work fine.

Right now I’m not planning to do anything at all with the engine, since I feel like it might be hiding some issues. I figure I’m not going to do anything to it that I couldn’t just port to another NA if something goes wrong with it. Hell, I could see a situation where I buy a really nice one and the black ‘93 becomes the track car down the road, but I think I’ll get a year or two out of the red car.

My gut when I bought the car was LSX, because power, but this particular NA is a bit crusty so that might not be my best plan.

Not worried about theft or vandalism?

Nah. I’ve got an attached garage and my house is in a nice neighborhood, so even if I left it outside on a nice day I wouldn’t worry.
