I had about half an hour to kill when I got home but before I needed to pick up my son, and it occurred to me that that’s enough time to bleed my clutch since I replaced the master cylinder the other day.

End result, I’ve got a nice firm pedal and a second driveable Miata.

It’s rusty, top end makes a little noise, none of the tires match, and it has 226k...but it’s a runner and I’m into it for $300-350 right now, so I’ve got no complaints. I still haven’t decided what to do with it, actually.

I could put it on Craigslist, ask $1000 (a bit cheeky, as Mike Brewer would say) and see what happens. Or I could start selling everything in it that isn’t a race car, which is my preferred plan. Either way I have to take a good look at the rust before I get too far into it...I don’t think it’s terminal, the underside is very good but the driver’s rocker is junk.

It runs and drives though!

I’m still trying to figure out why I haven’t taken them out of the black car...I’ve tried to use them, they’re useless but at least they’re not floppy like the ones in the red car. I think I’m going to start taking parts out and putting them in my shed/on eBay.

A lot of people cut off the actual visor and DIY a Gopro mount, dome lights, etc.

The windshield frame is hollow. You could stick a tube down it, connected to a bladder and get your favorite drink squirted towards your face with the press of a button..?
