Miata Fix

Ty’s 96 STO was towed in because it would barely run, and the pop ups wouldn’t operate correctly on the driver side. The running issue was due to a fuel pump replacement performed by a different shop - they did not secure the feed hose to the pump properly, nor did they use hose rated to be submerged in gasoline! The fuel pump was barely able to pick up any fuel as a result. We used proper line and secured it in the correct location for years of service. The pop up issue was a broken pin on the motor side, that had become stuck in the chassis side connector. We de-pinned the connector to remove the broken piece, and replaced the motor with a used unit from inventory to get his car back on the road asap!

STREET CAR time. Lots of folks who’ve been to the shop already know about this car, but I realized I’d never posted it. Got this car in June of ‘23 with a blown up engine and promptly did nothing with it, finally got it going in April of this year. Just crossed over 210k miles with a totally unknown junkyard bottom end as the replacement engine. The car already had an FM Little Enchilada, Spal brushless fan, and coolant reroute on it, I bought the Gram Lites shortly after the car, and have added a set of DIY Bilstein coilovers since these pictures. I’ve got a couple more things planned for it, but otherwise the idea is just to pile on as many miles as I can with my Roadster on the Road!

Chris’ NC needed new autocross tires, so obviously it was time for some wider wheels too! 17x8.5 Heliograms with 245/40/17 RT660s. Also replaced very worn bump stops, changed diff oil, and mounted some ECS02 for street use.
