Replaced some nasty-looking spark plugs with NGK G-Powers. Took me forever to adjust the gap on them...
Next on my tune-up list: Radiator flush and seafoam before next oil change. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

if this was facebook i would "Like" this post. Looks great, Hector! I'm kinda tempted to pick up some of those brass bushings myself... Except I kinda don't have a transmission in the car to put them on.

I'd go ahead and get them if I were you lol i wouldnt. its a waste of 13$. the brass bushings do not allow proper movment of the pivot arm, and can cause binding, and notchier shifting. if they DO help, its cause your OEM bushings are worn. if you want to actually upgrade from the OEM bushings, get spherical bushings available thru hux racing. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Hey Hector I was wondering what paint did you use for your front sway bar? It looks sexy. My sway bar isn't painted... I think you're talking about my GT strut bar. I just used bright red caliper paint that I found at O'Rielly's, nothing super special lol -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Just got these babies in today thanks to AMCMoe
I'll be installing them on Saturday along with the Racing Beat Miata endlinks I've had since June '10. (I thought I'd have coilovers by that August, but Megan Racing is utterly retarded, so no.) And depending on whether I have too much negative camber in the rear (Which I strongly doubt), I'll also install a set of Eibach adjustable camber bolts. Needless to say, I'm fcuking excited. My struts are so blown, I can feel a leaf when I run over it But seriously, I'm 99% certain that they're the OEM struts/springs it rolled out of the factory with on 1995.

That was fast! Enjoy. Your rear camber will be fine - any alignment place will be able to get it within factory spec, or you can have a place do a more custom alignment for you if you want. I had Twos R Us endlinks, those Racing Beats look nice.
