    I'm happy with my AGM miata battery under back seat for $100, Can mount any way you want and is small

    The castle nut in photo looks way too tight squishing bushing

    I know this has been asked before but I'm still not finding what I'm looking for. I'm looking for 15" steel wheels that will bolt on, No spacers, No fender rolling. I'm running Bilstein adj. Coilovers all the way around and E21 hubs and calipers up front. So I need a 15" by 6 or 7 inch wheel, after reading everything I can find ET25 would be ideal. Just can't find any online that don't need altering one way or another. Any place that sells ready made wheel

    So after doing all mechanical s for last year on my 68 I decided to tackle cosmetics a little, Didn't wanna strip to metal whole car at this time cause paint wasn't horrible, but hood was primer so decided to try and paint hood myself, Had local paint store computer match color as car was painted 20 years ago and put in garage in pieces. The computer color matching these days is pretty good, I haven't color sanded it but it's on the car and now one color

    Kind of garage find, Sat in my nephews garage in pieces for 20 years til I took it off his hands

    This site has been way slooow loading for me for quite a while, Sometimes I just give up and come back later. It's only this site that's slow for me

    The poly bushes in the trailing arms won't bother you over rough road but the 2 poly where diff mounts to body will be pretty stiff. When I did mine I left all bushes that mount to body rubber and used poly in the rest. My car does ride stiff but that has more to do with the Adj. coil over bilsteins than anything else, I'm fine on a good road but avoid pot holes like the plague.

    My hood sat like that one when I put it on, For me it was just a hinge adjustment to get right

    I used Greyhound to ship large parts like fenders on a Powerwagon I restored last year, Rates are reasonable

    Bought it off Ebay as a blem for $125, It's a champion, Car runs at 180 and I almost never have to turn on electric pusher fan, Even in traffic . Also fit right in, No alterations and clears hood

    I would think it's time for a crank, .050 over is way too much

    Spent last year doing every nut and bolt mechanically on my 68, Motor,Gertrag 245, LSD 3.91, Subframes. Every piece of rubber or poly in Mounts and suspension. This year work on some cosmetics, I think I'm just going to blend hood and rocker in for now and then body work right rear tailight area that got crunched a little by PO then blend that in. Then in future do a whole paint job.

    Why run a mechanical fan at all, Just put electric pusher fan on front of radiator. I rarely have to turn my fan on at all, Plus mechanical s rob HP

    After seeing bottom in Barneys photo, No Thanks, Looks like none of the rubber bits underneath have been replaced, Popcorn welding on spare tire well horrible. I think after digging into some more you would find more issues. 49k way too much

    Anybody have any pics of this car before so called lipstick was put on?

    What Scoob said, I went from 50 idle jet to 60's, Cured tip in stumbling

    I asked that question a while back for my 68, Got a resounding No

    The E21 sender is the same size as stock, Just encased in aluminum so very steady reading on gauge, When you fill up with fuel it takes longer to get a full reading but works fine and drops right in like the original, I just had 1 laying around so I tried it

    Maybe I'm behind the curve but it seems to me 02 prices are on the upswing lately, The resto modded ones seem to be bringing good money

    Seller says it has a wobble at speed, Underside of car doesn't look all that great, 40K is a lot of dough for that
  22. rcf925
    If that vin starts with 1572 , Why does my 68 start with 1661

    I'm running Carter P4070 with reguator set at 2psi with 45's, It works fine but I wouldn't recommend it, I rubber mounted it in trunk and wrapped it with insulation and still noisy as hell, I'll be switching to holley in line pump as soon as I get the time

    I've used Plasti-gauge over the years and found it to be accurate. I'd be a little uncomfortable putting motor together with .076 clearance. Maybe have machine shop put lower end together and check everything, They did the machine work and if you have problems later it's on them , not you

    As far as a sender I replaced mine with one out of E21, It's encased in aluminum so no bouncy reading on gauge, Works great
