Wish they carried the regular ones on eBay. $4 cheaper from their site, once figure in shipping. Of course have OBO on Ebay though, could probably get cheaper that way.
Scratch that, just found them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/94-95-96-97-98-Toy...#ht_3431wt_1344 -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

She's back and better than ever! > Fully rebuilt motor > New clutch kit > Resurfaced flywheel > Cleaned up engine bay > Brass shift bushings installed (finally) > Royal Purple full synthetic gear oil (smoothest shifting I've ever experienced in this car) She drives better than ever and will hopefully give me plenty more years of gas-efficient fun! |

Welp, in other news, looks like my starter felt left out of the part-replacing frenzy and went out today with no warning. Just fantastic... -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Here's the pretty much finished product for now until I finishing paying off the bit that I owe for the rebuild. Then it's back to modding!

Nice car, I love the wheels! Work Emotion CR-Kai bronze? heh heh....no Mike No, they're just knock-off wheels. I was in the process of rebuilding the motor, so I didn't have much money for better-quality wheels. Eventually, I'll end up with a set of RPF1s or Varrstoen ES wheels. Eventually. But for now, these are plenty wide and not nearly as sunken-in as my old ones were. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

Looks in good form. What's the clutch you went for? I was wanting an Exedy OEM, but no one had one in stock and they were all back-ordered, so I went for a SACHS OEM clutch, instead. I felt like my old clutch still felt totally fine, but after driving on a new clutch and resurfaced flywheel, I can definitely tell the difference. On another note, 500 miles to go! I put on 200 miles just today. Country roads are fantastic for breaking engines in, I've realized. There's no one around to be bothered by your erratic driving speeds. Those are some sweet rims man, what are the dimensions on those?? Thanks! They're 17x8 ET35.
