Purchased my '97 white Miata back in May. Finally, last week I got it running and driving. It only took me 3ish long months but I'm happy that I pulled through and for the most part got everything working...First time working on a car, I don't think it went too horribly wrong. My paint job is pretty bad but that will be a future problem.
After a week of driving, i'm getting a loud ticking noise...Is my engine screwed? It's from a '96 Miata.

Alright kind sir, thank you for the amazingly quick reply. I'm pretty stoke that the tick isn't an issue. Other than that mirror issue, i've had an amazingly large amount of fun driving this car...I've NEVER driven a manual car before but it was easy to learn with this car...Although, I hate my daily traffic drive even more now.
My final questions before I go search the world of google and miata.net about lifter tick, the previous owner screwed up the threading on the door and i guess the threading broke off...is my only option to find somebody to weld a new nut into the door or can anybody think of a better way to macgyver my way outta this situation.
