If you will be at Miatas at MRLS, you can feel my sexy shifter.

False. JO Motorsports offers cryotreatment, gear/synchro/fork hardening, low friction coatings on synchros, all for SUPER cheap. I have no idea how that man makes any money. I purposely spent as much as I could, and new trans only cost me 1400 dollars. (plus frieght shipping one way. DO NOT use ups freight.)

Well it seems I didn't know what i was looking at when i pulled the shocks out of the junkyard car, I put them in mine and I've noticed a "thready" grinding noise in the back and creeped to autozone to get some deep sockets. Threads on both shocks are both stripped. I'm going to put the old rear shocks back on tomorrow and see if I can either repair these or set them aside and get new ones.

(Woke up this morning thinking this) Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you.
(Worked on suspension and got agitated yesterday, but thought this today) By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do.
(Felt alone as if "I bet I'm the only one to ever make this mistake") I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now.

Hey thanks! I don't want to finish the build and be like alright can't wait to get more. At least for a while. I'm trying to do it right, and being a new comer. I will kind of be missing the experience of driving different miatas (175, 200, 250 hp) so i really have no frame of reference. It's going to be a completely new car once it's done. Haven't made too much of a fool of myself so far!
