  1. Falken makes two 14" tires you might consider: Had these on my 7 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Falken&tireModel=Azenis+RT615K%2B&partnum=96HR4RT615KP&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes Have these on my Miata https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Falken&tireModel=Azenis+RT660&partnum=96HR4RT660&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes
  2. The oil and coal industries have used the same playbook that worked so well for the tobacco industry. First your own research confirms or predates public warnings about your product, then you mount a coordinated campaign designed to fuel doubt and skepticism and then to ensure public policy doesn’t interfere with your bottom line you bribe the necessary officials.

    New Build

    The spade connectors look like they are for the horn. The toggle switch maybe for a flash to pass the headlights.

  9. Any white smoke or sweet smell out of the tailpipe? Bubbling in the coolant indicates a possible head gasket leak, try running the engine with the radiator cap off or look the overflow tank if you have one. Do you have any smell of coolant in the crankcase oil? How old is the coolant? Coolant loses its corrosion qualities over time. Distilled water used? A flush and refill can’t hurt. I’d take the radiator to a shop for cleaning instead of an off the shelf chemical flush. I’d do a cylinder compression check and pressure check of the cooling system, the chain car parts places might have loaners, before pulling the head. If you get the Mallock out this year let me know what your schedule is, I have some polish and transmission fluid left over from my car you can have.

  11. Seems the factory has gotten away from mechanical fasteners and using adhesives to mount the wings
  12. There was a similar event in Japan but so far no info on Miatanet about how many cars showed up or pictures. After using Laguna Seca for the last 10 years of the reunion a location change is coming for 2020.
