If you're so inclined, you could make this thing into a seriously competitive autox/track car. There's a guy who races with our Miata club and he consistently posts fastest time of day (in a group of 70+ cars) with an EK civic hatch. And I'm talking some stiff competition here. Turbo Miatas, Z06 Vettes with R-comp tires, Porsches, you name it.

Like potownrob said, no :( Though its not too big of a deal. I'd rather take the EX over the LX any day of the week for its more powerful engine.

Actually that second shot has quite the freaky effect. Would work great on a hybrid brochure selling to environmentalists. :mrgreen:

I assume you're talking about the one of the interior or the engine?
Interior all full of reflected greenery.

So this weekend I took a majority of saturday and some of sunday to replace my timing belt. While the belt looked good, I Didn't want to take a chance since I had no idea when it was last done. I had some minor issues. An a/c idler pulley bolt rounded on me, and the timing belt tension came into question. Now it's all back together and it seems that the valve cover I neglected to change, might be causing issues, but not sure. Going to keep an eye on that. One of my serpentine belts does squeal intermittently for some reason. So we'll have to look into that sometime.

So today I washed and waxed my car.



Didn't spend all day on getting it clean, but atleast a few hours was spent on making it look good and protected.

In Meechigun, they make us put numbers and letters on our license plates, so they can trace them back to the owner.

Welp! My car was vandalized. On Halloween. A massive dent about 10 inches wide on my rear quarter panel.

Car is driveable...just looks like crap now. Huge bummer. Paint is still in good condition and there is no rust.
