[evilchargerfan]

thank you gents for doing this! we've been needing this thread

[HPR]

Some years ago when I was a member of Miata.net the moderators had a section called The Garage where they would park DIY threads that were deemed to be of interest to the members. It was a great resource and was added to on a rather regular basis. Perhaps the mods will take a cue from this thread and start a similar permanent feature here?

[rolodt]

Finally someone organizing this. I've had these saved on my bookmarks for now haha

Cool, bookmarked on the top. Many useful info even you don't work on the exhaust pipe. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, having rebuilt seals for 3, 4 floor jacks, I have to say I would never go under a car only supported by the floor jacks. You don't want to risk your life on some leather, rubber/plastic seals.

[Sirwebster]

This is great. Thank you!

[DrSteveB]

Wonderful contribution. Appreciate the effort.
