New AFR heads and On The Road Again
 
Apologies to Willie aside, the little car is back together after a 3 year hiatus. Due to work (a long way from home) it took a bit longer than planned to replace a clutch that failed on the initial 1,000 mile shake down trip. While at it I installed a set of AFR 165 aluminum heads, painted/detailed the engine compartment, did a mild wire tuck and changed the front engine trim to gain a bit more clearance to the radiator.

This weekend weather was sunny and nice so with the hood on for the first time since 2011 it was wash/wax and drive time. Put about 300 miles down and it was as good as I remembered.

My advise, get busy and gett'er done. You can thank me later.https://www.v8miata.net/members/5-0m...14-054-601.jpg
