Default New Miata V8 owner

Hello,

I bought Gator Bait's car last month and now it resides in the NW Indiana region.
I've been reading a lot and look forward to tapping into the collective knowledge.
It has received a cleanup, wax and polish, new dual hood lift kit, delrin door bushings, and I picked up a hardtop that needs paint or a wrap ( red needs to be changed to black ).
The coolant, engine oil, trans fluid , and rear diff fluid has been changed.

Anyone in the Chicagoland area ?

Thanks,

Dave

Hey welcome from a fellow north country guy! There have been a few guys in and out from chitown over the years but none that I can think of that are active now.

If I could trouble you to go HERE and check out the thread on signatures and photos it will make life easier for you here.

Another thread to keep an eye on is the mitty thread. Things are starting to come together for our annual gathering and it's really worth the trip.

I'm really glad you guys are here welcome!

I just have to do the little things to the car in the cold weather to make ready for spring.
