Thank goodness I'm not going crazy!! I didn't think I could be the only one with these kind of problems. I have seriously considered removing the A/C and this may be a good time to do it. Now the million dollar question: which way to do the A/C removal. 1. Relocate the alternator to the A/C mount 2. Shim pulley and leave in stock position 3. Try to score the non A/C bracket and/or mod the stock bracket Feedback??? P.S. When active this list kicks ass! Posted the same thing on Vortex and got nada (I guess I don't have enough posts to be recognized or I've been secretly blacklisted for pissing off one of the moderators). Anyway thanks for listening and for Son, I still have a cool pic you posted a long time ago of your ride on 3 wheels. Try that in your Miata. Keep in touch (you WILL be back someday).
