RE: Problems with Miata seats

BTDT, exactly the same problem. I'm 6'2. I too used Paul's method, which seemed to me to place the seats as low as they could go. In they end they were too high for me, and I found myself looking through the top couple of inches of the windscreen while driving. With either soft or hard top

RE: Gauge/voltage stabilizer questions

I would start by checking the sender. If the gas gauge reads reasonably, it probably isn't the voltage regulator. A new sender is about $7 or 8 here; at that price I would just go and replace it. If the gauge itself were messed up, I would expect it to read low or not at all. Somewhere I once

Miata seats

Nope, I don't have them in my car, so I can't offer any installation advice. But, in resply to Richard Gosling's noting that the Miata seats offer better lateral support, I can offer this observation - As Rob Getzinger noted that being 5' 10 has a side benefit, maybe having a fat butt is

RE: Starting trobles

Hi, I finally got the car started! (Have been quity busy with work...) For those interested: The fuel pump worked (checked that first). But there was no spark, which I also checked directly from the coil. Since the coil had power coming in, I assumed that was the faulty part, and bought a new

re ; Problems with Miata seats

To Gregg Spit list I just finished putting a set of Miata seats and have the same problem, I did cut off the ends of the seat rails (by the pins) and drilled holes in the floor to get them as low as possible, but ended up putting a 3/8' spacer on the back bolts to get some more front back

1980 Spitfire Head

I am considering having the head on my Spitfire milled down to give me a little more compression. It is a stock 80 head so it is currently about 7.5 to 1. I am thinking of taking it to about 9 to 1. Can anyone tell me how much I would need to take off to get it to that compression? If I do

Re: 1980 Spitfire Head

For 9:1 compression on a 1500 motor, you want to replce the US spec dished pistons with the UK spec flat-topped ones. You may still need to mill the head a bit, but this will get you close to the stock UK 9:1 spec. -=Chris Chris King http://home.comcast.net/~kvcbk/ -Original
