Comment on Miata: Rear Window Repair on the Cheap by J J Nelson

I just completed replacement of the rear window on my ’90. I chose Optex from Lowe’s and used Loc Tite Vinyl Cement. I mounted mine on the inside. I left the origonal taped to the underside as a guide. I trimed with 1″ black Gorilla Tape both inside and out, cutting notches to turn the corners. It does’t look exactly origonal but it’s not bad. Thanks for the tutorial.

Wow Jimmy awesome job, well done. I have been scouting around town for the last couple of days trying to find connectors that might be suitable for the job. Any hints as to what you used and what might be suitable would be appreciated.

Cheers

Comment on Review: Car and Driver, November 1987 by Seamus

Shame on you! The Mitsubishi Galant Sigma was the highlight of this issue! It showcased the world’s FIRST electronic suspension control (which would become vital in European luxury sedans over a decade later). I love that car with it’s classic timeless design and special unique features. It may have had a one spoke steering wheel but guess what? What other car had audio controls on the steering wheel back in 1987?

You know what Jimmy Pribble? YOU are the real miss here.

They used to have an entree called the Texas Sirloin which was excellent. But they discontinued it. What a shame.

Comment on (Ch. 2) Looking for Ms. Goodboss by Kevin Jump

Hi there..
just today I found a Boss for MSRP(in your neck of the woods to. Well kinda..), and it’s in Kona Blue. I also kind of have the same background as you. I’ve road raced motorcycles the past 16 years, and in between I’ve done some car endurance racing in a 911 GT2-class car. Even won some races…
Anyway, after searching high and low, it looks like the only way I can find one for MSRP is without the Torsen and Recaros. I’m more concerned about the Torsen, as I have a Sparco Evo seat I can install for the track. Looks like I can get a Torsen for around $900, but would like some feedback from you on it. Is THIS diff really the one to have?
Any other tid-bits ‘O info you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated as well. Especially if you know of either an orange or yellow Boss w/Recaro/Torsen pkg. I live in California, but have a Southwest Airlines ticket good for anywhere they fly. The one I found and am working on is in El Paso(which is why I said ‘kinda’ in your neck of the woods..I drove from here to Dallas once, and found out how far away ‘Real’ Texas is from me ). Hopefully Southwest flies into El P, or even Las Cruches would work..

Thanx in advance!

The exit from three was really evil in the dark even with relatively good lights. My first time through (fortunately, taken at about 50%) I got confused and followed the tire tracks into the grass. Oops.
