Loving the inserts to close the deck. I'm afraid I don't know the correct term for that conversion.

They are made by Darton, they call tehm MID sleeves. They call it a simi closed deck. They machine the entire cylinder out of the block. They have o-rings at the bottom to seal for the water jacket. They do make a set for the FA-20.

Drove it to work without crashing.

Honked at a cop for posting up to catch speeders. This horn is so polite and meek no one would ever get mad. Honk at the person in front for not paying attention to the light? ‘Oh excuse me! But such manners.’

Redesigned the breather/AOS/scavenge systems again. Got a good deal on a Verus AOS. Upgraded the hoses to silicone.(was a touch short one left to upgrade).

Went to the second event of my time attack league this year and ended in #P3 in my class again. I need to step up my tire game or get more seat time before the next one

I had replaced both of the bulbs on the old OEM sidemarkers because one of them had died, but finally decided to just upgrade them to some after-market ones and I must say they look very nice. I also replaced the tire caps because why not.

The side markers are extremely bright and really stand out. Also the orange ones were lowkey bothering me haha!

Its the little things in life.

Sweet!!!

Kiyora · 07-11-2023, 04:39 AM

Now this is nice...

Changed my MT fluid from Motul 300 to Ford Motorcraft XTM5QS thanks to suggestions from this forum and glowing reviews from the Miata and S2000 forums. Shifting feels amazing now and the car is a joy to drive again. XTM5QS really is unicorn blood as people say it is.

Motul felt like ass from day 1 - every gear was hard to get into. The notorious 2nd gear crunch/clank was constant, and 5&6 took a lot of effort to get into. And I ran this fluid for less than 20,000km.

Motorcraft feels slick and effortless and reduced the frequency of the 2nd gear crunch. I picked this up from my local Ford dealer for $20CAD/qt. This is a good cheap alternative to the discontinued Pentosin MTF2.

be sure to put some anti-seize on those tire caps! they're all aluminum, and the valve stems are all bronze/steel. dissimilar metals create galvanic corrosion, which murphies law dictates, they will seize, but only once one of the tires deflates enough that you can't fill it easily anymore.

i learned the hard way years ago, and had to cut all 4 of mine off with a dremel without damaging the valve stem.. it was a long saturday...
