After paint is dried, buff the entire body using machine buffing compound and a clean buffing pad. Then polish the paint to a high gloss finish using 3M polishing paste. You can see the difference.

miata fan: Loosen a Transmission Fill Plug
http://www.miatafan.com/2012/03/loosen-transmission-fill-plug.html
Saturday, March 3, 2012. Loosen a Transmission Fill Plug. Miata uses a square-headed manual transmission fill plug. It can be removed with a 14mm open end wrench, crowsfoot wrench or adjustable wrench. If the plug is too tight, try a special tool, a 14 mm 8-point (octagon) socket. You can use a torque wrench with this. Make sure you remove the fill plug before you remove the drain plug. Transmission drain plug: 40-58 N/m, 4.0-6.0 kg/m, 29-43 lb/ft.

Sunday, April 10, 2011. Miatas at MRLS 2011 Cancelled. This is the email I was hoping not to have to send to everyone this year. I regret to inform you that we won't be able to hold the Miatas at MRLS. Event in 2011. Ultimately it all boiled down to scheduling conflicts - there are only so many weekends available each year at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. That's the bad news. The way I look at it, this just gives us the chance to plan an even bigger and better event for 2012! Thanks once again to all of you...
