Thank you!


I have some, various styles. Most are for things like door panels and other trim work. I can get most "dealer" type fasteners/clips if I know what you need.

I may show you what I need on my car. The 5 plastic snap in fasteners on the bottom of the front bumper need to be replaced. All the ones they sell at the parts stores are a little off. Mazda wants $5 each for the things.

NAPA usually has a good selection of the body clips (aka speednuts) or the "plastic rivets" Mazda loves to use everywhere. I got all-new speednuts at NAPA when I installed my 99 spec lip as the OEM ones were rusted horribly.

Yes. I have the permatex "manual" kit. Next time I will try the kit with the buffer wheel that mounts in a drill motor.

Would it be okay if I came to replace the valve cover gasket on my NA? The 8 is done for now. Finally got the gauge pod in. But if so, please let me know and let me know what to bring and I will bring whatever. Thanks

I no longer have a press (too much floor space used). I do have ball joint press kit and c-clamps, big vise and creative ways to fabricate tools for specific jobs.

The head light kit works very well, just takes about 20 minutes and some elbow grease!

NA Miata? Not too tough of a job. Shouldn't be a problem.
