      got too lazy to replace the booster, but between adjusting the pedal and the pads bedding in, the pedal and feel are right where I want them.

      also replaced a couple of haggard vacuum lines on the firewall in hopes of curing a possible vacuum leak/lean condition. car seems to run better, at least.

          I just rotated off my old HP+ to StopTechs not to long ago. Somehow the dusting is worse, although I'm currently braking from higher speeds than my time in Hawaii. But I'm much happier with mid-heavy braking on colder brakes. I guess they stopped making those for a reason.

            My attempt at getting the back-light dimming working proper on the Miata foglight switch failed. Better luck next time.

              Installed the drivers side of this today to finish the pair.



              Put about 25miles on the car post install. Car is noisier over a speed bump I've gone over two times a day for the past few months and 60mph+ braking feel has a bit more confidence behind it.

              It's also cured my alcoholism and lack of faith in humanity.

              On a serious note I'll post a few install hints and my overall opinion on them after a weekend of beating on it.

                      what ****ing goddamn assclown decided making an engine with NO TIMING MARKS WHATSOEVER was a good idea?

                      new timing belt, tensioner, fancy-ass Gold Coast idler pulley, and serpentine belt are in and the car runs exactly how it did before I took it apart, so: nailed it.

                          neither, Zetec.

                          besides, the BP at least has TDC marks for the crank and cams. the Zetec has slots in the cams for a lock tool for cam TDC (which doesn't do a lot for the dickhead VCT setup) and nothing for the crank, you basically just aim it slightly to the right of 12 o'clock and hope for the best.

                                I never liked the forward most part of the mx3 console. Protege front/mx3 rear is the best of both worlds.
