Nope, She wont change the tire anyway. Yet another reason why I have no clue why I went through the trouble to have a spare in the car.poboyjo65 wrote:I'd say you used your better judgment, keepin the wife happy!

Ill probably have it around the block in the next few weeks. This holiday season is packed for us. I hope it works out. Steering, wiring, shifter, bleed brakes, all need to be done before it can go down the road.
Here is a vid with the car running on 4 cylinders. I likes the idle sound better of it running on 3.....oh well

Re: 62 comet, Miata Drivetrain Build
Man, I keep checking your youtube for an update. I am pleased to see things going forward. Some of you newbie's need to go back through this thread and check it out. Is it a Momet, perhaps a Comiata? All I know is that it's cool and I am not a fan of the down in the weeds look.

Re: 62 comet, Miata Drivetrain Build
it is. I looked at some modern alternatives but settled on this. It will have a cream colored top, with matching cream interior. We picked the vinyl first, then matched the top color to the interior.
