Brandon, did you find the Miata you needed? I haven't been on this site for 6 months and just noticed your post.

So I go out to check on Miss Scarlett and this is laying on the concrete floor beside the tire?!? WTH!!! This is the third one I've had to replace? Has anyone else had this problem?

Well that is really strange. I don't recall ever seeing something like that. Wonder if heating and cooling cycles over time have caused the clips to become brittle and break?

I know when I ordered my two replacements the parts guy said Ford apparently redesigned them because of failures.

I started it up for the first time sense winter. Let it run until it reached operating temp. One thing that was strange was, when I started it everything seemed normal. After about 20 seconds the wrench light came on and started to run ruff. engine would not rev. at all. Only idle but ruff. I did what any worried Boss owner would do. Turned the car off and said to my self...WTF is this all about.
I started it again and all was well. No wrench light and it was back to normal.
I wanted so bad to take a spin in it but the snow and freezing temps made short work of those feelings.

On a positive note. Winter is half over. hoping to be able to take her out mid March if weather and roads (salt) permit it.

I just picked up a set of harness clips from cool tech. Very robust hard wear which is recommended when its safety. Little pricey but I'll get over it.
I now have all the parts to do my harness install.
cool tech. clips
Mikes sub belt mount
3" belts
Watson roll bar. Which is already in.

I can't say I have ever had the pleasure.

Do you have any pics of the car with the red bar installed in it? I am on the fence about getting the grey or the red roll bar.

Nope.. That's the only picture I have. As you can see.
I just wanted the bar to stand out and not blend into the interior.
Red would go even better with your LS.
My X Brace was a gunmetal color and I didn't like it. So that's why I chose Red and of coarse changed the color of the X brace.

Just had a chat with my friend who works at the Ford dealership. He looked into my center cap problems I've replaced three out of four so far. He told me to bring in the receipts tomorrow and they will 'goodwill' them to me.

What have I done with it? Well, brought it home.

New to me as of Saturday, guessing it has seen some track time based on the steering wheel wear despite low miles. Appears stock except the track pack wheels.
