Front Tiedown Loops

Do the bolts that attach the front tiedown loops serve as any other
purpose than to attach the tiedowns, or is it ok to leave these three
bolts out after removing the tiedowns?

I just removed my front tiedowns on my 92 white A but I reinstalled
the bolts just in case they had someother purpose for being there.

She sure looks SWEET without those ugly tiedowns hanging out the
front end.

Mazda recommends every 60,000 mile replace timing belt.  Any chance of it
going before that time?

Really strong Clutches

What is the strongest Clutch out there for the Miata??

I am currently using the Centerforce Dual Friction but it ain’t strong
enough.

My Miata has:

                A Begi autorotor set at 8 psi
                NOS system rated at 60 hp.

Now that I have the J&S setup right the clutch slips terribly under NOS.
I noticed prior to installing the NOS that if I slamed second I could get
the clutch to slip.
I have never gotten any second gear squeel out of the tires the clutch will
slip instead, is this normal for the Centerforce or do I have something
wrong with it??

Any help would be appreciated!!

Battery-Which One?

The FAQ I found at www.miata.net leans towards using a Factory
replacement battery. I have always gone with aftermarket batteries in my
other Mazda’s because the factory batteries were always inferior. The
FAQ one comment was that the other batteries did not fit as well. The
other is the acid issue, but I will go with a sealed gel type battery.

Thanks

96 M Sensory Sound Stereo with CD Changer?

I have a 96 M with the factory Sensory Sound System radio.  It has a
single CD player built in.  I would like to add a CD changer to the
system, anyone have any tips on how to do this?

I would rather steer clear of the RF modulators, as I heard they limit the
frequency response of the player.

Does the MSS system have any additional inputs I can use?  Or has anyone
tried making a switch for the internal CD and external changer?

Adjusting the Mirrors

I have a problem, each time my 96 Miata is washed, the mirrors need to be
adjusted.  This means I must roll down the windows and play around with it
for 5 minutes.  Is there any type of power or manual adjustment  lever
which I can purchase?  How much would this cost, and where would I buy it?
