Driving roads in TX

Planning a driving trip starting in the Houston area(probably confined to
TX, but….) and would appreciate any / all input on areas / roads ‘not to
be missed’. I know that there are a few links here and there, and I’ll take
those too if you’ve got them but, I’m looking for the best of the best. Like
roads most people don’t know about or ones that most people avoid cause
they’re too curvy!

Ya’all know what I’m talking about. I’m going to hit the Austin area, the
roads around Utopia and ????????????

Any / all help is appreciated!

V type bar installation

I installed a V bar I bought over the internet  What a job none of the
holes matched, now have a problem with the top arms hitting the bar
very hard to put the top up ( cover was cut when I got it )   Would you
adjust the top frame or would this get me into more grief????  Has any
one did this adjustment???   Thought of taking bar out again (god) and
dippling the bar with a heavy hammer. Need help before it rains!!!!
Thanks     Vic

Zipper Repair?

Has anyone had any experience with ZRK enterprises? It offers a zipper repair
kit for the rear window. The claim is that the slider is the culprit when a
zipper malfunctions.

Faded Bumper

Does anyone have experience restoring faded bumpers? I was wondering if I
could use abrasive polish of some sort to remove the top layer to restore
it. I have a red ’93.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

your thoughts

When I had my 93 C, I had installed a Jackson Racing Catback and CAI
setup.

What is the "hot" catback and intake system today 2 years later. I
just bought a 91 A, and want to give it a good exhaust and some sort
of intake improvement.

What do you run on your Miatas and why?

wheel hop

Greetings,
      I just perchased a 95 miata with 60 thousand miles on it. It appears to
have a set of new Kelly tires. I develope a wheel hop at 60 and it increases
with speed, naturally. I had the tires spin balanced and it improved around
half.
      This is my first sports car with all this hi-teck suspension stuff.( no
my forhead doesn’t slope to the rear, but close) :) My thought is that I may
have a faulty tire since things improved with balancing. Could it be a strut/
axel problem?     I really want to get this fixed so that I can really enjoy
this little car. So far it’s a hoot.
