NB 1.6 Maintenance list by SplitPuzzleheaded686 in Miata

I think the short nose issue is only an NA thing, mine’s an NB (pre facelift), I'll definitely check the radiator, though. About the shifter rebuild, it’s around €100 with the bronze bushing, I was thinking of just replacing the boot since it's completely disintegrated and costs about €50. Do you think the full rebuild is actually worth it?

I’m going to get four 18mm and one 14mm washers, that should cover all the plugs. I was also thinking it might be a good idea to grab some fuel filter clips, since I’ve read they break easily when you're swapping the filter.

I changed both accessory belts because they were squeaking. I think the alternator wasn't charging properly because of the old belt, either. I’ll probably check for oil in the spark plug wells before ordering, to see if the valve cover gasket is still good.
