I'm looking at an $850 1996 miata today that has been sitting for a while. An old man owns it an wants it gone. Apparently the price is low because of "lifter tick", I'm suspecting that all the oil drained out of the HLAs while it was sitting.
If this thing ends up being in ok condition it'll be a deal.

Lifter tick is no big deal, definitely buy that shit

I'm about to take the top of my engine, going to replace the timing belt. Should I just unscrew everything or should I put the engine in a certain position before removing the sensors? I have a 02' with VVT.

ok figured I repost this since i deleted it in the other thread.
Just purchased this Miata this week.
Still not sure if I want to daily it for the winter.
If I do I guess I'd need winter tires, a hardtop and to spray some fluid film on the underbody or I could just get a winter beater. that comes with ac/heat.
What do you guys think?
(no I didn't pay $4500 for it.)

Do not drive it in the winter. A car as special and in as good condition as yours should stay that way.
