Choosing Affordable Strut Bars: My Experience on the BMW M235i
I know there are varying thoughts on upper strut bars, especially on modern cars that usually come with some form of strut bracing from the factory. A lot of people say it’s a waste. Some say it’s still worth it, but the bar needs to be solid, and not bolted together like the one in…

Eliminating the Smell. Removing water from my BMW M235i.
I detailed in my first post about this car the state of the interior when I got it. For the most part, all of it has been sorted out. But a smell remained. Most days it wasn’t bad, but some days it would hit me in the face. In addition to the odor, it also…

MATG 2026 Prep Begins. Essential Pre-Trip Maintenance for Your Miata.
Miata’s at the Gap is just shy of four months away, so it was time to look over the ND and see what may need freshening up prior to the trip. I had not put a ton of miles on it since last year, however there were a few small items that had popped up.…

I bought an M235i from Carvana, it immediately needed over $13k in repairs.
I sold my 2022 BMW 330e as I wanted to get into something a little less comfortable. The 330e was extremely smooth and very nice to drive. A little too nice for me. And for the last several years I really wanted to get into an M235i or M2. However, having a child made the…

Project Frankenstein: It’s Alive!
It’s finally time to get the ND2 head on the car. Of course, before the new head can go in, the old one has to come out. This isn’t meant to be a step‑by‑step “how‑to,” but rather a walkthrough of what I did, along with some tips and tricks I picked up along the way.…

I asked AI to write a post about the ND Miata.
Full disclaimer. I do not use AI to write. Any quick read of my stuff should tell you that my writing style is 100% that of someone who does this for fun. It’s nowhere near as professional or correctly formatted in the way AI would do it. I do use AI (Microsoft Co-Pilot) to help…

Flyin’ Miata’s Little Big Brake Kit: Installed.
The curves were calling, and I was able to answer them fairly confidently during my time at the Tail of the Dragon. I spent more time on the surrounding roads than the actual Dragon but there wasn’t a bad road to be had. The whole area was littered with great driving roads. My Miata was…

Project Frankenstein: Going DIY with it?
I know I said this was going to be a long-term project and this is my third update in just a matter of days. But the actual swap will still be a long-term thing. However, I’ve been busy with prep and decided to lay out some thoughts on it as I learn more. First thing…

Part Thirteen: MATG Prep is completed.
[I forgot to send this prior to leaving for the event. Sorry, it’s my first day. 🙂 -Supergoat] It’s a wrap! The car is fully prepped for Miata’s at the Gap. Fully prepped as far as what I planned to do anyway as there is always something to do. But my list of realistic modificatons…

Project Frankenstein: It Arrived.
In my last post I talked about my plans and said I had an ND2 head on the way. In that time I also emailed SPS Motorsports in Germany to ask directly about them mounting an ND2 head to an ND1 while keeping the ND1 pistons. They said it was fine. All I needed was…
