Since we're talking winter here...

o  Has anyone installed a pre-oiler in their Miata?  I saw a kit in
Autoweek recently and it made me wonder.  Seems like a good idea,
particularly for those with starving hydraulic lifters :-)

o  On a similar line, are those that installed BBR turbos installing
HKS-style turbo timers?  A friend put one in his 323GTX.  Seems
like a good idea, particularly after a hard drive.  'course you
could always just sit in the car and let it idle for a few minutes
too...

o  Finally, the most recent Autoweek has a nice editorial that compares and
contrasts the Miata with the Lotus Elan.  Worth reading.

cheers,

PS. Cado had the top down yesterday afternoon.  Blue skies with temps in
the 40-50 range.  Woo hoo, almost like spring!

PPS. Porsche's taking deposits on the Boxster.  Anyone?  Anyone?
