damn you too....

How many miles did you have on the belt. Mine didn't do to much damage but later on a blew my headgasket adn bent a rod. I believe my cylinder head cracked causing the gasket to lose its seal. Thus filling #2 cylinder with coolant and bending the rod.

it was mostly stock, with the exception of an old stereo system, Axxis pads up front, VGX pads in the rear, new calipers in the rear, a custom pipe after the exhaust manifold.

I had about 2 years/25k miles on this belt.

I just picked up a 97 Miata M-Edition

Nope, no rear spoiler on my MAx. just the base GXE

Are you planning to sell the car? I may be interested?
Depending on the price and where the car is located

I was going to send it to the junkyard after I took out the CD player, amps, speakers, cross over, etc.

I'm in Ephrata, PA (60 miles west of Philly). If anyone wants it, they can have it for $250 and I'll leave all the stuff in there. It's got new Axxis pads w/ less than 3000 miles, new calipers in the rear, new front-half of the exhaust, new Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce tires w/ 4000 miles, paint kinda sucks on the hood (but for $250 you can't complain LOL)
