Aside from spring issues, I noticed that the PO
installed a 7 lb radiator cap which would be stock on
a GT6 mk1 application. However the engine is a MK2
engine and I think it has domed pistons...it goes
really well! I noted that the parts books all call
for a 13 lb cap. Would this help cool the system
better? I ran hot all summer long so of course I ran
the heater! Thank goodness for those CLOTH Miata
seats! Oh, we picked up a radiator shroud from
Spitbits. I'm hoping that will help. I haven't
installed that yet. Nigel told me it installs on the
engine shields. Unfortunately, I don't have those.
Anyone have extras? I'm quite certain, I can
fabricate something if I had something to work from.
