I like those! Where did you get them? I ordered them off of Amazon. ( www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LN6L0TO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) I really like them quite a lot, they're a whole lot better than I'd thought they'd be for the price. They're pretty robust, machine aluminum mirrors. They have an adjustable index pin in them on the head rotation so that once you have them set they won't move. (If you don't just remove the index pin.) |

Very nice mirrors .... they seem a bit pricey, until I realized the price shown was for a pair (correct?)

Cool .... ordered a pair myself, as the "recycled" Emgo cycle mirrors that I have been using quite easily go out of adjustment!

How about a shot of the mirror itself? Can't tell how convex it is on amazon.

Well, mirrors arrived today, and the workmanship is VERY nice. However ... no matter where I mount them on my top tube, I cannot adjust them "in" enough to see what would be behind me. I get a great view 1/2 a lane to the left of me, but based on seat time to date, that won't cut it. SeanW - are you seeing the same, or are you able to get enough inward adjustment?
Another general question ... anyone ever tried to return something like this bought vis AmZon, but shipped to you directly from the vendor? If so, how do you go about doing this?

John I'm seeing the same, but I've also added a 2" convex spot mirror to mine that helps with that issue some. |

Some progress...ish. Spent the day swapping out the fuel pump and injectors on my Exo. Since the pump is 20 years old and easy enough to replace I've done that for peace of mind. Deatchwerks DW200, more than enough flow for stock and mild boost. I've had the pump sitting in the garage for a month or so just waiting for me to pull the injectors to send them out for cleaning. I picked up a set of recently cleaned and tested NB injectors from Steadfast yesterday so I decided that today was the day to work on the fuel system again. Both jobs were super easy. Maybe 30 minutes to swap the pump, 60 to swap the injectors since I ran out mid-job to buy new seals/o-rings. (I wanted to make sure that the O-rings and seats on the new-to-me injectors sealed perfectly.) The car idles a little more smoothly with the newer injectors and pump in place. Not a super critical mod but nice none the less. The old pump and the new.  NA injectors on top, NB injectors on the bottom.  Fresh injector seal kits sourced from a local parts store this morning.  Old injectors vacuum packed and ready to be shipped off for cleaning and testing. I'll keep them around as spares.  |

Stopped past the DMV this morning to file for a junk slip on my donor Miata which I'd been neglecting to do. However, since registration is coming due I figured that I might as well take care of it now rather than leave myself on the hook for $100 plus a smog check on a car that no longer exists.  I'm going to make an appointment now to to start the SB100 paper chase. |

Good luck with SB100 .. I hope to follow your footstep soon.  |

A few more photos. Not a lot of direct progress today. Put some insulation in the tunnel cover, then remounted it. Installed the shifter boot. Discovered that I've pit the parking brake handle in an annoying position but it's still workable. Then I cleaned the garage.   |
