50,000 mile Miata service

Tim, I guess yours is not the 'normal' situation but that's pretty early to do the timing belt. I guess if you're trying to help his sales numbers it might make sense ;-)

I hope he has great success with the business venture. Is he going to offer race support and such along with maintenance and repairs?

Chris

Well, part of it is that the timing belt is 13 years old, even though it only has 50,000 miles on it. Peace of mind more than anything else, and a sense that the car is "good to go" for the next 50,000 miles, I think. Throwing a bit of extra business his way doesn't hurt, either!

Thanks for the good wishes, Chris! Yes, his emphasis will be on high performnace modifications and race prep. The Washington D.C. area is a good area for such a business; there are lots of sports car enthusiasts and racers based here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for his success!

Tim

Yes, best wishes for his success! I wish he were in Austin.

In Washington D.C., he certainly has a very large customer base, it seems like more people are autocrossing/auto racing all the time.

I am even thinking about giving it a try. My buddy Chris D'Agnolo is going to give me a hand getting started.

With my 11+ years and 130,000+ miles in a Miata, and no *legal* racing, that may very well be a crime.......

Take care,

Pat
