Like, i dont know ANYTHING about working on cars for the most part. This is the first time ive ever worked on a motor, but its a miata so its simple and plenty of guides/videos out there to follow. Just seeing this is horrifying, because whoever did this just slapped it together and then sold it.
Thankfully, with a small forturne spent on seals, gaskets, new hoses and other odds and ends, it should be a reliable-ish car for track,autox and the occasional late night top down fun run
