Smell the Roses
With all the hustle and bustle, sometimes it’s nice to look at accomplishments, whether large or small we humans need something to give us meaning in life! Being idle is not healthy and I can’t imagine what I’d be doing if it weren’t for my little Texaco Station and things that go on;) Pics can […]

TR6 AC
Hi, it’s me again, so soon you ask! ha ha ha! I must apologize to TR6 owners which may have come across this blog hopeful for an AC in their TR6. My TR6 has a Miata engine with an aftermarket evaporator under the dash which really wouldn’t work with a ‘normal’ TR. They are available […]

TR6 Stuck head bolts!
Hi, dne’ back with another exciting blog! Today’s blog is dealing with stuck head bolts on the stock 6cyl engine. Actually, they’re not head bolts, they’re studs with nuts to cinch them down.
