I've done a few other side jobs "while I was in there".  I don't have any pictures of any of it, but I changed the stock oil pressure sending unit and gauge.  That's because in 1995 Mazda decided to start using a "dummy" gauge that basically only knew "off" or "on" and didn't act like a real guage that measured pressure.  1990-1994 miata's had real oil pressure gauges, so I picked up the parts from a salvage car and installed them.

Here's what stock motor mounts look like.  I replace them with Mazda Competition mounts, which are a little stiffer.

 
I'm also changing out the horrible stock steering wheel with a Nardi leather steering wheel and airbag from a salvage 1999 miata.  This photo also shows the new gauge panel that houses a boost, wideband O2, and oil temp gauges.

You can see the oil pressure gauge in the dash has graduations on it - that's the "new" gauge, the stock 1995 gauge had meaningless hash marks
