The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[ajkulish]

so i had a pretty successful birthday...... started celebrating at midnight with my friends and well lets just say that not eating a single item all day and drinking is not a good idea, especially when you are wearing rollerblades. hahaha was still a blast though. but on the the awesomeness!

my sister really likes decorating cakes. last year she make it into a wheel (my enkeis specifically) and this years was awesome too!

and my friend stopped by and traded me this for his old mini atv back! I think its a good deal hahaha.

also got a 25 dollar gift card to subway, a year of xbox live, and these should be here sometime this week

my friend got me a romeo y julieta reserva real gran toro cut cigar which is awesome and another friend got me a new knife. and i also made my way around to installing my new headlights. a successful day indeed!

also got some really cool pedal covers!

We should both be out to Mid Ohio this year (pending my sister not getting married on the same weekend again)

Yeah, my MSM insurance is cheaper than my Protege. It's like 90 a month for me or something like that with low deductibles.

 

[darkcambria]

My speed3 was actually cheaper than my 3 to insure by a few bucks. I'll never really understand insurance companies.

*sigh* I noticed last night that my hard drive with all my photos, music, movies, etc.. is not being recognized by windows. All my photos over the years are probably toast. *sadbanana*

So I put on my AWR deep sump oil pan on yesterday and it is very slooooowwwwlly leaking out of the drain plug. Should I just put some teflon tap around the plug or what?

 

[THE Phen]

do you have the copper washer for the plug?

Want me to take a look and see if it can be recovered?

Wow I'm a dumbass. I didn't realize that is what it was for and thought it belonged on the adapter for the sump block. Good thing I didn't put it on and was going to ask about that. Thanks Phen and Evan for the advice about the gasket too the other day.

I'm going to try and hook it to a different SATA port. The BIOS sees it, but not windows.

Feeling like a freight train hit me. I'm home from work and have been getting sick all morning. How's everyone else today?

pumpkin too a pic of me yesterday, spent most of the day cleaning the car inside, I found dog hair almost everywhere I looked... still has a faint dog smell inside. On the plus side, I "fixed" my power windows, my dumbass friend failed to notice the window lock button in 7 years of owning the car...

Still dirty outside, but very pleased with it. The owners manual I got with it is worth at least 1/3 of what I paid for it, gonna be a work in progress for the whole year, next winter it'll be ready

not a member, can't see it. Oh well.

Basically there is a VVT and timing chain issue with the MS6. Mazda has a TSB for it and they extended the warranty to fix it out to 70k. I have the issue and I am over 70k so I can't get it fixed.

What's the mileage on it now? Talk to Jim Ellis, say you never got the notice and maybe they can work out a deal where you're only paying partial for it. It'll be a lot less painful than roasting a motor.

I got that letter in the mail for my MS3 about a month ago. I'm at 86k, luckily I don't have any problems.

I think it is at 77-78k It's not too far over, but I dunno. I will try and see what they can do. If not, I am looking at a 1100-1400 dollar fix.

Jim Ellis can suck a fat cock. They are just awful. Surprisingly, Rick Case is more willing to work with you.

hmmmm.... I will call up Rick Case to see what they can do too.

Don't know why I wrote Jim Ellis when Rick Case was the one I meant, up by Gwinnett Place. But yes, you're absolutely right.

Oh well s***.... They are right around the corner from me. Yeeehaw n stuff.
