Helloooooooooo

^Awesome! Hope all had a great Christmas. No gifts for me this year. Tight budget. I'll buy myself something come spring time.

That wink tells me that you have something up your sleeve Josh. lol

i got lots of running shorts and apparel yesterday. they will go great with all the cookies i pigged out on

Reminds me of a song from the 90's....

ipod sound system for the office, coffee and itunes gift cards...robin and i got a new brewer and a printer for the apartment...

Ooooo, nice. I should have bought our daughter iTunes gift cards. Every so often I get a nice surprise in my email....iTunes receipts....lol

Hope everyone had a great holiday.

Gave Mary a Coach purse from eBay. Gave the kids money, easier.

My parents gave Mary and I some money, so we bought a Sea Eagle inflatable kayak. Can't wait till it arrives.

Oh yeah

Happy Hump Day.

Tsk, tsk Bruce...taking the easy way out. haha I'm sure it was appreciated though. And nice p/u of the kayak. Have you and Mary selected any places to give it a try yet?

we need more snow!!!! keep seeing lots of pictures with these bikes popping up. i may buy one of them off my friend if i feel like throwing down the money for such a thing

 

[NETC_Redd]

snow bikes are fun My cross bike can handle a bit of snow but not that much.

I got a gopro for Christmas, so there's going to be a lot more cycling videos. The first thing I did with it was strap it to my dog and had her walk around the house.

So I fixed Macy last week but Sat I took Ryan's car out, and it wouldn't start. Ryan and a friend came down to pop-start it and got it home, at least, but now we need to figure out what's up with it. I'm thinking ignition switch.

I also got a quote from Lou's for exhausts for the mazda and the vette. $300 for catback on Macy and $600 for headerback on the vette (dual exhaust). Not bad. Paycheck after next I think i'll get the exhaust done on the mazda so I can get it to pass inspection.

 

[genericuser]

how's the Vette coming along?

 

[NETC_Redd]

it's not. It's currently still up on jackstands with missing steering parts. At this point I don't know what I'm going to do as far as getting wheels back on it. Unless it's magically not freezing out sometime soon I think I'll have to just put a car cover over it for the winter.

Double wow, I wonder how many calipers that car has consumed??

too many! I think those autozone remans are crap. Bought a NAPA one with the bracket pre-lubed, also painted black. got a pair on the new P5, put one on the old one now.

 

[NETC_Redd]

What exactly is happening with the calipers? Did you set the e-brake adjustment? I actually put P5 calipers on the rear of my car and so far so good.

morning, so on the way into work i stop for coffee, cars been running 5-10 mins, get back in the car and off to the highway...i look down at the scan guage and the water temp normally around 191-194 is 188...don't think a whole lot about it, drive for another 25 miles temp starts to come up...i get off the higway and i the first stop light i look down 222??????? by time i get to my office and pull in a parking space it shoots up to 242...i shut her down quick. when it cools down i'll go check the coolant level. i expect i;ve lost some coolant....great!

I'm crossing my fingers that it something cheap and easy like a thermo.

 

[aMaff]

Yep. The failure mode on our lovely Mazda thermostat is "Closed" which is great when that $5 part fails and lunches your engine. There's a reason when mine went in the Miata, I chucked it in the trash and then didn't put a new one in.

 

[altspace]

I'm surprised of all the P5 caliper issues. I must have been lucky because I never had that with mine.

No snow here...yet. Hopefully tomorrow.

Hope it's an easy fix Mark.

RX-8 is running great, although I need to replace my front end links. Got the clunk going on. Haha!

 

[bazooka joe]

so i checked the coolant and it was low, added some, ran the car to operating temp...rev a few time, waited about 10 mins, it burped a few times...stayed at 198 ...now to fix my washer pump!

That's well and good except that the coolant didn't just up and vanish. Gotta find where it's going dude.
