I want to leave the group, but there are a few guys on there that are not on 247 that are cool. There are always bad apples in every group I guess, except here.

Damn! Missing all this fun on facebook! NOT

Anthony, if you keep the Miata maybe you should install a clutch cooler.

Are these Miata only parts?

 

[codex]

That's an STI/WRX part, actually.

Aren't used tires about the same as a re-tread now a days? I thought only semis were able to re-tread. definitly scary

Not sure if semis are all that can use re-threads* but I know I wouldn't use them on a car. But somebody did a study on new verse re-thread* tires on semis, and the re-threads* actually held up longer and better then the new virgin rubber on new tires. So I guess it depends on who did them and what not.

Dang. Here I am rocking 185's for the winter. Granted a more narrow tire works better for cutting thru snow, but yea...

lol I had 175s on the 2/smart!

That is still being debated. Now that I have a plan for the Honda, I'd rather put the extra money into that, but transmission is definitely on my mind.

if you get rid of the 5spd, lemme know I may want it (back)

Mornin'
Hopefully today i'll have my emergency brake working again with the mazda6 rear calipers. It's routed a bit funny, but there's really only 1 tight bend that i don't like. It should work, and hopefully we'll see.
Yesterday found my sway bar bushings were devoid of all grease, and are wearing a bit. I don't want to spend money on new bushings just so i can smash them on my subframe again with the MSP's horseshoe brackets (that don't fit on the sedan subframe -_- ) so back on they go: I'm ready for a noisy suspension.

We should be getting some relatively nice weather for the next couple days, somewhere in the 70's and no rain...

Not sure, but its looking to be a nice day weather wise

 

[hat1018]

I will be in Kansas Dorothy

Oh, that's right. For a corral or just to help out one of the teams? Or both?

 

[Lewis7789]

I would like some Menchies with you guys. Especially if Jess's Miata will be there.

 

[pmartz16]

I'll be there

sold another part, slowly building up the savings. Tempted to put the MSP on craigslist as is but not sure I want to deal with the crazies.


Chilly morning, it's football weather.

 

[XCLR8TN]

Yay menchies. I will likely be trying to get temp tags today and then working on putting the body pieces on the car and making skid plates and data logging this week. I will try and make it to menchies for sure.
