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

^Glad shes ok, John. New superfly location is nice. Phen, david and i were out there yesterday...some little kid and his dad trailered in a little kiddy drag car, was pretty cool.

On another note: Will, did you guys replace the clutch on the miata?
 
Where's the new location, Sho? ps- why no avatar?

Will's on vacation this week so I'll answer for him, yes.

Its at the F.O.P lodge behind the akron auto auction off waterloo rd.

Why no avatar?...i dunno, i thought i had one. Wanna take a pic of me smoking some crack in my car? Its what the cool kids do
 
lol! I mean, it sounded like the "founders" were trying to clean up that Ohio Mazdaspeeds FB group. Then they post some douche smoking week with a home-made water bottle bong. Even if it is a fake pic, why would they post that s***? Just shows how immature that group is. I like the Pitt group more and more every day. haha
 
Morning. Weekend was good other than the damn P5 rear calipers pissing me off. Woke up Sat. morning and figured it was a good day to change the pads/rotors. Both are seized but this time it wasn't those sliding pins, it's the actual piston. Couldn't get them to retract without using a c-clamp at the same time I rotated the allen key screw on the PS. Even then I had to force the new pads down over the rotor. And now when I try to tighten the allen key screw, it will spin...get tight..then break free and come out still attached to the allen wrench. The gears on the screw itself look good but thinking the gears inside the caliper are hosed. Picking up two Duralast calipers on my way home and have a buddy stopping by after work to help me with the bleeding part. The only silver lining is the DS caliper is already a Duralast so the replacement will be free after the warranty. /end rant

And how was everyone else's weekend? :)
 
We need to do a drag strip meet. I wanna try and get into the mid 13's with my slow car, lol.



Ohio mazdaspeeds would be all over that, lol. Just make sure to do a bunch of drugs before you pull up to the lights. Youll be so high, you just might get into the 12's. ;)
 
I'll never forget... my mom fell down the steps when no one was home one time and she said as she was laying there in pain, our cat at the time was standing at the top of the steps looking at her and went "meow?" I don't know why but it's funny to me because that cat was never really affectionate at all, but it was clearly confused. She was ok, btw. She was near the bottom when it happened, just has some knee issues which didn't help matters.

Glad she was ok, John!

I made a short Miata video. I drove it ~250 miles yesterday but forgot the gopro.. it's ok, though.. it would have caught a lot of 5th instead of 3rd and 6th instead of 4th and 3rd gear lockout shifts...... LOL. Tranny is way too tight! Gotta get used to it.

I've gone once before. 13.73 @103 on a s*** tune on factory turbo and s*** tires. Not bad for a hairdresser's car.

Thats picking up a lot on the back end. With that MPH you should be in the low 13's. A good set of tires with a nice launch and some good driving & you should've been nearing 12's with the stock turbo.
