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

What's up folks? New to this forum, but have been on other Miata forums for 4-5 years. Joined here since I planned on getting my 3. Got it last night. Walked out of the dealership with it at 930 pm thanks to too many customers not enough finance guys. LOL
 
Just waiting for Friday so I can jam out to my favorite song ever made by the very talented Ms. Rebecca Black.
Best Friday Song Ever!
I'm surprised I didn't post more. I just sat around all day waiting for the clock to get to 5 o'clock.
You don't have a list of people to call that are waiting for the Fiesta ST or a line out your door?

Oh hi!!
 
I guess my dad wants to do a project with me and wants to paint the neon (he used to be an automotive paint guy) so he told me to pick a color. Also the neon does fine driving from medina to kent (40 miles) but hates driving on 71 where I get up around 70-75 (3500 rpm) and it pops out of 5th gear all the time. But never does it when I drive to a school and I do 65-70

What color? That platinum color is one of my all time favorite colors haha. The 5th gear thing is weird. Check the shifter linkage bushings on the top of the transmission. They should be pretty new and blue in color. If everything looks ok there, it just sounds like the tranny is old and worn. When I sold the car, I swapped trannies because I didn't feel like swapping the Quaife diff out. The tranny was from Craigslist and he didnt know how many miles it had. Shifted fine so I assumed it was ok. It could just be worn/old I guess. You could always get a spare and have it rebuilt? The problem I ran into there was that pull a part had almost all automatic neons.....

Edit: if you really wanted to do that, let me know. My friend in charlotte who goes to the pull a parts and strips and hoards neon parts is coming up near the end of November and he may have one he's willing to sell.
 
I mean that is fine but I think just the constant speed and holding it there at the 65-70 isn't good either. 71 you never have to slow down and its a straight shot as there are plenty of lanes and I feel like 5th just gets tired and lets go. On my way to school there is a lot of slowing down and speeding up and changing gears. So 5th doesn't take the full beating.
I am not sure on color I want to see what they have but I feel like one of the reasons I got pulled over the other day (doing 65 on 71) is because it looks like a drug car being a couple colors and I need to put the front plate on. I don't have issues going through Akron but the staties on 71 don't like it
 
Well, I guess it's a good thing you haven't picked up the latest shipment yet...


Don't try-
I'm not stupid, all right?
I know that there's no way you paid for all that s*** you got under the hood-
There's no way you paid for what's under the hood of those cars by doing tune-ups and selling groceries.
Whatever it is you're in on, I want in on it, too.
 
Lol, same here.

haha Car people are tools... But I will try the adjustment on the trany if not I'll get a replacement. I am happy with the car it has a 12.5 gal tank and I go 380 miles on it and average 35 mpg and cost $25 to fill up
 
Mid 30's for fuel economy rocks. That's why I've been driving the wifes car the past two weeks, other than the fact the FC needs to get an oil cooler line fixed.
