NEMOC Random BS Thread

Nope, just keeping my eyes open for grabbing something that I can pour the miles on rather than the MSM. I put 31,000 on the MSM in the first 12 months of ownership, and I'd rather not keep that up.

Not to mention that the wife keeps getting annoyed every time I take the MSM out of commission and use her car for a few weeks here and there periodically.

Ahh I see. Picking up the RV today from warranty. Will take it back to my sisters till May 1st. ried to get a look at the campsite but the owners were out. Lake level is still high, hopefully no delay in the start date.

Started looking for work yesterday, ahh the thrill of it all.

Should have a buyer for the turbo stuff shortly.

Eyeballing these two cars to pick up for daily/backup with the cash:
1994 MX-6
2002 Protege5

This one is also tempting because of the price and condition, but doesn't really accomplish anything I'm looking for:

I like that MX-6!

Morning all.

So went to pickup the RV and the radio is dead. So it's still there. Mom left for a long weekend to get a break from Dad. Should be an interesting weekend for me, lol.

Just signed up for an autocross with the Abarth. Time to see what the little bugger can do.

Likely won't find anyone in this group that knows. They're a little far from Ohio. Haha.

get the p5, then you can install my turbo, manifold and exhaust on it!!

 

[Reitrof]

The P5 has 181k on it, might want to do a compression test, they're not stout engines. Rust is starting in the normal place on the pass rear. Check the rear hatch and see if it's rusting there and under the doors. I would get it on a hoist and see what the underbody looks like.

Looks like it would be more useful than the MX6.

 

[6speed]

Yeah, there are issues, hence the price. I'm only looking at "beaters" though, so I'm expecting some level of issues with body/rust on just about anything I pick up. Given my area (high ratio of commuters to NYC), anything that has 'good' gas mileage tends to command a premium. $3k+ for a 1990s civic in poor condition isn't unheard of. Beaters somewhat outside the norm is where I have to look. A P5 keeps floating to top of the options, having decent mileage, good handling, great utility, relatively low price, etc...

So went to the summer RV site and i have waterfront property now. The trailer furthest to the right is my brothers, he can now windsurf right from his deck. Still hoping to move in May 1st. Mine is the empty site on the left.

Took the rig in for some warranty work, and when I went to pick it up the radio was dead, few more days to determine the head unit is toast, waiting on Clarion.

 

[CTt3P5]

Oh no Bruce....how much did they jack up your rent for the waterfront property? Your brother didn't get any water in the trailer, did he?

Mike...I know of an 02 with 18xxxxk on the chassis and ~80k on the engine. Of course I'd have to consult my daughter for the price. hahahaha Sadly the cancer is becoming an issue and now that the weather is nice I've got to get some rust inhibitor and apply it. Hoping to slow it down to prolong her life. Have you checked the LV area to see what's f/s?

 

[6speed]

Yeah, you hadn't mentioned selling yours, though I thought about that possibility if you were to sell it

I'm keeping an eye on craigslist cars from here through northern NJ and here down to MD. Not in a rush yet, just waiting for a good deal mostly.

Not that I can see, not sure if the water got that high. Can get to it without swimming anyway.

Engine cleaning, going to attempt it today. Engine temp? Warm, cold or hot? Can't imagine hot.

Mom comes back today from her getaway, yea!! Dad did ok but I didn't get a lot of sleep. Taking off tomorrow for a little road trip.

warm, not hot....job hunting? going back to the last place?

 

[Reitrof]

Good, thanks. Job hunting but not back to the old job. They have no openings and it's too far to drive daily, over 40 miles each way. Not great on min wage. Trying to find something closer. Filled up the car today since back from the US. Premium gas is 1.50 a liter or 6 bucks a US gallon.

Also found out the RV park will not open till May 10th. So we may have to boon dock for a week or so. Need to get out of my parents place this weekend as I have a week of car events in Ottawa I need to attend.

Lol, how would you know?? Are you camping there in the trailer?

Spent part of the day doing chores for mom and getting the tractor up and running.
Got the miata engine washed. Looks better, still needs some more cleaning. Had to stop since Dad was roaming and Mary couldn't get him to settle down. Doh!
