Oil/filter change, rotated tires, changed rear diff fluid and pulled/cleaned the breather on the rear diff (forgot what a PITA that is). I'm also going to change the transfer case fluid but need to get some more brass washers for the drain/fill plugs first.

FINALLY made it home a little over a week ago. Spent some time driving her, had to help with the preps for my oldest step-daughter’s wedding, moved a safe out of my vehicle which didn’t do my lower back any favors. All of that was over with so today I started swapping out the wideband. Did the...

I love my QuickJack, you will too. Barring any unforeseen catastrophe I'm headed for home on Friday. Will arrive Saturday. Chances of the Miata being driven that day...100%.

I have been told that no matter what I will be allowed to go home in three weeks' time. If that happens and my brain gets a rest from the craziness, I'll sit down to do some calculations to see if I have even a whisper of a hope of being able to make it, and let you know.

What I found this year with looking into a place so close to the event is there are more than a few places available. I think a lot of folks make reservations before they leave, then a year later find they can't make it. A bunch of the places I was looking at were offering discounts too. Of...

We should plan on MATG next yr! I’d love to go but with friends…. You have friends? :ROFLMAO: I'm going to try to make it next year, but given the disappointment of this year I won't be holding my breath. I can't even plan ahead, because I'm starting my seventh month aboard and without a...

If your horn doesn't have a separate ground connection then it is grounded through the mounting bracket.

Well, I thought I was going to be able to attend MATG this year. However, the best laid plans etc. The person who was supposed to relieve me decided two weeks beforehand that he was going to go elsewhere. Lots of nonsense ensued with the end result that I am still on ship. What to do to...

Is she happy? That looks really nice. I THOUGHT I was going to make MATG this year. However just like last year, two weeks before I was due to be relieved the individual who was supposed to be coming back told me he wasn't (this was a different guy from last year). I got word to the company...

I'm alive, not home. Still have about three months left. Just sticking my nose in to see what everyone is up to.

I have one of those HF heat guns. It comes in handy but it does get really, really hot on the high setting. Yes, I'm still alive. :cool:

I don't rely on the level of fluid in my brake master reservoir to tell me the wear on my brake pads. If you're comfortable with that, you do you. I do all my own work (except for A/C merely because I don't have gauges/vacuum pump) so I know the condition of my vehicles. I check pad thickness...

Oil/filter change, rotated tires, topped off brake fluid. Checked my rear sway end links, everything is still tight with all nuts present.

North or south of the river? There's a pretty active group on Facebook (if you're on there) that has drives in good weather (Ohio Miata Owners). If you don't know about it there are two C&C in the area, the original at Ta'bogo Cafe (used to be called Fuel) on Riverside Drive, the other at...

Back at 'ya!

O2 sensor arrived today so out to the garage I went. Put her up on the QuickJack, removed the old sensor, reset the wideband, connected/calibrated the new sensor (important step) and then installed it. Old sensor didn’t look bad so must have suffered an internal failure (I’m guessing due to my...

Nope. Chief Engineer, which is a four striper in my world so USN O-6.

Well that would be a demotion for me, but I get what you are saying. Funny guy. :cool:

Nice day here so took her out to run to the store. On the way home, I got a big E8 error code on the wideband. She would run ok steady-state but bucked under acceleration. I nursed her home (couple of miles), before I shut her down I checked the battery voltage since that has been an...

Sorry, I had a senior moment when I read Jeff's response. If yours had the TPMS sensors then making a tube you can pressurize like I outlined would take care of your light.
