    Local shop suggestions?

    If there is a thread about this already, please disregard, but I'm looking for any suggestions for independent shops in the area that would work on a Speed3. I need to get shocks and springs and a few other odds and ends fixed up on mine, and this time of year unfortunately I don't really have...

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

    Haha nice, I was just about to post it in here actually. Someone beat me to posting it on failblog (not my picture though). I sent it in to Jay Leno because as much as I hate him, it'd be cool to see my picture on national TV.

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

    I'll keep an eye on that thread, I get my bonus in December and if by any chance they are still around, I'm seriously considering it. Thinking these could look good on a black MS3 but I could be wrong.

    Rays Gram Lights "Maximum" 18x7.5 +48 offset 5x114.3 w/Yokahama Parada Spec2 w/ TPMS

    Ohhhhh s***. I will be keeping an eye on these. Although I doubt they'll still be available in December, I would seriously consider spending my bonus check on these. Black MS3, white wheels, feels good man.

    HOW TO: Replace Cabin Air Filter

    Did this today, overall not nearly as bad as I was expecting up until getting the actual cover off where the filters are located. I didn't see that 4th screw up in there and started pulling and tugging at the cover with one screw left in. Needless to say I spent about 20 extra minutes just...

    Rmm

    A couple tips, make sure you either get the car on ramps, or if using jackstands get the car as high as you safely can. Trying to **** around with a torque wrench under the car is a real PITA unless you have enough room. Ask me and my bruised knuckles how I know...

    Rmm

    I went with the CS inserts since it's my daily driver and I appreciate the lack of vibrations that come through. You will definitely notice a difference with the inserts, but obviously it is a compromise between stock and a new RMM. One of the best value mods out there.

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

    I just paid my renewal, it was $473 for the full 6 months, the 08 Speed3 with full coverage and the 91 Miata at liability. I'm 23 and the only one on the policy, one speeding ticket. I work for an insurance company so let me know if you have any questions. First tip is unless you really like...

    And yes, those are 10 inch wheels/tires. And no, they do not go over parking curbs very efficiently.

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

    This is the doorway it came through: This is where it currently sits now, after some careful maneuvering: Long story short to how it got to this stage: my dad and I were driving home from watching vintage races at Mid-Ohio, pulled into a downhill parking lot and the brakes gave out, ran...

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

    We are currently at 3 people and 6 cars. 2 in a garage, 2 in the driveway, one in the backyard, one in the basement (found out a 68 Mini has no problem fitting through standard double doors). It's like a ******* car safari around our property.

    Ohio and front license plates

    I was not happy when I went to get plates since I had just put the car in my name, and they told me that all new plates from now on are the hideous farm scene design. Girl behind the counter said most people request the red white and blue style, and are pissed when they can't get them. I've...

    What have you done to your MS3 today?

    I ended up just ordering it from the local dealer. With having them ship it from California it's about the same price as it was to order online plus pay for shipping. I guess there are worse things that could've broken, this looks like it's going to be tricky to unbolt though.

    What have you done to your MS3 today?

    I got about half way done installing the Corksport SRI and TIP. By half way I mean it's currently sitting apart in the garage because I broke the damn nipple on the boost solenoid trying to remove the hose. Now realizing I should've read a little more on here before attempting this and I...

    New guy from Cleveland area

    Yea, I used to go to almost every event of the season when I was in high school and part of college, my dad and I both drove the old miata (think it was in E-Stock at the time). Definitely fun stuff, but I'm now realizing how much more it costs to by 18 inch race tires than it did to buy 14 inch...

    New guy from Cleveland area

    Yea I posted up in a couple threads there, and I'm surprised how many people are active around the area. Hopefully I'll be able to make it out to an event sometime. Where are you working in Wickliffe? My guess would be Lubrizol since they're one of the largest companies there.
