Haha, yeah. I've realized I can never leave anything stock. But that's also why I think it's a good idea for me not to buy a Miata. So I'll get get a nice used $5k Mazda3/6 and keep Fatty as the money pit.
Only plans left for the MS6 is a passenger seat then I should be good to go for 2015.

Nah, it will never be pretty enough for all that nonsense.
My hat goes off to the fellow (Chris) at Mid-Ohio with the gutted, dark blue EK hatch with K20A2 and Toyo R888's I was following for a few sessions. He was fast, his car was setup well and was ugly as s*** with huge rust holes in the rear quarter panels. But didn't matter, that thing was quick and he had dat driver mod.
I don't really care too much about how Fatty looks to a degree. I've never owned a good looking car other than the black P5.

So last week I noticed a rattle on start up/shut down and noticed the exhaust was a little louder than usual. Found out one of the exhaust hangers broke on the midpipe and took a good chunk of the exhaust piping out with it. I patched it temporarily with a can, a worm gear clamp and some exhaust putty while I contacted CPe about the issue. They said it's not under warranty since I'm not the original buyer, which is understandable. And they did offer a replacement midpipe for $250 + $20 shipping. But I can't bring myself to spend that much on a pipe that failed due to the weld. I'll probably replace the midpipe when I have some spare monies but in the mean time I had my friend Scott weld it back on.
So you other cats running all three motor mounts and urethane exhaust hangers, keep an eye on your hangers. Dem vibes.

aMaff, my understanding is when you re-weld a spot it makes the metal more brittle and susceptible to breaking again.
Fez, it is quieter again, but I still have a small leak at the flange since I have to shove the downpipe way over as far as it will go so it doesn't touch the drive shaft. A little more high-temp silicone will fix it though.

It can. But if it's done properly, it won't be.
