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

Sho, Phen just reminded me I've got a set of 16" steelies in his attic of the garage you can have. Nothing wrong with them. You'll just need to find tires.

That would be awesome. There seems to be a good amount of 205 60 16 and 205 55 16 snow tires on craigslist.
 
Well, just got my last piece of the motor swap puzzle so it will be going down this weekend if anyone wants to stop over and lend a hand or hang out. Jake, V and I will be wrenching. :)

Hope all goes well. Why are you swapping the motor again?

just be careful with 16s and ms3's... depending on offset they may or may not fit...

It sounds so much more fun thinking about it like a puzzle!

My current motor's timing chain is loose so instead of replacing it for $700 I'll just swap my new motor in, along with the other goodies. And Jake gets a long block to build. :)

We'll have a Corona next time, buddy.

Yep, I'll start on it Friday after work. Then most of the work is going down Saturday. I scheduled Monday and Tuesday off work juuuuust in case... ;)

I'm better with motor swaps than puzzles... haha. Hopefully this one goes smoothly.
 
How much you askin' for the white Miata? (Disclaimer: Not interested, just curious.)

16x7 +45 will barely fit, know as I sold a set to a local MS3 owner a couple of years ago.

Sup everyone!

Evan, I see that spare engine is coming in handy. Sorry that you had to use it so soon.

I've got some maintenance items to do but I was planning on asking $3,600. The problem is, it is no longer miata season lol. There is light surface rust underneath but it is light, I was impressed when I went to look at it. 91, 109k

That's a very fair price. And probably accurate for this time of year. If none of the maintenance items are major you might be able to get a bit more from the right buyer. Or one of the meeps around here could snatch it up and get a heck of a deal.

It was my impression that all Miatas had a rubber undercoating (I know mine does). (The reason I think this is there was a controversy where someone scraped it all off and saved a couple pounds and it was deemed illegal for ST autocross.)
