Sorry to hear, Nick. That really really blows man. But on the plus side you can come play with us on the weekends now. Hope you find something for work that you will enjoy.

Nate, make sure your belt isn't glazed from squeeling and worse comes to worse, slap a new belt on there. They are like $13 right? Glad to hear she's alive though!

It's a new belt, it only wants to squeak around the 1500 - 2500 rpm range
 
Wooo Ohio! I just joined the forums about a week ago.. found this super active Ohio page. But I'm the proud owner of a 1999 Mazda Miata 10th Anniversary Edition :)
 
Welcome!

In other news...6 hours of driving at 3300-3700 RPM has left me with a massive headache. Damn rice burner...
 
I never resolved my squeal (with new Gates Brand belts) over 4 months of adjustments so I had the dealer replace them when they did the timing belt. HAVE NOT HEARD A SINGLE NOISE. These GD Mazda's are querky!!!

what kinda belts did the dealer put on? I'm running a gates belt so maybe it's something with them?

another problem, maybe to solve at the cookout, the boost gauge will stay lit after the car is off unless I pull a fuse for it

At least you don't require ear plugs to drive your car like that... Heh.
 
Haha....the thought DID cross my mind! We just got a big box of plugs at work...

I can't stand the windows down on the highway as well. All that wind and road noise/noise from other cars gets to me too. I was trying to hold off on turning the A/C on for MPG sake, but it was way too hot for that. It only knocked 3 off...still got 33 on that trip.

Depending on the speed, I've been known to get better mileage running that A/C in my P5. 72 mph, cruise control, A/C, and I'd pull consistent 35's on my way to Maryland.

But yeah, I need to take you for a ride in the Miata with the top up. I had to put it up while driving last night because of the rain, and I had a hard time hearing my headphones...
 
Eff....lol


Speaking of not working...my damn hard drive took a s*** on me again. 1st/original one lasted 4 years, which the repair guy said was rare. The new one lasted 4 months!? I don't know if I want to wait for some long warranty process through Seagate, or just buy a new one again. Should've just bought a new laptop the first time...now I have a ton of money in this outdated piece.
 
Truth, but... with the volume of the exhaust, it's a welcome change. Haha.
