Thanks guys. Yeah, I had a sensor that was held to my strut bar with a zip-tie fall into the throttle mechanism and lock it at full thorttle coming down madness. I stomped on the brakes first, then pushed the clutch in to let the car slow and turned it off as soon as I could. No damage, thankfully and I now have TWO zipties on it.
I think the honk was "why are you going so slow at the apex A-hole"

2 zip tires
I like that fix! When I see someone going that slow I usually assume that it isn't on purpose. I would assume that there were probably yellow/white flags out there as well. (shrug)

morning peeps, anybody want to have it a guess how much the stealer wants to do the timing belt on the MSM?

a little high, but good guess
I considered for a second having them do it, but I'm glad I have my pumpkin to help me (k)

^ times like this im so damn happy i have a timing chain...
this is the other thing, Montrose service has gone to s***. When I called them up to get the quote, the service guy (maybe the manager??) asked a tech how long it would take, the tech proceeds to say the MSM has a timing chain, the guy wouldn't believe me it's a belt so I had to talk to parts to get the evidence... yeah

it would probably be close to $800 if you also got parts from them

Every since Sandy left Montrose, they've gone down hill service wise. If you guys arfe going to start building your cars, especially for track and auto-x, you should sign up with Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development. It will save you a lot of money! I just got a new water pump for the MSP $67.00, normally it would have been $113.00, every little bit helps.
Ihave already complained about the service department, so you guys should do the same.

I purchased all of my Mazdas from Park, they have a great tech in Mark, but they are not what they used to be...as they used to be very mod friendly, now they're not.

I'm not driving to woostah for service, and I'm certainly not having a stealer do the timing belt... do you have any idea how much stuff I can get for her with that money?
Hi, I'm Pablo and I have a modding problem...
Hi, I'm Pablo and I have a modding problem...
true it is far away...
just like it's hard for me to come up to the Akron area all the time too, i mean i love working on stuff, hanging out, and all the help i get from you guys (love ya, Evan! lol)...but at 40 miles each way...i'm spending $15 just in gas every time for the trip...kinda sucks...
i kinda feel like an ass just making the trip only whenever something is going on or when i'm installing something...especially with a car payment now, money's a lot tighter...but i hope you guys understand!
...and i think we all have a modding problem, lol
