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

[hat1018]

The bolt holding the arm onto the motor probably came loose. That's happened to me once or twice.

So it might not be catastrophic. Thats a good thing.

edit: crisis overted. the nut had backed off. i took the nut off so i could see whats up and there are a few teeth left inside the arm, next time i may not be so lucky. i will have to start checking with junkyards for another wiper arm and an abs wire.

So... That sinkhole in FL is ridiculous. Apparently that's common? I don't think I'd want to live there.

oh... and here is some reading for those who dont know...

the link on the first post there goes to a very informative write up.

good thing we dont encourage street un1t here... but now we need to keep away from SURE... i mean street unit...

Well that was an interesting read.

I almost bought their rear mount for the 2. Looked solid.

The TCSportline control arms I bought for the Miata failed just like the SURE camber arms, FYI. Hit chassis, stressed the bolt, broke bolt, gave me infinite camberz. Thankfully I was going about 30mph instead of 90.

So that's not frightening.

Eh, SURE has been promising a CAI for the 1st gen 6 that doesn't throw a lean code (even the Mazdaspeed CAI throws a lean code eventually). Their motor mounts are a joke (i'm AWR all the way) and their prices aren't great for anything. This just confirms its not a place to ever look at again.

I have the shortcut and it worries me. No issues with the boot yet, but im thinking about taking it off

I think if you drove the car at a normal height it would never be an issue.

The problem is, they were marketed to people that were low because they allowed camber adjustment, lol.

Yep.

 

[bigsho]

That doesnt look safe!

Holding your ADP Hostage! My bad though, was working from home.

I don't think there are any problems with their oil catch cans

They don't have anything specific for the protege, and it doesn't need anything. I tried to order the Tru-Boost for the MSM last night, but the certificates don't work on the SU site, only on SURE so I have nothing to order.

$20?

its $100, I'd like to get more than $20...
