Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

County cops are assholes and I'd rather not deal with them if it can be avoided.

 

Was going 3 or 4 MPH MAX over the speed limit and he pulls me over. Sit there for half an hour before he returns, makes this huge long speech about responsibility and the like. Then he asks me who bought the car. I told him me. I worked my ass off for this car. That shut him up real quick. But that was such a waste of my time

Was this today or some time ago? Why cops are such assholes I'll never understand. Literally as long as you're not causing harm to yourself or others around you in the car, they really shouldn't give a shit what you do. Maybe I'll invest in one myself soon, because me being me, I'll probably be hooning my car, pretty much redlining on city streets, doing pulls, that sorta stuff, and I might need it in case the cops are nearby.

Is it just me or is the driver side headlight not fully up on the Miata?

So I just totally forgot that one of the biggest car shows on the west coast, Wekfest, was actually fucking TODAY and I forgot to fucking go. Welp, it's not like I had a ride there or even money for admission. But I need to make it a fucking promise to go next year, and hopefully have a car worthy of entering.

Also pics of boat onthe trailer and @vetali thats what is on the inside of the 'bra' for the bearing buddy. Havent looked inside the hub on the other side or the buddy. Its runny

Thats probably just moisture... and the outer part of the buddy should be sealed away from the bearing area.

My main reason for not wanting a manual daily is 90% of my friends daily a manual. They all loved it at first but after about a year all they do is complain about how much they hate it

I think it depends on your commute. I've had a daily manual transmission vehicle in some form or another since 2012 as my DD. I 100% prefer it, however I have a incredibly easy commute (literally 5 minutes to work), but even my old job of 10-20 minutes, or when I went to college 30 minutes away was all light-medium traffic. There was one time I was stuck in stop-n-go traffic for an hour, and THAT sucked a lot. In the last six years I've only had to experience that once and if it was more common I probably wouldnt enjoy shifting, especially given the extra wear and tear on everything.

So I'm itching for the intercooler to come back in stock, and I'm still finalizing my decision on coilovers (thought at this point likely BC racing BR kit) and since I've got more than $800 credit left on my credit card and a day or two before the billing cycle, I figured it's a good time to pick up the RS style spoiler for my ST. Going to try and find a place that can paint the sides Kona Blue like the rest of my car though, and hopefully fill the RS indented logo (pics for reference)

Be very careful with leaving any sections bare carbon. The huge majority of commercial resins are not very tolerant of UV. You will NEED to use some clear coat with a UV inhibitor to keep it from yellowing out fairly quickly.
