What did you do to your ride today

Throw some sticky weights at it.

I got my Rokblokz Mud Flaps installed. http://rokblokz.com/mazda.html These are the full size. Look great and fit well. They do scrape a little when going over big bumps but meh. I also installed my winter wheels.

 

I have considered that, I just need to check and make sure that method would be blessed.

 

I didn't break any of the little teeth, but I took a chunk out of the base prying it off.

Will do. New vac hose, hose t, and wiring arriving tomorrow. Oil pressure won't be fully operational until next oil change.

 

Swapped out the pcv plate and was going to do injector seals until one of the torx crows feet bolts melted like butter and is now stripped. I'm deciding how I'm going to get it out, but put the car back together for that.



crapatalk, yes it sucks for free.

 

Stubby screw extractor that fits the stripped female part?

 

Pulled my oe downpipe out. Luckily was a cake walk. O2 sensors and studs were easy, heatshields gave me the most grief. Removal was a cinch as my subframe was already pulled.



Best part about Canadian winters is months of modding potential while the daily suffers outside in the cold. Who knows how much of this stock stuff will actually make it back into the car.

 

I sold my second Speed3 the other day. I was prepping it for NASA Time Trials, but I have since decided to go the more traditional (and cheaper!) route:



On the same day I picked it up I was able to score a matching OEM hardtop.



I'm definitely looking forward to this build. I know EVERYBODY races Miatas, but the amount of success the platform has had makes it hard to build anything else, especially considering how cheap the parts are. This is my second Miata, but the first one never made it to track-only status.

 

Mounted my floppy motor.

Between the recent PMM swaps by myself and @Darthxar if one actually needs justification to swap out the PMM for a better unit here's a pic of my OEM mount before it went to storage. That's a lot of movement when the center portion of the mount hits the aft side and the normal gap is better than 3/16".

 

Mine looked the same, also my TMM had some tearing starting in the rubber. I'm not making big power either, maybe 300 wheel. The factory mounts really are inadequate if you drive spirited much at all.

Non-stock PCV valve? My new OEM one from Edge was green/orange...

 

I picked it up second hand from a Nator Co member. He had it for a year on his 6 so I'm not sure what he ordered. It works well though with my check valve.

crapatalk, yes it sucks for free.

 

One step closer. Power wired, but no sensor connections yet.

 

Not necessarily something I did, but the dipshit that put gas in my car decided to fill the speed with 87 octane today. Looks like I'll be dropping the tank tomorrow if I can't get much out of the manager at gas station tomorrow. Super stoked!

 

Can you get your hands on a shaker siphon that'll fit through the filler hole? If you can get most of the fuel out you should be safe. Do you have E-85 available? That might help if you can't get all of out as well.

 

I like that start up ceremony a lot. Sucks the boost gauge is only 30psi though.

That being said, I drove my car to work today! ACT 6 puck clutch in Baltimore traffic sucks.

 

Or maybe you could just dump a ton of octane booster into the tank, watch KR carefully, and run it until you can refill with a new tank of premium?

 

I had the station give me a bottle of octane booster last night but I'm going back right now to see if they can empty the tank. Or at least cover the cost to have it done. I'd like to avoid having to run the low octane and additives thru the system

That's what I'm hoping to find. So far I've been looking for e85 but haven't found any stations. I've only lived in the Portland area for a couple months though so I could be wrong
