what did you do to your non-Protege today?

[concealer404]

at least it isn't a VJ11.

driving this car is like driving a stock F2T.

That solved my morning wood, thanks.

[FE3-323]

why isn't it installed yet..... I want pictures right NAO!

[atomicEGT]

started the timing belt replacement/maintenance bull**** on my dad's 97M tonight. I will no longer bitch about not having room to work on the engine in the 240, this **** is ridiculous.

Like... 97M Miata? Or something else? Miata timing belt job, especially on a BP05, is like.... 45 minutes.

if you're used to them, sure. I haven't touched one since I sold mine and so I'm sure I'm making things harder for myself.

also, seriously: tiny engine bay.

Do you has the FM crank pulley tool?

[atomicEGT]

no. the original plan was to pull the fans and hit the bolt with a rattle gun (that's what I did on mine) and then discovered the lower bolts for the fans were rusted on. so I disconnected everything to pull the radiator, and discovered that won't come out without removing the fans. that was the point where I told the car to go **** itself and went home.

in hindsight, I probably should have bought their tools (the cam one and the seal installers) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like i'm trading my 3.9 torsen for a 4.3 torsen.

Time for that 6spd/4.3 combo swag.

949Racing valve stems on Jongbloeds is way funnier than i thought it would be. Can't wait to mount these with the 949Racing lug nuts.

I have never heard of Jongbloeds but this seems like a great opportunity for Miata nerd trolling

[concealer404]

Jongbloed supplies a lot of wheels for PWC, Grand Am, etc.


And yes.... YOU LIKE MY 5ULS?!?!?

[atomicEGT]

6ULs are like the M.nerd wet dream equivalent of TE37s or RPF1s

so boring lol
