And installed a head unit.


This is the best non-supercar 90's dash.

I'm torn on mine. I think for fencing it would be fine, but I had no idea I was buying in to the "Bostitch" system when I bought it. No one local carries Bostitch nails, so I end up ordering them of Amazon. I've tried using Porter Cable/Senco/Hitachi nails and they all suck in it. Misfires/bent nails, it was a nightmare nailing the sheathing with this thing- even after ordering the correct nails. I've had constant issues with it over/under driving nails (which is partially my fault- the regulator on my compressor is dead). If I did it all over again, I would buy the more expensive Hitachi, but only due to nail availability.

Amazingly enough, outside of issues caused by my bad regulator- it's done amazing on this siding. I'm impressed, but not enough to stop wishing I had the Hitachi.

My grandpa went HAM on refurb hitachi tools a few years ago when the local distributor went belly up. I'm pretty sure he got a bomb-rear end 10 gal, 50 pound portable compressor and a right angle drill that's still going strong like 12+ years on for sub 250 bucks. When you can find actual, green, branded Hitachis, pick them up.

Your toy shed is amazing and I wish I had the time, ability or money to use any of them like you will.

yeah I mean I and my friends do plenty of car stuff but my end goal is a shop with 32 foot ceilings so I can comfortably work underneath a 10 meter sailboat on a hoist. This shop is a good, "shoot-for" goal with the requisite mods, of course.

e: mostly because we have an open a frame with a 4 ton hoist at the sailing club that we take 9000 pound boats up on all the time and its scary as hell and I don't wanna do that anymore

And I thought I was badass for finally getting the stuck exhaust mani stud out of my m20 head this weekend. You sir are a goddamn magician.

I also stopped by a local dealer to pick up some parts. He was able to find me NOS caps for the MS01s wheels, $36/each from Mazda.

The fact that he was able to get you these is impressive. Having a good dealer and a good parts guy at said dealer is hard to find and someone you should keep around. I go 30+ minutes out of my way to go go my guy because he was once able to find a MTechnic sticker for my Mtech2 spoiler on my e30.

Also your shop is awesome and I'm super jealous of your motivation, godspeed!
