It's 97 in Portland OR right now. It was 57 and raining last week. At least my FD has AC, too bad our old house does not.

Hell yeah! So glad our weather is back to good! Bent knuckle be damned, I topped up the charge on my car and now it blows icy fuckin cold, like I'm running my seat heaters cold. I love portland.

To answer question from previous month's thread: it's a b5.5 passat, the manual calls for a special tools to set camber and poo poo, and since I just got done replacing my subframe I figured I should have the dealer do it. That being said, since I used VW tool 3393 to install the subframe, they didn't need to adjust the camber :-/. When I swap my bent knuckle out I'm gonna set toe with the string method and see where I go. The dealer scratched the poo poo outta my freshly painted hood :grr:

The Miata is becoming quite the fixer-upper. I need to:

Purchase new front bumper cover ($350) and have painted ($300)
Replace rear wheels to fix vibration at certain speeds (they apparently a little untrue and the tire guys balanced them the best they could, they're about 95% there) ($350)
Install the new fuel filler and vent hoses I got to try and fix the gas smell in the trunk ($125)
Replace the speedo cable to fix speedo shake ( :10bux: )
And now replace the AC compressor (haven't got a quote yet but I'm guessing $600)


That would put me into the car for a little over 6 grand. It'd be in great shape at that point, just not sure if it's worth it since I don't know how long I'll be keeping it - I want to move up to something else once I buy a house, hopefully in 1-2 years).

Sell me that mee-at-a for a dirty cheap price!
