I ate two burritos from chipotle for dinner tonight but then I'm liable to go 24 hours without eating anything which I understand is terribly unhealthy but I'm not fat (the opposite really) so it's hard to give a poo poo

It's impossible to OD from weed. It's completely possible to smoke so much weed that you die from excess Chipotle consumption, though.

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.

Does your garage have AC? Can you run ice water through your garage floor? Problem solved?

Sidenote: I talked to Fritz Flynn this weekend. He said he wouldn't mind if you were closer. :P

So I'm watching Man of Steel against my better judgment (always thought Superman was hokey) and there is some seriously unsubtle conservative Christian messaging going on. The evil aliens societal problems derive from birth control and they praise evolution? Come on...

Since Rhyno doesn't want to talk about the difficulties of writing for a "perfect" character such as Superman, do you mind picking up the slack?

Bought an NB2 and tried to drive it home. Radiator was busted. :saddowns:

Pulled off as soon as I saw the temp gauge move, I'm hoping that the block/head isn't toast. Poured water into the radiator and the endtank didn't want to cooperate.

Why would you think you need to do that? If you've never driven to the limit on a track your first time out is not going to require anything more than your street car in street car trim.

There is nothing wrong with bleeding your brakes, but unless you are super special with innate talent you won't be exceeding the bounds of a street car your first time out. I mean, unless you push it enough to crash, which won't be the fault of your brakes.

Autocross is a good idea, but even better is HPDE (hight performance driver education). This is the answer to "how can I make my car go faster for the least amount of money" regardless of what you drive.

Sorry, you're wrong on this. It's not difficult to make stock brake pads disappear. A Mazdaspeed3 is a lot of car and is fast as hell, when I'm going into a braking zone going 120+ mph, I really don't want to be second guessing whether or not my brakes are on fire. It's a safety item. :eng101:

:eng101:

If you've never done autocross, you can get away with a mild pad like a Hawk HP+ for your first couple of track weekends. A full brake job with new rotors, new aggressive pads, and an ATE TYP200 flush is a Good Idea^{^TM}.

Yes, I'm sure the factory forgot and put base econobox brakes on his MazdaSpeed.

Stop being ridiculous. Really.

If the car passes tech inspection and he knows how to drive it's good to go.

If he doesn't know how to drive he needs an HPDE.

Obviously a properly performed brake service is never going to hurt, but if the car isn't a pit of deferred maintenance it's far from necessary.

But at least it sounds like you had fun being outraged over nothing.

Tech inspections don't check what compound is being run. I've seen either one or two people per track weekend park their cars on Saturday because they ran out of brake pad. Also, the MS3 is pretty nose heavy, spending ~$100 on some dedicated race pads is a drop in the bucket and never hurt anyone.

I wouldn't want to be the guy who cut his weekend short because I have no brake pads.

Working with fiber optic cables is pretty straight forward. Make sure you terminate the ends properly and don't kink the cable.

Though, I can see why it'd be a difficult thing to do for a nonzero number of electricians out there. :saddowns:

Can anyone tell me about rockauto's European parts? I can get (essentially) the same Moog ball joints and tie rod ends from the UK for half the price including shipping which only takes a few more days. Are the UK Moog parts shittier quality or something? It's for a Miata, I'm assuming Miatas in the UK aren't any different, I don't see why they would be.

Don't you need new upper control arms for the ball joint? Also the Miata tie rod ends are fairly cheap even if you go through Rosenthal.

I make my coworkers lose their minds by saying that the V6 Mustang is a brilliant car that kicks all sorts of rear end, including the STi; however, their counter arguments of "lol 'merican trash" are empirically more correct.

Looks like a Miata engine, what's the success in that? What are you working on now?

Bought a 2001 for $700 that had understeered off a gravel road. Went half in with asmasm ( http://tinyurl.com/pzcxkp6 ). He wants the VVT motor, I wanted the transmission, and sell the rest for sweet, sweet profit. It's been sitting in my driveway for the past 2 weeks, so today was the start date for pulling this hunk of poo poo apart.

I posted something about financing a car and the benefits of taking 0% vs a $1000 rebate on a 5 year bank note (assuming 2.99%).

Some goldbug asked "what about inflation? $1000 now isn't $1000 in 5 years"...

INFLATION WORKS IN THE BORROWER'S FAVOR WHEN DEALING WITH A FIXED RATE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT. AN AUTO LOAN IS A FIXED RATE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT. WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKMMMMM
