    Overheating Problem...

    Anything else changed? Missing heat shields, etc? Other mods? What boost level? Smells like overheating usually means a coolant leak. Not being able to touch the radiator is normal. Lower temp t-stat won't do anything except delay warmup. It doesn't increase your reserve cooling capacity.

    You have to be kidding me

    Might as well go with a nice (stack of) aftermarket one(s) for that price :rofl:

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    If anyone's interested in the miata brake lights, here's a pic: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p57/viru52000/Miata/IMGP9147.jpg Oh, last time I had some asshole with their high beams on behind me in the miata, I had the top down. I slowly turned around and looked at them :)

    Power window switches keep failing, why?

    Would electroless nickel plating work? Not hard to get the stuff to do that...

    What Grinds Your Gears?

    I just wait for the pack to spin down :) What grinds my gears? People who tailgate me in the miata. Doesn't happen so often now with the blinding LED brake lights though :D Outside of cars, things that grind my gears: - Not replacing an empty roll of toilet paper. - Not leaving the fan...

    how do race cars prop themselves up?

    Depends more on the stroke of your suspension. Even if you're ultra low, if your suspension droop is more than the extension of the jack... Depends. The second link has safety stands.

    Air is faster and lighter ;)

    how do race cars prop themselves up?

    Not to mention the massive amount of fabrication needed to properly mount them... Cool as hell, I'll admit, but not worth the money unless you're racing :D

    your thoughts on these mkiv headlights...

    I'd imagine the reason the used them is because they'd be lighter. Think they're custom to be honest...

    Yes, cause you totally can't be mugged while going to the beach... The whole point of carrying a weapon is for insurance, and like insurance you don't ever want to use it, but you never know when you'll need it. You calling it a "penis extension" just confirms that you don't get it. Maybe if...

    What are these connectors for?

    First one I'm unsure of. The second pic, the 2 black connectors that are the same, they're for the auxillary fans. They're used for A/C and to supplement the stock clutch fan when the engine gets too warm. Last pic, that single blue wire connected to the wiring for the A/C compressor clutch.

    I meant more where you're going to carry on your person ;) Also, the opinion that revolvers are "more reliable" was proven dead wrong way back in 1911 (if you catch my drift) Not a fan of kimbers for various reasons. One being that at their price point they should have treated barrels...

    Depends where you're going to carry. Revolvers are wide. The 1911 is a large gun, but it's actually thinner than a Glock, so it can be more comfortable to carry.

    In my personal opinion, I'd rather people didn't know I was armed. You lose your surprise advantage.

    Targa top/How I love it

    One of my best experiences was cruising on a highway 3 lanes wide with one of those and a lotus elise. We all had the tops off :)

    Taillight Mod - What do you think?

    Brake lights are too small now, not to mention the plastidip isn't shiny and as it's not translucent,won't let the reflectors work (i.e. nice fat ticket)

    TSRM section for heater core?

    Resistor, blower, or very common if the dash has been messed with, missing sealing foam for the ducting.

    TSRM section for heater core?

    The dash really isn't THAT hard to take out. It's getting everything else out of the way that's hard :rofl: For instance, the driver's seat... Oh, targa helps too just so you have more room.

    Or the "please leak here" extension hoses...
