Just make sure to keep a set of caps in the glove box/toolbox. One of my crankcase vents pissed oil at the track and I had to cap it at the track.

Needed to work on the miata, didn't really feel like it.....so I drank beers...then decided to finally make an oil pan baffle. Not my best work. Beers....Friday. ..

Front end is pretty much done for now. Winter is coming and I can't afford the shop anymore, so the splitter has to wait. The car is probably 4 or 5 hours from driving again.

looks mean. like "get out my way before I eat you" mean

sonofthehill 10-13-2017 07:23 PM

Funny how mean these little cars can appear. I want to get an anti-mini sticker that says "Warning, this car will appear larger than actual size!"

ryansmoneypit 10-13-2017 08:57 PM

Yeah, with 24" of vertical bumper, they look a little more mean.

ryansmoneypit 10-13-2017 08:57 PM

Yeah, with 24" of vertical bumper and the ability to swallow small children, they look a little more mean.

I need to come up to your place and have you help me build that on my car.

. Here I am, fabbing more shit on brand new shit. Wut. The. Fuck.

to all- switching from a 2560 to an EFR is a complete redo. None, none none, none noooone of your other parts wI'll be interchangeable. Treat it as if it were a brand new build.

ryansmoneypit 10-27-2017 08:00 PM

Modded a bunch of stuff, tightened things, fixed a coolant leak, fired it up, turned it off then dropped the mic. Turned out the lights, test drive tomorrow.

Only had a few minutes on Saturday to go for a test drive. Went about 2 miles, made about 15 lbs boost faster I could keep track. 3rd gear on 205's is a joke. You can pretty easily stay in a constant state of wheel-spin. No leaks of any sort, so that was nice.

Ill get some logs in the next week.

ryansmoneypit 10-31-2017 08:34 AM

RAD UPDATE: Started the car this morning before work, then went inside to take a morning dump. came out to 2 gallons of coolant on the ground and a car unhappily idling on 2 cylinders. Tightened the hose that blew off, drove to work. On two cylinders. Nice.

This sport is bumming me out.
