Well, when you slide sideways down a bit of a hill and one of your wheels digs halfway into the mud at the bottom.... it'll do the trick. See the dirt on the wheel? That's how far it dug in :(

That and the fact that the day he turns 18 he doesn't magically mature more than he is currently. Just like you dont stay the same height all year then the day of your birthday shoot up 5 inches taller than the day before. So I dissagree with the OPs father. I say buy a new fuse and get a new key cut and drive it. But only when he won't notice, he can still kick you out.

p51hellfire, Is the car in your name or your DADs ? if its in his name (the car is his on paper ) be greatfull all he took was the fuse. But it still stinks you can't drive to work.

If turning 18 = getting the car back...
Does it also = kicked out of house? Paying your own bills - rent, insurance, gas, college, food, etc? Turboing your car behind dad's back cost you a month of driving. If you turn 18 and are still on the dole - you came out pretty good. Don't push it by putting the fuse back in. |
lol, the miata looks sooo sadd...

+1 on just go the store and getting a new fuse. But only take the car out when he wont notice its missing. Here's another "no more miata" picture. I learned my lesson after this one. :bang: https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/att...1&d=1212511916 Vash- |
Whats that saying "its always better to ask for foregiveness, rather than ask for permission." apparantly you are already in this position...
Wire the wastegate open, and show him how slow the car "still is" even with the turbo. Might get your wheels back. Goodluck |
I don't know your dad. But mine might would of put a forsale sign on it. One month of setting to have a turbo. That's nothing.
Apparently you have spoken to your dad about this too know you can't have it till your 18. I wouldn't push the issue. He may calm down after a little bit. It doesn't matter how stupid you act on fixing it. If he pulled the fuse. He can pull the keys, and you'll drive a Kia. Sorry that is kinda funny. Sucks to be 17. Everytime my 17 yr/old brother gets out of line we threaten pulling his keys. Lol. |
Kia > N/a Miata

Goodluck +1000000000000 This is the BEST idea by far, have a talk with him, tell him you understand where's he's coming from, and how you are slowly/safely adding power little by little. Let HIM drive it, then YOU dirve it with him, and after he calls u a dumbass for wasting all that money for hardly any power he'll feel so bad he'll never bug you again... The convo should be you convincing him how its about learning how to fix/work on your car...NOT going fast...;) |
Reminds me of when I was 16 and found a 65 Impala SS convertable with a 427 dropped in it. My Dad refused to sign for the car (even though I was paying), he said I would kill myself in it.
I wound up with a 64 ford 6 cylinder with a 3 on the tree. Given how stupid I was with that car, he was probably right, I'd be dead if I had bought the other one for my first car. |

i think if i had a turbo anything at 18 i would have killed myself. it's not like being alive an extra 30 days is going to give you amazing driving skills, but i suppose i can see where he is coming from. me being me now i wouldn't push the issue. at 18 i probably would have.
you could always just swap in an unimportant fuse. |
