Surprise!: 'nother MMMiata

[Gordonovski]

Sigh. Bethania said the powdercoaters screwed the pooch on my rollbar, so it probably won't be shipping until Friday. So much for celebrating MLK with part installs.

[Gordonovski]

After constant delays, got the rollbar installed. Took two days due to work and stripped threads, but it's in now. Pics for now, write up when I'm not icing my back.

Need to learn how to take better pictures later, this is what you get for now. I'm going to drink a beer...

Glad to see it's in and you were able to do it yourself. I'm glad mine was not as much of a pain as what I saw you went through but at least it's in. Harnesses and seats are much easier

Honestly it wasn't that bad, just those stripped threads set us back 3 hours. Everything else was simple, I'd gladly help whomever gets one next coughyoujamestaylorcaiocaugh

Ah okay that's good then and I'm down too. Safety installs are scary up front but pretty cool when actually doing everything

How did you strip the threads? Glad you got it all sorted out though!

When will we see you out at some HPDEs?

Think it was from the angle of the bolt. The main hoop is situated just in front of the hole where the bolt goes so it's hard to get in straight in. Apparently it happens more often than it should, according to some forums.

Probably doing a hyperdrive in February to make sure everything does okay then going DE the rest of the year!

Get your tools off of the paint without at least a heavy barrier. That's rookie level behavior

I was thinking the same thing. That paint is pretty shot, though.

Yeah, not too concerned about it. This car isn't mint, it's not gonna stay mint. I thought about if it would scratch the paint for about .5 seconds and threw it up there anyway.

A bone stock Miata with a rollbar and shitty tires: the best college car Ever. It's just science.

Hey hey, I have decent tires. Just a super shitty top and paint.

Next up: dual row radiator and coolant flush, then trans and diff fluid changes. Kind of putting a replacement top on the backburner and pushing for stuff to make it reliable for track days. Especially after it only leaked a drop of water while sitting out for four hours in our current monsoon weather.

That was a compliment! I loved my car senior year with just a rollbar and beat all seasons. Shoulda left it that way, at least for a while longer. Super fun around town.

[Gordonovski]

Hooray for some finally decent weather. Loving this car more each day and can't wait to get it out for some track days.

Thanks to Caio for the Senna signature from Brazil, now I just need to get one of those nifty new MM stickers and it'll be all set.

We'll have them at the meeting tomorrow, and for those who haven't seen, we're piloting a small run of this sticker:
Also planning on bringing them to turducken, two dollas each!

[Gordonovski]

Just a quick cruise by myself the other say. couldn't push it, got stuck behind a tractor, but the car seems to keep wanting to go. just waiting to see what the first hyperdrive decides to do to it.

So that's not the sticker you'll have? Taylor said like the old ones but I'd take at least one of the ones pictured if I ever see anyone from mm again....

Not really the thread for this, sorry Zach! Also, I have your sticker.
