Northern Virginia Roll Call

I wasnt on yesterday evening because I told the new owner I would replace the brakes on the Miata.... so for $97 I got all 4 rotors and pads at advance auto....

turns out I had 2 bad calipers as well.... so another $100 later, I got those replaced last night as well....

bled all the brakes starting at the passenger rear and got all the way to the drivers side front w/out incident... then the bleeder valve on the drivers front is stripped out....

but luckily, the car still brakes fine w/ 3 out of the 4 brakes bled.

tomorrow it's getting inspected by @DOUBLLD

and then the new owner pics it up on Friday evening!

but I was up until 11pm getting those brakes done.

 

Damn son, wouldn't of happened in a ford!

 

haha it's a mazda.. so..... close enough

 

Morning ladies.......

 

Drink more coffee

 

Sounds good man. I will try to make it up. Hopefully my buddy can put the spacers in my struts before then so I can have something to do, other than just stand around. I might put my bumper on this weekend, but I would rather have the spacers in first, as I know that bumper is going to make the stock suspension sag and nose dive when I brake.

2nd gen = best gen!

I dont have DRLs... but here's a pic of mine?

 

You expect to do that all in one day?!

Damn, I guess I missed the Tacocat part out, although he did give me a jack!

@TacoCat you still have the truck though right?

 

he's going back to stock and trading it in on a WRX... and there wasnt really a "part out"

I pretty much told him "I'll buy it all. let's make a deal." haha

and as far as one day.... All I care about is suspension.. I can do the rest of the stuff a little at a time.

 

That cracked part on my lights, are the day time running lights. Which are on yours. As long as yours aren't burnt I will take them.

 

I'll take some better pics of them and send them to you

 

working on 4th cup uggghhhh

 

not today man hopefully tonight or maybe lunch if I get a chance.

 

yep...I have had 2 myself and another pot brewing now....

 

On cup number 3, thinking about a fourth.

 

What caleb said. Although lately i have been online looking at the golf r and focus rs. Both are awd hatchbacks, which i like. Do i go with the wrx or sti now, and trade up in 2020 when they do the redesign, or do i just get whatever for now and wait it out? Ugh, cant decide

 

Dang you guys need to ease back on the coffee! 1 cup a day.
