    :) That is like how I bought my Miata in Ohio and they let me be part of the Ohio owners groups. I was grandfathered in. Great people out there, just a shame they are 11 hours away

    I never joined them since they hare dues to pay. More so the Massmiata club on FB, or Everything Miata CT on FB. Then don't even get me started on the nationwide groups. I poured a lot of money into making my build done right, no cutting corners. There are so many pieces of crap miatas out there which I just hate having to see in person.

    Came home, taped the kick panel and marked it and drilled the holes. Way off. Going to order another kick panel tomorrow.
    I'll run the antenna and power wires to that location while I'm waiting for the part.

    Went to grab some wire and realized that I'm out of 16 ga. black wire. Ordered some, it should be here in a few days.

    You use that speed shop in Danbury by the airport? They seem to have quite the widespread reputation (good).

    I use Musante Motorsports in South Windsor...I'm east of Hartford. SpeedSport in Danbury is a very well regarded shop with the Porsche crowd.

    I do not envy you! The job I had before where I am now I did outside sales based out of my house in Wallingford. On day one they changed my territory to where I often had to go to NYC, Newark, Long Island, and Eastern NY up to the MA border. Needless to say I did not stay long with that bait and switch BS! Driving to Newark during rush hour twice a week was not good for the mental state. Now Wallingford to Middletown via backroads is fine by me!

    Yes, but normally I do my measure 6 times and cut once. This time I didn’t. Lesson learned.

    Pretty good . Just a very small spot that’s sore to the touch . I’m lucky that limb didn’t split my head open . My helmet should be arriving today :thumbsup: thanks for asking .

    Ran the antenna wire for the most part, wanted to see where it could be run and what obstacles were in the way. I'll tidy it up in the next couple days.
    I'll run the power wire right next to it. The only problem is that the cable is 6 to 8 feet too long.
