Lime green is a bold choice. At least they will see you coming.

Is it any different than the burnt orange of the MSM? I think anything that isn't white, silver/gray, black, dark blue, or some form of brown stands out in a crowd. Saw it in Norcal all the time.
I wasn't meaning it in a snarky way. Moreso, commenting on going from the hardest to see color on the road (black/grey) to something so eye catching is a big change.
No, that was the old color. It is originally the mica purple, then someone painted it the green. It was orange peeled everywhere and even had runs in several places.Originally Posted by tsingson
It's my son's car, so we painted it the color he wanted. We are also going to airbrush a tribal tattoo with an R in the middle of it.

Oh I know, Tony. I was just saying that I feel that other than the colors mentioned, I think they all stand out.
Purchased Ignition coil, plugs, wires, replacement cam cap, valve cover gasket. Hopefully it will be delivered and installed tomorrow.
Borrowing a friend's Honda Ridgeline; what an absolute gas guzzler!

No tracking numbers?
replaced OEM FMIC with aftermarket one:
put rx8 injectors into my msm:
My miatas:
2004 MSM Velocity Red - in
1990 Mariner Blue Turbo - sold
New APR carbon fiber mirrors Yo (you have to say "Yo" when it's carbon fiber) with Slick Auto mounting kit.
Crappy cell phone pics.
Today I burned the ever loving hell out of my arm whilst changing the oil. There is a lot less clearance for grabbing the filter from up top on the NB, than the NA. Also I have at least 20 mosquito bites on my legs.
I also bought the Turtle Wax Black Box. Tomorrow morning I'm going to give the paint a little loving.

Do you ever go to Fuel on Saturdays? If so I'll likely see you there once I get home end of July.
All I am able to do at present is dream about her. I did buy a new coolant reservoir from FrankB on MT.net to replace my Canton one with (Frank's has a sight glass) and I have ordered something special from revlimiter that I won't share until I get it installed. No, it isn't gauges (not yet at least).
'00 SE, intercooled BRP MP62, Reverant MS2, Ohlins DFV, Konig Flatout (now X 2)

I have not been to Cars and Coffee for a while. I may have to stop by some time.
Look forward to meeting you there.
For everyone having trouble with the eyeball vents, what worked great for me was cutting a couple of pieces out of a cone of shame. You know, the one the vet puts on your pet when they have to be kept from licking/biting an incision. I used triangular pieces that were 3/4-1" wide on the small end. The cone has a nearly-perfect shape, just slip them into the sides of the vent at 3 and 9 o'clock, push in gently until you release the clips and voila!

I tried this with a store rewards card, and could only get 1 side to unclip. The passenger seat vent clips can be reached if you remove the glove box, and use a screwdriver on one side. All the others were nightmares
I will NEVER change the starter on an NB again. 8_hours of harbor freight runs, rounded bolts, impossible to reach locations. I may have possibly torn something in my arm.
Found a rotting mouse in my under tray, too. It smelled wonderful.
Mazda's hired gorillas to torque down the 2 uper bolts. I had to use a 2 ft breaker, and pull with both arms trim the side of the car.
I could have done this so much easier if I had an impact wrench and had put the car on the air higher. All I had to use were Rhino Ramps. The access to the upper inside bolt is a joke. You need a combo of extensions, which I now have, and a rounded bolt extractor set for when you destroy that bolt head, which I now own.
