Okay everyone so the next meet is going to be at Krispy Kreme at the Tacoma Mall on 8/23 at 7PM!

You know I'll be there if I'm off on time.

Went a bit lower and got spacers too, fitment is almost where I want it. Missing my luggage rack, the train that it was on derailed.. lol

Maybe we could talk to everyone at the meet about moving it up north a bit? Southcenter was brought up last time. I'm fine with it either way, but I think some of the people up north would be more inclined it if weren't in Tacoma.

yeah i'd be down to go to the a Southcenter meet to be honest. i wouldn't like to drive to Tacoma.

Hey hey people.....i wont be able to make this next upcoming meet, but I'd probably be down for the one after up at Dick's......I'm right in the U-district.....Would love to get to know some more miata folks....only had mine for about 4-months so far.

You're still alternating between Krispy Creme and Dick's right?

man, i'll probably make the next one. gotta replace my slave cylinder first and get my clutch back to normal. didn't have a flare nut wrench, used a regular wrench on the fitting, and ended up rounded the nut... whoo!

Bummer, done that one before. Can you at least get it out? Did you try vise grips? It's tough because you don't want to squeeze on it too hard or it will crush. Done that one before too, but on a brake bleeder.

[iKhanh]

i didn't try vice grips because i figured that if i had trouble with just trying to get leverage on the wrench, getting leverage on a much bulkier vice grip would be a more pain in the a$$. i'm not exactly strong, but i know that it shouldn't have been that hard to make it at least even budge, which it didn't seem to do. getting access to the bottom bolt of the slave cylinder was kinda hard too; couldn't even do it at the time. i'm gonna be ordering the "Straight Shot" clutch line from Bill at Miataroadster in a couple days though.
