... or not

Didn't find any brake pads today, but I got the wheels rotated, changed the oil in the exgf's SpecV, and am getting ready to recheck the timing on the Miata. Rear pads (Axxis ULTs) have meybe 1/16 of life left and still have not heard any squealers. The fronts (Axxis Deluxe+) have at least 1/4".

I made tons of progress in my Miata as well. Got motor out. replaced rear main seal replaced rear oil pan gasket. replaced rear main seal housing gasket as well. All three of those were new two weeks ago but I think failed attempt to installed rear main seal a few times screwed them up.that tool is the shit if anyone needs to use it let me know. The motor is now back in the car with a few things hooked back up but I ran out of time it got dark so going to finish it up tomorrow. who knows maybe I can actually drive it to the next meet lol.

Drove Miata to work today. sounds like timing might be a little to high.I have a guy at work who lives down the road I take to drive home who has a timing light. he going to let me take it home and from there I am going to adjust and see if I can straiten it out.

My car seems to be at 100% I got timing done yesterday. 13 degrees. That was not the problem I was hearing. Today after work I took valve cover off and shined a flashlight down and noticed one of my timing pulleys that is for tensioner was crocked. Causing the belt on the inside to rub. I took cover off and tightened the bolt that holds it into place. Put car back together started it up. beat the shit out of it and it sounds great. so yes if there is a meet tomorrow I want to come. I miss the meets.
