    Raleigh Area Miata club

    Hey guys. Wanted to go ahead and start a new thread for us since the previous one was so damn long. I'll post the next meet information here. Great meet tonight. Looking forward to the next one. Maybe we can do a cruise somewhere next time.

    Yes, cruise sounds good. In case anyone is interested, Cars and coffee is tomorrow. I'll be there.

    BTW, we talked about ATE Super Blue being outlawed at the meet but, it seems to still be very readily available. I picked up a couple liters from Rosenthal. Not that it matters, type 200 is the same stuff and it's not going anywhere.

    I was on my way home from dropping my wife off at the VA in Durham and I was on 147 doing about 70mph and I came upon a Ferrari and 911. The Ferrari moved from the left lane to the slow lane because he was doing about 65mph. Well, when I passed the 911 who was in front, the old man didn't appreciate me driving 70mph so he tried to swerve into my lane to try and slow me down. Well, when he did that I swerved towards him (but I stayed in my lane, he crossed into mine) and scared the crap out of him. I don't understand what his issue was but it pissed me off. I figured that he and the Ferrari were headed to Cars and Coffee so I didn't want to have to break out my "tools of mass destruction" bag at the meet.

    Anyways, I was thinking about scheduling the meet on Sept 18th, which is a Wednesday for Starbucks at 7pm again. Let me know what you guys think.

    Close to the mib date. I should be able to attend on weds, but that's a while from now. James might need a hand or 2 pulling out the engine again this weekend. I have a lot of things to do and probably can't help. Should be easy and straight forward since the rear main is the only thing getting replaced.

    Sorry buddy but the show has been cancelled. Lack of display.

    Oh yeah, I painted the wheels. The color is way lighter than what was on the cap.

    Nice. Had the same problem when I painted mine both times. The "argent silver" was darker and flatter than on the cap, the second color was far brighter than on the cap.

    I actually hit the wheel up with more plastidip to use as a "primer-like" coat and then hit it up with the spray paint. The paint stuck to the dip like glue. It was pretty amazing to see how well it worked.

    Two times in less than a month of have pulled my Miata motor. First time was a swap and second time was a rear main seal and bending on transmission tunnel to allow for obx header to fit. I should have like level 10 shade tree mechanic skills now.
