Welcome, as I am no lonnger the FNG(I hope), i am not the mechanic by far but I can start to be the Photog and try to get some pictures of various events posted for all.
I'm in the Villas of Vista Ridge. Well im getting used to the um...imports, but have done lots of stuff to my old f-bodys (99 SS Camaro and 00 WS6 T/A) Miatas seem just as easy only on a much smaller scale.Quote:

Hey, another F-bod convert! If you've done work on an F-body then you can do a ground off on a Miata blindfolded! ::Rimshot:Quote:

hey guys, yep, we have the car right now. it's a pretty big job. Right now we're torching out the old control arm bushings and getting ready to press in the new. I agree it's a bit more involved than just a garage session at home unless you have all weekend. Truly, timewise we need about 7 hrs. or so to do the bushings, shocks/springs and alignment, but we've done them before, it's just time consuming.
Hope to see y'all in the future!

DT! Dani is doing great, the beagles are also doing wonderful, except for my lemon/blonde beagle, Megan. She is suffering from a slipped disc in her lower back. i have her on pain killers while she tries to rest as much as possible, but it's painful to watch her stand all day. She can't lie down at all until the medication kicks in and knocks her out. it's been a few days now.
Hope all is well with you!
Dan & Dani
Well...wow, I can't believe that you knew it was me. I really want to say thank you publicly for the outstanding job you all did. I got there at 8:30 and got a call back by 4:00 with the car ready to go. It was well worth the drive for me to have someone familar with miatas to do the install. I will be coming back if I need anything else. BTW the car feels awsome (as well as it can with those wheels and tires anyway). Thanks again, and nice shop.Quote:

So Dan,
How's the SM2 NC project goin'? I can't wait to see that car in action. :mrgreen:
It's going slowly. finding parts for this thing is impossible, so we're going the "fab" route or contacting manufacturers. We have an exhaust being built, the turbo should be done in a few weeks and we're shopping for suspension (JIC, Eibach or GCs). When the car gets back we're gonna be test fitting some more wheels/tires. We may not be able to fit 285s on it after all, so we may have to stick with 265s all the way around.
I'd *like* to have something decent by Walnut Ridge, but don't plan on it!
Dan
