Taunting Bean thread

Hey Bean!

When is the car going to be street legal again? I think mine will be on the track before then.

I just dropped the Spec Project off today at Blak Racing to get the roll cage installed and I have the Ultra Shield 6 Point Harness, window net/mounting gear, extinguisher, and fuel port test kit on order from OKMiata.

I did hear the BUR is starting to look a little like a car again instead of the back of a U-Haul

To be more accurate, I should've said: I just DROVE the Spec Project over to...

[MadMerv]

Dang! Yours will be on the track before mine.....

[channelmaniac]

I still have to go autocrossing and get my paperwork to get access to Mazdaspeed Motorsports (and save up the money) for buying the suspension kit.

It's still ready to go have fun on the track before then though.

I'll be selling those Rod Millen Panasports and picking up some Spec type rims. Probably get those from Deb & Larry up at www.okmiata.com and getting some Toyo RA-1 tires from Hamm's in Lewisville. They quoted me $130 (or was it 140?) per tire, mounted and balanced.

What's that gonna cost? I'm curious...

Also, would they build a custom roll bar?

Oh, and F You, Titus!

And here I was sitting here bitting my tongue, not posting to this thread.








Did you year the rumor about Treibenschnell? Apparently he has traded in his Miata for a Boxster.

[driftdevil]

I thought he traded it for a Yugo? It's faster than the BUR.

[sammm]

It's faster than the BUR.

The box it's in is faster than the BUR!

[channelmaniac]

Right now, my bicycle is faster than the BUR.

The cage is a cool 2k. They are a race shop that stays busy with customer referrals. The cages they had in the cars in the shop looked good and they came recommended from a thread I had out on specmiata.com. I'm sure they should be able to weld you up a custom bar. It's only money.

Ya, I think I passed you around 3pm on my way to Mesquite! You were going North on 35 near main street right? You have a red hardtop if I remember correctly.

[channelmaniac]

I do have a red hardtop but that wasn't my car. I dropped it off before lunch. You'll recognize the car as it has green painted on stripes and lots of ugly body work that has to be redone. (Hail damage that the PO tried to fix with bondo but didn't do the bondo job worth a crap)

Does that mean the stuff we was talking about will come about in the not-so-distant future for one of us which is waiting ever so patiently and tearing our hair out?

Oh yeah, thought the car I saw looked pretty damn clean!

[Mingle]

you know you have to post pictures, its required.

Not the tech day yet. Don't worry, everybody will know when that is going down

Yup! Sure does.

Then it wasn't mine!

Patience young Padawan. That will come soon. I'll try to get over and get pics of various stages of construction if I can. Their shop is about 10 miles from my office. The due date is 1/25.

I think I'll paint the cage blue if I get a choice of colors. I'd like it to match the harness and window netting color since the seat is black and the rest of the car is white inside.

Oh, and I'll have 2 drivers side windows and one automatic window regulator to sell off since the Nascar bars are going in the door and they are making me a sheet metal snap-in window to cover the hole to keep the rain out.

I noticed that those horses of his didn't hit a single cone, and no parts were left on the course
