HA HAAAAAAAA
I just looked but couldn't find it.
Well, I think we're due for a new pic then.
Nice! How much do those cost?Hopefully selling the MX-5, which will free up plenty of money for a gift to my truck:
Actually working on flooring tomorrow, unlike the last 4 weeks where I claimed I would.
Then, maybe working on the Mach 1 a little more. Also taking the wife hiking on Sunday if it doesn't pour out.
Last weekend was a complete bust. Had 3 vehicles crap out on me- a dead battery in the bike, two clogged CVVT solenoids on the Volvo which wouldn't even start, and a messed up shifter and grinding noise on the GT500. Got everything fixed except the grinding in the GT500 which I'm 99% positive is steering shaft/header contact.

Unfortunately it's pricey, $5,600; but it's all engineered/made in the US & perfect for my needs.
Going to do brake pads and rotors for the first time in my life this weekend. My V2 is in desperate need of new rotors and brake pads and the dealership quoted me around 2 grand to get the job done. I purchased new StopTech slotted rotors and PowerStop Z26 Ceramic pads for all four corners for a little under $700 and will tackle the job myself this weekend. I have watched plenty of generic rotor/pad YouTube videos and have read some guides specifically made for the V2 by other V2 owners and the job actually seems stupid simple.
Cool man. Typically quite easy. Those cars weren’t out before I left the industry but for the most part there are only a few methods required for rotor removal and caliper piston compression.
May require purchasing a couple tools that most auto parts stores will carry or rent.

The only tool that I had to go out and purchase was a wire brush for a drill so that I could clean off whatever corrosion might be present on the hub/wheel studs before I put the new rotor in. The most "exotic" tool required is a c-clamp so that I can use the old brake pad to compress the pistons before removing the old brake pad.

Being a Homer. That's my weekend. A few months ago a good friend had his wife of 20+ years leave him. I told him to come out to the coast. We'll get together and have a few laughs. He wanted to stay put but last night I get a call saying he's boarding a plane and he'll see me tomorrow. My wife asked if I offered to be nice or because I wanted to help him. Both is the answer. Damnit.
Gonna sit by the pool with the GF and look at some condos for sale at SPI. Hopefully go see some tomorrow or next weekend.
You mean we might be neighbors?
Ha! could be. Sent a pm
Getting ready for the car show today.
Pick your poison.
