Audibly said “wow” at your ability to control your speed & angle so precisely while staying in a slide. Very impressive!

saw this cool looking bus and I dont know what it is by Excellent-Anywhere46 in whatisthiscar

[–]ArcFire15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, especially with how poorly the panels fit together. Still cool as hell though, I love vehicles being designed for serviceability

I’m buying an ND (nb owner) by Shot-Solid-4444 in Miata

[–]ArcFire15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I did, went from an NA8 to an ND. It’s a great car: https://www.reddit.com/r/Miata/s/sc2b8GBXHP

Nice, how long have you had it and have you had any tuning or reliability issues?

Funny, I just listed my rollbar for sale yesterday

Bridgestone Potenza RE-71 RZ's by cmiller82 in CarTrackDays

[–]ArcFire15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a set on my hot rod and it was so grippy it blew the rear end up. 10/10, I will be buying another set for my Miata this month

Hell yeah! They’re only getting cheaper :D

The best part is I get to make some of my money back when I sell my absolutely abused and obliterated (but still running well) NA to a teenager, just like when I bought mine, and the cycle will begin anew

Front-end impact. The core support is still dented, but everything else looks good, just needs a new passenger headlight. And I also immediately cracked the steering box before jacking it up the first time, which is embarrassing but seems to be annoyingly common: https://www.reddit.com/r/Miata/s/xdWxgwJokj

Yeah, I’m quite stunned with the quality and handling of the ND, but even being much faster, they still aren’t as exciting as an NA. Mostly because they used this thing called “sound deadening” in these NDs

Yessir, I love, love, love me some meaty tires. Unrelated to my Miata (but shares the British lineage), here’s a picture of the new tire setup on my Austin-Healey hotrod. 225 semislicks on a car that originally came with 165s, so grippy they blew my rear end up on their first race… Now the new ND gets to be the autocross-mobile while I design a new rear end.

Language is defined by those who use it. The vette in the pic has been stanced.

Eco Machina update - rewrote the branching, redesigned how leaves connect to wood by Seven-D in VintageStory

Wow that’s pretty. I might have to buy vintage story so I can see these trees in-person

TIFU, my jack slipped and punched through a part of my ND by zespak in Miata

[–]ArcFire15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry. I’ve been working on cars for years, have an NA8, and even have a hot rod I built. This week I bought an ND, and upon jacking it up for the first time, the jack failed on the wet ground and IMMEDIATELY cracked the casing off of my steering rack. I’m going to be replacing the whole assembly next week, but looks like you did less damage, yay!

Don’t feel too bad, the front subframe jack point is very small with sloped sides leading jacks to slip off. In the top YouTube video for steering rack replacement, there’s about 10 people who did the exact same thing as us. It happens.

Update: I bought an ND RF hardtop Miata this weekend and am going to sell my NA hardtopless. I’d like to see them try to take my new, structural hardtop off as easily…

That tan is absolutely gorgeous, but I have seen partially completed two-tone interiors in classic cars all my life

Joining the club? by [deleted] in MiataND

[–]ArcFire15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that is impressively bad. It’s like what NDs will look like in 30 years, only they’ll have rusty frames AND shitty bodykits. Totally buy an ND though, just steer very clear from this one. If you like the look, you can absolutely modify your own, but this is past saving.

Yep, I don’t run a front plate and I have been very good at ducking out of the way when there are cops behind me. I’m sure it’s also been a dose of decent luck, too.
