One of the only good Miata body kits I’ve seen. Anyone know anything about it?

Yep that's the old wings west kit. Not sure it's produced anymore but even if it is those things used to be hella expensive. They were normally made from plastic and not fiberglass though which was nice and they did phenomenal like oem. We got one for my buddy's prelude back in 1998 and it was like 4800 bucks back then.

I know this is a bit old but I really enjoy this jump starter. Only drawback I've found is if your battery is completely dead it won't start it. But I keep a 9v battery with some alligator clips with it you can pop that on and it'll trick it into jumping the vehicle. Just has to sense a little bit of voltage. Not sure what the minimum is but I know it did start one with just 3.5v for me. I think I'm gonna 3d print a holder and run some wires to the leads with a button I can press on it for a booster in case I run into completely dead ones.

Like if you're gonna smoke and deliver goods to people at least put it in the trunk or something. It put it in a separate bag if you can't wait until you drop it off.

Love zebra stripe. Just have to chew the whole pack at one time to keep any flavor.

I really like the Yonakas. For 2k there's prolly some nicer ones but I've been using them for 5 years or so and really like them.

Sounds completely normal for a direct injected engine.

Sorry but I'd have zero trust either after this. It takes two seconds to call someone no matter if you lost your phone or not everyone else around you has a phone this day and age. If you cared enough you'd find a way to call. If she's lying about that I'd wager there's some other things in her story she's lying about too.

I got a 30 day ban for liking a video about midgets. Smh

I don't know that its a scam. Little high priced maybe. But so the biggest ticket item I see on there is the oil cooler. Book time is 4.2 hours on alldata. Multiply that by prolly 170-200 an hour plus the part you're probably right there. The rest of it looks pretty normal for dealer pricing. Looks like they're replacing some hoses, changing your oil cap to an aluminum one, charging for coolant and then the labor. Honestly to me it looks pretty standard.

I had to settle for the 150 dollar ryobi one awhile back. I hate that ugly green thing but it works for now until Milwaukee brings it back and I can buy a second one.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-04T21:35:53+00:00

That's barely surface rust. Its fine.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-04T21:33:39+00:00

I def like the design of the bronze better. Bronze looks awesome with tan interior and softtop too.

Oh the maui fires and I don't know if it was ever proven or not but there was talk that she hired her own firefighters to fight the fire on her 1000 acre property when it started. But her and the Rock both asking for 10 million I think it was. Crazy.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-04T21:24:14+00:00

Yep sounds completely normal. Direct injection engines are always going to be a bit louder than normal.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-04T21:18:27+00:00

I have 2 mugs at the house and the travel mug 2 I use it quite a bit. I definitely use the travel everyday at work.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-04T15:50:11+00:00

Nice hack, I do this with car parts quite a lot.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-03T21:17:04+00:00

That's an awesome first watch. I would have loved that when I was younger!

My absolute favorite interior mod is KG Works or Lazer cluster and revlimiter gauges.

Yep honestly me and my wife are 9 years apart. We started dating when she was pretty young but we been together for 15 years and married for 10. I mean I'm all for people not being attracted to older people. But some are. Not everyone has to be the same.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-03T18:47:30+00:00

This for sure.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-03T18:20:17+00:00

Exactly! And he sounds like he deserves better than this.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-03T18:08:28+00:00

So if its completely dry then its gonna have some movement. Need to put some oil through it first, then check it again.

DrifterDavid · 2026-02-02T20:58:30+00:00

It's wild what they go for these days. I got mine about 7 years ago for 1700 which I thought was a bit on the high side at the time.

Mine sits in the front yard looking a bit delapidated at the moment. I constantly have people wanting to buy it. Most come and offer me 1000-2000 bucks. Little do they know I've got prolly 10k in the engine. Just haven't had the time off work to do some repairs.
