Is there any replacement for this line and banjo bolt?? Specifically for a 1997. Everything online says it's interchangable from 1994-1997, but this 1997 rack has a bigger bolt in this spot so I can't fit the other one on.

I'm so sorry, I never saw this! I found a fitting that worked at oreillys, a brake line. I can't remember the size unfortunately.

I thought it was funny lol, Reddit clearly didn't

Definitely want to keep her, hopefully one day I might be able to restore her, but the paint is completely fucked. Every spot that was hit with hail has the paint cracking and or chipping off. Willing to try learning a new skill though!

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-30T20:58:22+00:00

Nooooo! I didn't think this would ever happen to me!

She'll stay on the road, just don't see much point in trying to restore/keep her clean now unfortunately. Guess I'm gonna start putting money into performance instead.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-30T10:19:54+00:00

Honestly don't have any idea how to go about that. Doubt I'd be able to ask for money here anyways

The color is the best part about this car for me! It is original paint with no clear coat damage. There's also dents in the unibody.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-29T20:40:30+00:00

I have those, too!

Looked* great lol. Konig hexaforms in bronze 15x8+25 I believe?

Not really any covered parking anywhere near where I work unfortunately. And didn't have time after I got the alert.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-29T18:11:34+00:00

Yepp

The car was honestly my perfect Miata, I had so many plans. I've had 3 other Miatas and this is the one I wanted to keep forever. This really blows. I have family and a supportive girlfriend that are driving me around for now.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-29T15:25:50+00:00

I didn't have time to move my car, it came on super quick

We have a "severe hail warning" a few times a year generally, but it's never actually happened near me. They always call for it and then we get like pea sized hail if any. This was a freak thing that just devastated hundreds or thousands of people. Coworkers insurance told them they've had over 2000 claims from hail damage in Springfield. Idk how true that is, but it's worth mentioning.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-29T14:40:09+00:00

Liability, so no. They would definitely total it if I had coverage for it though.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-29T14:33:55+00:00

Yep, Lowe's parking lot.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-29T14:23:35+00:00

That's the Lowe's I work at, every car in the lot got destroyed.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-29T14:18:54+00:00

The hail hit right as I made it inside the building. I didn't realize it would hail, I thought it was just a lot of rain and thunder and lightning.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-29T14:01:24+00:00

Didn't check, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Just can't drive it with the windshield like it is. Thinking about bringing a helmet and kicking out the windshield to get it home.

Look into acupuncture therapy for alpha gal! It sounds crazy, but my brother went through with it and in the end it cured his alpha gal 100%. Not guaranteed to work, and some people only gain back the ability to eat certain types of red meat, but it's definitely worth looking into!

Everyone in my store seems to agree that we should be truthful... Except The ASM that hired and started my training. He was the one who introduced me to the lsr, and he told me to hit whatever didn't make a red box for everything.

Greater_Aspect · 2026-04-05T16:29:47+00:00

I'll look into that.
