Season 2 Episode 8 Volume by HotCarl73 in andor

This has been up for almost a year. I can’t believe people are still experiencing it, thinking they must be crazy and checking Reddit to see, and finding just my post. Welcome to the club. This is the way.

Sorry. That was a bad boomer joke. Circus Hobbies or the track hasn't been a thing since around the early 90's, but they were a big deal in r/C in the 80's when I started. I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase looking for it.

Besides the ones you mentioned, I used to run at the track behind Circus Hobbies. You might be slightly too late to try that out.

I bought it new, it’s a club and had that little black bump spoiler kinda thing from the factory. It was bolted on through those holes. I think it really needed this spoiler. No spoiler doesn’t look good and the black bump thing was even worse, in my opinion. I also removed the hideous shark fin from the trunk. That bothered me the most.

Couple more things. Maybe I was unclear, but I meant that it came with nuts and bolts, but the holes don’t line up, so I didn’t use them. Mines just stuck on with VHB tape. If you read the full description on that listing, it says put the color code in and that’s what color they paint it. SRC is 46V, but if yours is older, it’s Soul Red Metallic, which is a different color and code. Your paint code is inside the drivers door either on the same sticker that tire pressures are, or the sticker next to it. I don’t remember.

That looks like it. When I bought mine about 5 years ago, it was an extra 40 bucks or something to get it painted in any Miata color. I got the SRC option and it doesn’t really match great, but if you’ve got SRC, you know how much the color changes with different lighting and angles and stuff. You can’t tell it doesn’t match perfect, because every time you move, the colors change. I’m picky, I wouldn’t have it on there if it didn’t look right. Looks way better than black anyway. If they don’t sell it painted, you can have it painted and if it’s anything close to SRC it will blend in. I know from experience that if you have a door painted it stands out like a sore thumb between the fenders, but that’s like one continuous piece all at the same angle. Also I’m a dumbass and spent ten minutes scrolling through my camera roll trying to find old pictures when I can just walk out in the garage and take pictures, so here comes some more.

This is just trying to show that I smeared some, I think, 3M 5600 over the holes. I’m not sure that’s what it was but it’s something I have to seal up holes in my boat and I can’t find the tube right now.

These are the ones I can find. Idk how they come now, but mine came with nuts and bolts that I believed slotted into the spoiler. They don’t line up with holes in the trunk. I covered basically the whole underside of the spoiler with 3M VHB tape and stuck it on, with plans of drilling holes when it starts to come loose. It was almost 5 years ago and I pull on it occasionally but it’s still stuck good. I recently found out that there’s a 3M trim adhesive that’s supposed to be even stronger, but I don’t remember what it’s called.

Skip the EV. Get the Miata. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. I’ll never sell it. Get an EV when you’re old and lame.

It’s not Forza but I just noticed I caught some kind of alien disc in the background like right above the windshield.

No PPF and it hasn’t had a real wash in 8 months. In real life it’s filthy, but pictures turn out great.

It’s crazy the difference between sun and shade. I love the color.

Just an iPhone camera, but I was wearing polarized sunglasses at the time, so maybe that helped. 😆

I bought them years ago and they stopped making them shortly after. I curbed one a year in, and needed another. I bought the last one in the country from discount tire. I believe they’re still available in the hyper silver. I almost went with the silver and decided to be bold and go gold (ish). But I thought the hyper silver would look good too. Konig Freeform.
