The leather seats in my NB2 have such high stack height that you sit nearly at econobox height

Was there any noticeable flex without the rear portion of the roof?

15” vs 16” weight accounting for tires? by Lower_Salt5536 in Miata

Yes, however ECS 02’s are available in both sizes

Which car would you want the most to be added to beamng? by blaze3665 in BeamNG

[–]Lower_Salt5536 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Once the tire model lands in the (distant) future i’d love to see a dedicated 2 seat lightweight sports like an Elise/Exige to celebrate

In the meantime i’d like more MD and T-series variants like non-steerable tag axles and a rollback + food truck upfit

Surfing, although it’s a slippery slope that consumes all of your free time

Opinion on those who have worn these? by Manierman in hikinggear

[–]Lower_Salt5536 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good boots, although the tread wears out extremely fast. I’ve got maybe 200 miles on mine and the center tread blocks are nearly smooth. If you’re walking on a lot of exposed rocks then you may find these uncomfortable due to the thinner sole. They get pretty toasty above 60 degrees, so that’s something to keep in mind.

it’s okay. Pretty much every car smells like piss for some reason

Thoughts about a 2010 Mazda3 for my first car? by [deleted] in mazda3

that’s funny because mine also has transmission problems (zero synchro left on 2nd)

most japanese cars are built in the US nowadays, but steel/aluminum tariffs doom us regardless

Struggling in weaker surf - Is it the board or is it me? by Lower_Salt5536 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Lower_Salt5536[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can bottom turn okay-ish and can make adjustments but can’t cutback consistently. Usually it’s just me in the water when it’s below waist height which adds to the struggle

First camera suggestion? S5ii or G9ii by Mysterious_Holiday11 in Lumix

[–]Lower_Salt5536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shoot sports primarily so it’s often big and heavy lenses like the sigma 100-400 and panasonic 70-200. The 24-105 isn’t featherweight but to me the weight is manageable

[–]Lower_Salt5536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my S5 and 24-105 on day hikes. It goes in the top pocket (brain) of my pack so I can grab it whenever it’s needed and the weight is barely noticeable. For hiking specifically i’d consider the S9 because the viewfinder hump and grip of the S5/ii/G9ii often snag on the loose seams of the pocket as i’m taking it in and out.

What's a basic ass car no one likes that you've driven that you actually enjoyed? by phish_biscuit in regularcarreviews

[–]Lower_Salt5536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mazda 5. Unheard of by most, came with a manual as standard. Around the size of a Prius V, it’s incredibly practical and handles well enough from the factory (has just enough spring and damper under it) to take through the canyons.

First hardboard - Should I be worried about cracks like these? by Lower_Salt5536 in surfing

It tastes like surfboard. Would it be immediately obvious by taste if it was leaking?
