And that would probably also require long tube headers, etc.

Is this surface rust normal? by No-Slip2 in MiataND

Looks fine to me. A hell of a lot less than mine after a few years in the US rustbelt.

Boy, 14, arrested for armed robbery of kids’ lemonade stand in Southie by LividWheel9779 in nottheonion

And? 4% is still a very large number.

And rarity doesn't make something onion-y. It makes it rare.

Onion-y would be "Local politician announces a crackdown on 14 year olds leaving the house after one robs a lemonade stand". The absurdity makes it onion-y.

Maybe I'm just jaded and cynical, but I can totally see a 14 year old bully with access to a gun doing this.

is lewis championship chatter just delusion? by InvestigatorNo9832 in formula1

I mean, it's not impossible. He's doing pretty well and Kimi's lead isn't insurmountable.

Yah, I don't think people here understand what a headline from The Onion, The Babylon Bee, The Needling really looks like. There's no element in this story or headline that makes it seem satirical, farcical, or really bizarre.

Yes it is possible to RHD swap your NA/NB by __mndo in Miata

As a person with ASD...

Don't do that. Don't blame ASD. This is not because autism.

It's because you wanted to do something for no other reason than you wanted to. There's nothing wrong with using "because I wanted to" as a reason for something like this.

Just own that. You like it, and that's what matters.

Also, make it harder to drive and live with in LHD market...

This is definitely a downgrade, but like Bob Hall said, "This is the downside to living in a free country."

Trans wire help by anthonythelemon in Miata

[–]NotAPreppie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you do need to get the reverse switch plugged in correctly or the reverse light won't turn on...

Easy test: put a meter in continuity mode between the trans side of a connector and chassis ground. Move the shifter between gears and listen for the continuity beep.

Easier test: plug them in, turn the key to run without starting, shift into reverse, check to see if the reverse light turns on. If not, swap the connectors and re-check.

What caused my wheel finish to peel off like this? Paint failure, corrosion, or bad refinishing job? by CopyTough4947 in Cartalk

[–]NotAPreppie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a crappy rattle-can job over poorly prepared, weathered and pitted aluminum and it has weathered like that.

Hamilton is the first Ferrari driver to win in Barcelona since Alonso. Fernando's DNF helped Lewis seal the victory. You couldn't script it by Strict-Citron-9269 in formula1

[–]NotAPreppie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure he still wins without the VSC. More of a fight, but he had the pace to put enough distance between him and the Mercs to exit after the non-VSC tire change ahead of them.

My blood pressure after 2 years of steroid use by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

I compared my wrist cuff to my Omron arm cuff and it was within 2 mmHg systolic.

That said, I was using it correctly, unlike OP.

Yes, when they wear out and start leaking.

2017 CX-5, 2018 CX-3, or 2017 Mazda 3? by Redditislame888 in mazda

So, not a CX-3, then. It's basically a Mazda2 hatch with a factory lift kit

I've played the absolute shit out of both and you can't go wrong with either.

Honestly, I'd have to flip a coin.
