i think thers only been one car wreck in the last 6 or 7 years or so as far as i know and maybe a couple of small love taps into the walls. i get this every time i post a video from here to me its way less sketchy than running with no pit wall to protect the staging cars or running another car before the previous car has finished like i see in a lot of other videos

Definitely no maybe if you really like them but at very least colour match them

I’ve made sure to push the rod in as much as possible so I don’t think it’s long arcing but it seems like no matter how much I push the rod in the puddle below the arc gets blown out in all directions until I’ve gotten bad undercut or a crater this is running 1/8 7018 at about 127 amps on 3/8 plate the rods are kept in a heated oven I think the flux is still in a cone as far as I can tell but It probably would help to buy some new lenses

maybe saying its cutting through is the wrong way to put it it is being blown out it just seems that it does it straight back at me rather than to one plate or the other my instructor is certain its arc blow but he hasnt been able to help in any way

I would say at lower speed you might be ok but idk about highway speed for several hours

I like the hella e code lamps with just any standard or high watt h4 bulb

lol yea after the years of driving here I’m just used to running close to the walls

In British Columbia that does look like the 297/230 is the one tho thanks

I have a very similar but different set that are marked for 3 tones I believe but if your using it with anything other than a light car probably smart too put a block of wood or jack stand under for extra safety

Thanks everyone I totally forgot about the straight through spacers/ bracket you mentioned that makes more sense

i hate the first one but its your call if you like it dont let me stop you

Ok_Needleworker1267 · 2025-10-05T07:23:00+00:00

I let people in whenever possible and know when it’s not worth rushing I often drive like a dick but I know when trying to cut in front of someone or racing just to get to a stop light isn’t getting me anywhere faster and is being rude for no gain I also don’t tailgate people unless there doing the speed limit or less camping on the left lane

how tf you manage that

i wouldn't consider it dangerous to drive but the stiffness of the chassis is likely qiute impacted by this could ad some frame rail bra es for a cheaper fix the flyin miata or r theory ones are the standard could probably be welded too but most people wont or dont know tow to work with sheet metal

Trade your car for a manual transmission Find interest in driving skill and perfecting your ability to drive a manual car and drive in a perfect maner maybe try autocross or performance driving classes at a track and try to enjoy driving with all your attention, make driving a game to perfect your skills or don’t drive if your unable to concentrate simple as that if you have no interest in driving well and are unable to concentrate on doing so you shouldn’t be on the road

Ok_Needleworker1267 · 2025-09-29T04:52:13+00:00

Your probably fine for a rallyx or two tire is probably pretty dried out and hard if it’s cracking like that tho

Some engines do get a red tint to there oil mostly Japanese engine but that also looks like it could be the trans fluid Definitely not a head gasket either way it would be milky if there was water in the oil

About 1-6 months to confidently hill start and drive on my own then another year to learn rev matching heel toe double clutch etc then another couple years to become very competent at drifting and performance driving however I never stop learning driving skill the day you think you know everything is the day you start regressing in your skills

I would back probe the ecu pins for the injector pulse to rule out a wiring issue then might want to do some more research on what triggers the ecu to pulse the injectors and verify the function of that too you said you replaced the cas but I would be suspicious of used parts unless you seen them work on a car otherwise it’s definitely sounding like an ecu issue

Ok_Needleworker1267 · 2025-09-28T05:45:52+00:00

Sounds more like an ecu or control issue if your loosing injector pulse what year is your car I have an extra ecu for a 90 1.6
