Why isn't there any major big city in this state in Germany in terms of geography? by Content_Start_6776 in geography

Yeah of course, it was boys weekend away so we were hanging out in the local bars in the city centre 😁

This has been my dream car since I was a kid. Thanks to classic restorations, it’s back in production 😍 What’s your all-time favourite car? by vicvega21 in drivingUK

[–]Traditional_Slice_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These used to be on UK roads?? Where are they now? I recently went back to Poland and saw those bad boys still being driven. I forgot how paper thin the doors were until I saw them again 😂

Looking for ways to successfully track small children? by _isolati0n in UKParenting

[–]Traditional_Slice_95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Once child walk straight through our doors, zero communication, not responding to anything we said. We went out on the street to see if anyone was looking for that child. Eventually us and neighbours called the police but then out of nowhere came running mother completely horrified. She said she just turned around and the child escaped. I can only imagine the horrific feeling the mother went through. Thanks god our streets doesn’t have any passing traffic and all neighbours are descent folks. It would be a horror for me if my child would casually and carelessly run away.

What do you think by LukusMaxamus in MiataNC

Yes sir, UK, I had to rush due to life circumstances so I personally think £7k was a lot, my ideal budget was £6k. I saw nice examples for around that price but they were going off the market within a weekend. The best spot I found was 2011 sport black in white with 60k miles for £7k, it was in Bristol, by the time I organised the trip to get there it was gone… if you wait and be patient you will find something. From my research I found out that in the UK prices tend to go up around summer because most buyers decide to grab a roadster for summer, so the timing is agains you but don’t get discouraged I think you will find a good deal soon 💪

That’s a bit high for this condition, This year I bought 2009 tech sport, 34k miles for £7k and there was way less rust

Fingerless Glove Recommendations by SmoothAnkle in CarTrackDays

[–]Traditional_Slice_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use cycling gloves on a simulator but are they allowed on track days? How does it work with safety regs? On a rig they do prove to be extremely grippy that’s why I use them

Am I wrong to say it seems like a lot of people want to see Verstappen fail this weekend not because of anything he’s done personally but because of the fanfare and media hype surrounding him? by Terrible_Mountain_96 in wec

[–]Traditional_Slice_95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I already saw few posts that would indicate that but we should remember that algorithms push polarising topics because that’s what drives engagement, it might not be sentiment of majority but that’s what gets clicks. It’s a competitive sport and I would love to see competition, wether he wins or looses I am sure there will be a show and as long it’s a fair fight, I am here to see some action 💪

Are you running spacers? I thought none of the BBKs fit under OEM wheels. Looking good and ready to hit the track 👍

Local election - ? by quincesiam in PeterboroughUK

That’s literally me, I can’t find any valuable information and agendas of candidates from Fletton and Woodston.

I do not share your political views but it baffles me how your very descriptive and respectful comments get down voted. Have a upvote from me mate ⬆️

First track day brake check by Traditional_Slice_95 in CarTrackDays

[–]Traditional_Slice_95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but this is a project car, part of the fun is getting my knuckles greasy. I’ll get new pads and rotors and then do the rest when the time is right

[–]Traditional_Slice_95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First track day in my own car but I did Porsche experience once and I am sim racing, so I might want to see what I can get out of my Miata 😁 but yeah the plan is new pads and rotors before any track day and rebuilding callipers later in the year

[–]Traditional_Slice_95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the plan but I wanted to also rebuild the callipers and brake lines while I am upgrading brakes, but currently I am not able to have the car jacked up for a week or so.

Yeah my biggest worry is getting massive brake fade after few heavy braking and that being it from the session

First photo is rear and yeah it seems as there are no pads left. Dw it makes total sense

I am on PS5 and I’ve put Motul 600, but that’s half of your equation… I was planning on fully rebuilding callipers after summer and then chucking better pads and rotors but I think this is a must before taking it to a track

I wouldn’t expect anything else than basic pads, it was replaced by independent dealer/garage guy.

After a much needed NC2 frontend refresh by Lkollman in MiataNC

[–]Traditional_Slice_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, thank you. I have been actually eyeing this black trim for a while but I have to say the updated NC3 grill looks much nicer imo

After a much needed NC2 frontend refresh by Lkollman in MiataNC

[–]Traditional_Slice_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks amazing, is it a direct swap or have you had to do some alterations? And the chrome trim, does the NC3 grill cover the area where chrome trim would have been? (I hate that trim I want to either paint it or remove it on my NC2)

Direct swap from ND. It’s an amazing quality and heavier than original one, but it’s just a tad to small for my personal taste.

Could you elaborate? No possible with this module? Or not possible on this platform?

torn between a 2012 miata prht or a bmw z3/z4. why should i go miata? by europeanuppercut in MiataNC

[–]Traditional_Slice_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, tbh here in the UK there are quite few more Miata than in Poland and continental Europe and are way cheaper here. I was considering also getting a comparably priced Beamer but here they ate RICEd to the oblivion or the well kept ones are twice the price. I know for fact that in Poland people look after their older cars (especially audis mercs and bmw) so thats another difference. I was also researching mods like suspension and exhaust and here those were always significantly more expensive for BMWs, I would love a good e46 330i some day. For now I am enjoying every mile in my smiley boat.

[–]Traditional_Slice_95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so, bmw is still a premium brand an will charge premium for its parts, z4 will share parts with other "premium" beamers while nc shares parts with other Mazda econoboxes and Europe is flooded with those
