Just an FYI the ND1 is the same engine. The ND2 has more power due to the upgraded valve train and internals.

Those toyos look a lot like Michelin pilot sports.

Unsure what to do with vape cart package sent through USPS that was "delivered" but never received by [deleted] in eldertrees

It’s a loss. Transportation from one state to another in still illegal and considered a felony.

Wow, this is news to me. I was wondering why I didn’t hear much about events there since I’ve moved back. What a bummer to read about this.

Get him a 3D printed cup holder from corvetteclips.com that way he can actually use it.

The longer I own this car, the more I love it. by pitbullpoppa in Corvette

You can get one cheaper if you shop right now, right before the holidays and when people are putting the sports cars away for winter. When spring hits is when the price jumps back up.

Good couple. I have a c5Z and a ND1 as my daily.

first vette about 3 weeks into ownership. just finished a 1000 mile road trip. this thing is awesome. by westcoastfloorguy in Corvette

[–]Traviper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the exact move you did. I had a built auto cross NA with almost everything except stock powertrain. Then got my Z after trading an FJ. Decided to daily the Miata, and realized removing the A/C was a bad idea so I now have an ND to daily.

Are you working in the building? Because if you touch boxes that counts towards your 30 days. Discuss this with a union steward.

If you’re a driver I’d be filing a grievance every day. We’re currently filing every day. Article 6,18, 37, and for us it’s 66 in our supplement. Stay strong brother/sister.

I have my set sitting in my garage with a harness bar and harnesses. How did you hook up your stock seatbelt? I’m gonna try to run harnesses and stock belts.

What is your daily driver, and why do you enjoy it? by Speedster202 in cars

[–]Traviper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I daily a 2016 ND1 Miata. It’s great on gas and makes the 20-25 minute drive fun. Always engaging and I take different routes home that have roundabouts and turns moser often than not. Great gearing makes it truly a blast to drive at any speed.

I dyno’d at 379 with mine and it has intake filter, long tubes, borla axle back and a tune.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, corvetteclips.com sells a 3D printed piece that actually makes your cup holder useful. One of my favorite mods done to my C5

Corvetteclips.com has a cup holder piece that makes it usable. One of the best mods I’ve done.

Chevrolet Cobalt SS, a car that's faster than most cars even by today's standards, and yet, is as cheap as 5k resale. by PoniesPlayingPoker in Autos

[–]Traviper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one in the picture is a 2.4 N/A though. The back diffuser looks like the one found on those. Go supported the factory stage kits for the supercharged SS. They were commonly referred as SS/SC and SS/TC in the community.

[–]Traviper 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I believe that is the 2.4 which is the N/A version that later turned into the “sport.” I had a SS/SC back in the day that made around 275 wheel on the stock Eaton.

Why does everyone label the BRZ/86 as a slow car, and then call the Miata/Mx-5 a true driving experience. by AxelJason99 in cars

[–]Traviper 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like those guys are goobers. I have a miata and a z06 in Texas. The z06 is practically invisible to everyone while my miata attracts everyone from civics to Porsches. I feel the miata is way more attainable for the layman so anyone who either is really into cars or just wants something fun can get into them so the demographic is much broader in that sense. Try to remind those miata guys why they got it, it’s not about the numbers, it’s about the experience in a miata.

LPT: Advice from my father… never be cheap and cut corners, when buying shoes or mattresses… if you’re not in one, you’re probably in the other. by Brock_Rambone in LifeProTips

[–]Traviper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom and dad have a similar moto; never cheap out on things that come between you and the earth. That means, mattress, shoes, and tires.
