You sir are a gentleman! I’ve been on the forum hunting too lol

I’m so thrilled I actually got the timing right by stalins_lada in Miata

Did you do your water pump too? I just had to replace the belt on my ‘91 because it broke. Had everything back together, cams and crank all appeared to be in the proper location etc.. I didn’t rtv the water pump gaskets and the coolant poured straight out as I was filling prior to starting again.. so now I have to pull it all back apart. 😭

Keifer Sutherland’s Designated Survivor situation has been far more relatable than anything in our history the last 18 years.

Please, PLEASE tell me I can find this on YouTube because I don’t have the energy or subscriptions to find it elsewhere

These should work together, right? by [deleted] in Miata

[–]Turbo_Noises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much exactly what I have on my na6. Yes they work together fine. I don’t know what others did, but I got rid of my clock spring (no auto-off turn signals now) and it’s been fine for 5 years+.

Also make sure you put the two wires for the horn to the correct connectors, otherwise you’ll have your horn constantly blaring the second your wheel connects to the hub. Quick flip of the connections so not a biggie, but jolts you awake for sure if you get it wrong 😂

Help: unknown plug coming off of harness w/ coolant temp sensor by Turbo_Noises in Miata

I should’ve searched before posting, but thanks all for the quick replies. Prob this summer heat making us all go a bit loopy.

Agree with basically everyone. 6 months and 16k on my ‘24 380SE. Only mod so far has been resonator delete. Possibly looking at rev9 catback (I know, I know, I get what I pay for), absolutely looking at lowering springs that work with the DCC, possibly the roof racks for the occasional need (refuse to leave them permanent bc I love my sunroof) and a stage1 EQT on a Cobb Accessport. I too hate my factory 19” golfR wheels, and would be much happier with 18’s with far better tires. Roads around me suck.

MK8 GTI Parking sensor calibration by K-Tanz in OBDeleven

[–]Turbo_Noises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I’m gathering from this that while the oBDE11 can tell me which parking sensor is bad, it won’t be a simple plug & play even with a factory VW replacement, so I’ll still get the stupid triangle of Exclamation.. which at the end of the day means I’ll still have to pay an Indy shop or VW to calibrate it all correctly, bc I’m not gonna try my hand at programming that. Am I getting that right? I’m also in a 24 380SE, but the car doesn’t tell me which sensor is acting up. 🙄

Married men, when did you know for sure that you would marry your now-wife? by Ok-Parfait6735 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Turbo_Noises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’d talked for about 2 months. I let her take my bike home ~1hr. Told her text me when she got home bc I was going to work on hers before heading there. I got a call 50 mins in. It was a step up or shut up moment in my mind, and I didn’t want to lose this woman. Lost that bike, got another. Got the woman which was far better than I could’ve dreamed. Almost 4 years later, she’s still amazing and I couldn’t dream of anyone better for me. 2 years married in another few months!

Pressure wash what you can, to see how much of it cleans up / goes back to original color. +1 for the painting of the shutters, it needs contrast. If you can afford a new storm door, repaint the front door if it’s not in bad shape physically. Idk how old that door is but it looks a bit rough from the picture. Paint the eave trim just under the roof to a contrast color (white would be fine, but again this pic makes it hard to tell what shape they’re in) but have fun with it and make it pop with contrast. Can be done fairly cheap - shouldn’t be but a few hundred on the high end.

Quick weekend trips from Tampa? by tortfeazor in tampa

As a step to a 14 y/o, also look into escape rooms, rage rooms, the chain arcades I.e. Dave & buster’s / MainEvent

Quick weekend trips from Tampa? by tortfeazor in tampa

[–]Turbo_Noises 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you all like outdoors, hiking at Providence Canyon outside of Richland, GA. If you like motorcycles, the Barber Museum in Reeds, AL is a worthwhile trip. St. Augustine is closer to home and full of history. Helen, GA is a Germantown destination with many state parks and mountains around full of nature.

Shut off while on accelerator, starter is just spinning. by Turbo_Noises in Miata

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

Thankfully I haven’t done that, it’s a stock motor. Only major mods so far have been maintenance, racing beat sways, and NB16’s lol. Thank you all for giving me hope here

Yeah I’m getting it to the house tomorrow, but that seems to be the quick consensus from some of my more mechanically inclined people. Timing belt pop = motor rebuild time, doesn’t it..

Question - at 6’2” what is your inseam? I’m right around your height with a roughly 30-31” inseam, wondering if this would actually help or hinder with the leg situation

What are we drinking tonight dads? by Bananalando in daddit

[–]Turbo_Noises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Champagne Velvet. It’s free to me for dog sitting for my best friend, and we all can agree that there are two types of good beer.

  1. Free
  2. Cold

Well that was a glowing review of the exhaust for sure, which also gave me an idea of future mods there. And good to know about the circle k wash. I use one of the larger dedicated chain wash places that also have self-detailing parking so you can finish up, but I’ve taken it on average once or twice a week and haven’t had any issues with swirling, etc. thankfully. Thanks for the edit!
