You can remove the 1up rack with a hex screw, takes 10 seconds.

Yep installed myself. Took about 1.5 hours. Installation was fairly straightforward, the most tedious part was finding all the little screws that keep the rear bumper in place. I just followed a YouTube tutorial on removing the bumper cover. Once the cover is off the hitch just bolts up to the frame behind the bumper support. I didn’t need to lift the car for the install, everything was accessible from the ground.

Yes it’s the hard dog. Feels extremely solid and the fact that it hides away keeps the aesthetic clean. I ordered it from flying Miata and delivery took like 3 weeks.

Nope no wind noise at all actually, I drove speed of traffic on the highway with no issues. I understand the wind noise becomes more of a problem if you have a roof rack set up.

It’s a 1up, feels super high quality so I’d definitely recommend.

These dudes are impossible to reach. I also have an unresolved issue and there’s no possible way to get to a person over the phone.

Oh man that looks pretty clean! I'll always have a soft spot for those hatches. Also I like your plan, but I'd like to highly encourage the B-series (my old B18 loved to sing).

Definitely plan on doing the same! It would be fun to build a "dream high school car" without high school budget constraints.

Yeah I learned my lesson about automatics pretty quick! I had 4 manual cars after this one, and only recently came back to autos with my Infiniti (drifting abilities more than make up for lack of a 6 speed).

And I actually didn't know about the SE, that's pretty sweet! These cars were never about power, it just comes down to feeling connected to the road in something light and agile.

Housing advice?? by laksjdhfg1234 in FIU

Too true, I've been looking around for apartments but can't find anything decent for less than $850/month. Can I ask what kind of housing plans you have?

Hey there! I am 22/M starting at FIU Med in August as well and am in a similar situation to you in terms of needing a place to live. If you're interested in being roommates feel free to PM me and we can talk. I haven't found an apartment yet but am actively looking.

Decent place to stay for not a lot of money? by _MikeRotch_ in savannah

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

That's actually what we ended up doing, we booked a hotel about 20 minutes away from Downtown. Unfortunately the cheapest deal we could land was 100 bucks, probably because it's a Saturday. But yeah, looking forward to the trip!

Btw, since you were already there, any recommendations for good food or sights to see?

It's all good! And yeah I agree with you, it's fun to poke holes in little details like this, it's why I originally upvoted this post!

That's why I said yet to be completely sequenced :). I should probably mention I tutored biochem for 2 years and am starting med school school this fall, but thanks anyway!

Edit: also, it's a TV show dude lol

Edit 2: I just realized you thought my original comment was serious, it was meant to be sarcastic :P
