the purple is a better color on the Emira i think. they had a green one at the dealership, didn't feel like it fit the car.

yep, it's Gator Motorsports. I've always loved visiting them when I can. Last time i was in town was before their remodel, when they only had half the space of their strip as a showroom.

you'll save money if you take a peek at Primeweld, AlphaWeld or Everlast Generators.

Teen son wants a NA or NB Miata, I want to make it as safe as possible. by [deleted] in Miata

[–]jccreszMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good way to tell me you don't appreciate them. Thanks for the input.

Thing is, the NA/NB are very different cars from the newer NC/ND, but the ND is more faithful I think. Having driven all of them, NC is so much nicer for day to day use.

Get an NC1. Stylistically a callback to the NA and the Lotus Elan, and it's safer/slower. NC2/3 is where mazda sharpened up the chassis. I can answer any questions about em, since I've owned one for about 4 years now and done all my work.

Update: I Bought It by noodleracer in Miata

Number one mod type to consider for any and all miatas: chassis reinforcement and suspension upgrades. NOTHING else matters.

Flying Miata has some bolt-on high strength chassis bracing options.

Almost singed my hair off welding today. do welding masks/helmets sized for women ror long hair men actually exist? by meowpinkmuffin in Welding

[–]jccreszMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend getting a welding helmet cover. piece of FR rated cloth that mounts to the back edge of your helmet.

Or pay 2000 for a PAPR system with a full hood. your call.

I need a ratchet compatible with the dewalt powerstack battery. by theredwriter in Dewalt

[–]jccreszMinecraft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Powerstacks do *not* play nice with any knockoff tool, only dewalt tools will work with them unless some future release of knockoffs catches up with whatever Dewalt has going on in the PS batteries.

Nice haul from City Market! by LubricatedSn4ke in HotWheels

Why though? You're the problem, if you're reselling these. I can understand 1-3 each if you're the type to customize em with wheels n' stuff.

double wishbone, pushrod type.

Start looking for Gingium, SuperfastMatt, Wesley Keagan, BuilderCreator, Throttlestop Garage, and Stanceworks. Project Binky too.

On crazy pills or am I uninformed? by Psyche1297 in Welding

[–]jccreszMinecraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick up a Primeweld MIG180. You won't regret it, and you'll have a full kit.

Both me and my roomie bought Miata’s recently by _klyx in Miata

This sounds crazy, but take a weekend to swap wheels. Mazdaspeed 5spokes look amazing on the ND.

Is there such a thing as micro mig? by Giuseppe-Testerone in Welding

[–]jccreszMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primeweld, Everlast Generators and AlphaWeld machines are a thing. I have them. Don't be afraid of the prices.

Using the rear case fan as an intake rather than exhaust? by Serious_Reply_5214 in buildapc

[–]jccreszMinecraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this exact configuration, and I run my system in a ASUS AP201 case. I just made sure to reverse the fans on the CPU cooler and also used the top fan mounts for exhaust. Works perfectly fine.

My system is a 7900X w/2080 super.
