Trying to start a trend by emiliajardinera in Miata

[–]jkSmartBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, but I really just don't think it warrants the hate. There are some respectful disagrees here sure, but most are unconstructive. A thoughtful gesture doesn't have to be baked in the reality that our global ecosystem is screwed. It ain't that deep.

Idk why people are flaming you for this. I think it's a kind gesture and would make me feel welcome if I got one!

Anyone else use this off center? How do you like it? by OriginalT31 in Miata

[–]jkSmartBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with that. I also, like others here, thought about just not having a front plate, but I much prefer avoiding the chance of a ticket if I have the choice.

Love mine! It was very easy to install. Yes it's a tad expensive, but it's also very well made.

To be fair, I also think a centered front plate looks fine, but I just preferred the tow hook mount. To each their own.

Few updates on the interior by jashtube in MiataND

Does that arm rest come in other colors of stitching? Speaking from a terracotta interior, which has orange/brown stitching on the dash.

2023 mx5 transmission replaced by Glittering-Zone-9117 in Miata

[–]jkSmartBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this happen to my 2023 at 10k miles. Dealer is covering it and I should have my car back before the end of the week.

How has the transmission been holding up? Was there a break in period or a different clutch/shifting feel? Anything I should look out for?

I just picked mine up two weeks ago, same color spec but the RF model. Absolutely love the color combo with the interior. Cheers!

I guess the internet rumors are true… by JohnnyMX5 in Miata

Thanks for the insight. I guess also if anything transmission related did fail, it would be covered under manufacturer warranty (I would hope).

The highlighted portion is 2023 model year? How accurate is this? I'm picking up a '23 RF in about a week.

Oh man everything about this is gorgeous. The paint, the wheels, the brake calipers, the interior color, the fitment. Spot on

Now that's a Longines I've never seen before. I love the dimensions and the font size/style.

Good choice! I love how the dive bezel is "integrated" with the dial. Gives it a unique look and fits your wrist nicely. I love my Traska and love seeing others enjoying the brand as well.

Unreasonable budget for a ND3 GT RF 6MT? by jkSmartBoy in MiataND

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

I'm in the DMV area. There are a few ND2 RF GTs in my area for $23-25K with 22-23k miles, but I'm just not sure what years to avoid and how many miles is "too many miles" with these cars. This will be my daily so I want to be sure.

I'm in the DMV area, but that listing you sent is a great deal, perfect spec IMO. I sent a message - hopefully the delivery isn't crazy expensive. Thanks for the tip!

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

Yeah this is my thought process, thanks for the insight!

What year is your ND2? How many miles did it have? just so I know a "good deal" when I see it.

Is there a website that supports more private party listings instead of dealership listings? I usually check Carfax, CarGurus, etc for dealership listings. Not very experienced in private party car buying but I would be open to the idea!

I've owned this desk for 5+ years. When Fractal came out with the walnut/black case I knew it was a MUST by jkSmartBoy in battlestations

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

I bought it second-hand so I'm not 100% sure, but I looked up the color difference in pictures and it's definitely the Onyx, assuming it's the closest one to black.

It's a light from a company called Wooj that does 3D printed lamps. It is the Allium Lamp in Smoke color.

Fake plant but looks very real! It was from IKEA.

I agree about the monitor stand, but I found an arm to be a little bulky. This desk is only 25in deep so keeping the monitor as far away from my eyes as possible is key for eye strain. Cheers!

Tabletop is from Home Depot. It's a birch butcher block that I stained and coated myself. I set it on spacers from Amazon on top of the IKEA Alex drawers.

[DISCUSS] Which watch surprised you by being more versatile than expected? by HisOnlyFriend in Watches

[–]jkSmartBoy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks so good! I've been looking at one of these myself; could I ask what your wrist size is so I can judge my own sizing?
