"Honey Badger" Miata: Turbo Track Build (new brakes installed) - Page 185 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

CleanNeon98 · 05-24-2011, 11:53 AM

Started my new job at Perruzi GMC and Buick yesterday. I haven't seen the shop yet but apparently they have an awesome Roadforce alignment machine or something and they can dial in custom specs, and it's very reasonable pricing. I can even have them adjust it after the alignment to get it just right. And I won't have to wait weeks to do it.

Just looked and its a Hunter DSP-400 rack.

Miatas are gay, especially functional ones

CleanNeon98 · 05-30-2011, 06:16 PM

Less than 1k on the tires, they still had the little flames on them. Worse yet, they are backordered everywhere until about 6/14/11. Oy!

Meantime, the car is sitting in my driveway with a donut on.

Ridachu · 05-30-2011, 07:30 PM

anyways lemme guess...u didnt buy the road hazard warrenty

CleanNeon98 · 05-30-2011, 07:36 PM

Course not.

disturbedfan121 · 05-30-2011, 08:07 PM

sent him a text, waiting for his response i'll post when i hear back from him, he usually hooks me up so it might be cheaper than retail

CleanNeon98 · 05-31-2011, 12:43 AM

Thanks man!

Ridachu · 05-31-2011, 12:51 AM

its a shame hankook cant keep up with the demand, pep boys as a whole are dropping them because....because theyre all gone lol

CleanNeon98 · 05-31-2011, 10:22 AM

Got a call back from a semi-local vendor who had a few left, should have it tomorrow or thursday and can avoid the 2+ week wait.

OBEEWON · 06-01-2011, 08:32 AM

I can plug it.

CleanNeon98 · 06-01-2011, 09:33 AM

Thats a dangerously.close area to sidewall to plug. I already put out 130 for a tire, beats a blowout and putting out money for insurance deductible if the car eats **** as a result.

CleanNeon98 · 06-01-2011, 07:12 PM

Tire is here getting that sorted tomorrow. Then its Riceday Friday! Getting it aligned, intake installed, as well as having a shop put my old downpipe back together and in the car.

CleanNeon98 · 06-02-2011, 09:43 AM

It never ends. When the tire was being removed the lip started to flake paint hard. Now I need to find a way to touch them up. Where can I find nail laquer that color?

CleanNeon98 · 06-03-2011, 11:28 AM

Wheels are being replaced with a new set with proper finish, meanwhile took it for alignment and they couldn't get the specs I wanted, camber is like this

-1.2 -2.6

-2.0 -1.2

Need to re-think

DC2-Chris · 06-03-2011, 06:41 PM

uh thats pretty out of wack lol. dont they make a camber kit for these cars? that would help lolz

Honduh · 06-04-2011, 12:01 PM

How do the bushings look?

fitftw · 06-04-2011, 02:24 PM

how the **** did you get a nail in your sidewall?
