  1. Looking forward to saturday, doing a little prep work on the Miata, maybe it won't slide all over the place this time. http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp133/ND2RACE/2014-06-05175052_zps19d0ca06.jpg Should be all together for Saturday.
  2. Have them chromed and anodized yellow, Black or the shade of Gold Doc's non-CCW wheels are.
  3. I plan on being there early like 8 or shortly there after, always nice to help out with course setup. Not sure there's going to be much of that, but I'm sure you could get there around 9 and still have plenty of time.
  4. My camaro sits for a week or two at a time without issue, and I only put the charger on it for longer periods typically. Sometimes I throw the float charger on it overnight just for extra insurance.
  5. See customers all the time at work with the crap Advance and Autozone batteries less then a year old that I have to replace, not sure if its some places keep them sitting on the shelf too long or what, but I have seen every battery bad at one time or another. Most of them come from the same two battery manufacturers anyway.
  6. I have had a couple, I think they're good batteries you just can't let them get dead. The first few I had warrantied without question as they have a 3 year free replacement warranty, but with a trickle charger I have had zero issue in the last 3-4 years.
  7. Starts at 8, iirc about $35, and no. My car is called speedy like the little cartoon mouse Speedy Gonzales. http://tlloh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/speedy_gonzales.jpg Actually thats been my nickname since I raced karts as a kid, but it fits the Miata better.
  8. Lets see, get dirty watching cars, or go race my damn self? Not a hard decision.
  9. Eh, who wants to go get dirty? The Miata club starts early at 8, but if your not participating you don't need to get there before 10 just to take pics and watch.
  10. Magic 8 ball says "outlook good".
  11. Wagner already started a thread about this.
  12. In for LS1 engine tools assuming it isn't something I already have, more info please.
  13. Well seeing as most of that shit is a waste of money, if the cleaners are any good high concentrations of it will eat at the coating on the inside of the gas tank. Using quality fuel is 10x better then most of the crap sold at auto parts stores.
  14. So just to confirm it's running outside? Sounds like a refridgerent problem. All a run capacitor does is keep an electric motor running, and if I interpret it right your motors are running?
  15. If the battery starts the car fine, then doesn't in the morning it has nothing to do with the alternator. You have a draw somewhere and need to firgure out where. Read this thread http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1656240#post1656240
  16. When did you become the damn trailer king? Stop trading the damn things and get some money so you can stop hoarding little trailers.
  17. Sucking oil into the chambers not only costs power but can cause detonation certainly not something I'd want in a performance engine. If it was some old beater daily without boost it might not be as big a deal.
  18. So what was involved in the 8.8 install? Did you weld in the stock rear tubes to the 8.8 center?
  19. You can certainly tell if the turbos are leaking oil by looking inside the pipes, though it sounds like valve seals to me. When you let off the gas the engine has the most vacuum and would likely pull some oil past the seals, if it was turbo it should do it under boost too. That AFR is a little too rich for me not to fix it, you start worrying about cylinder wash down at that point, its not an imediate threat but it will shorten the life of your engine. I'm not a Supra guy so I don't know specific fixes for your car and what they envolve, but I'm sure somebody can provide some good input on that.
  20. If it was something I wanted with zero fucks given on value, maybe.
  21. PM me the VIN I'll look it up, it'll tell me any warranty thats been done. Unfortunatly the wheels are next to impossible for GM to do anything on.
  22. Yeah looks like White Diamond, that was a $1k option when it was new. The wheels look good too, just try to keep the salt off them, typical GM chrome it won't stand up as good as you'd like. It will make a nice vehicle for sure, let me know if you need any info or help with it.
  23. Polaris is full of monitored cameras, and the police get called by the monitoring companies quicker then any place in town. Trust me any place up there will not last long. I also would not suggest the old Jeg's in Reynoldsburg since the rumor has been Reynoldsburg PD booting people. I have no interest what so ever in going down on campus, that area has more idiots and bullshit non-car drama then I'm going to deal with. Some of us used to meet a the Giant Eagle on Hamilton Rd near 33 on the south east side, and we never got kicked out of there.
  24. Well you're between a rock and a hard place, you can't buy R12 anymore so unless someone happens to have some you're shit out of luck. An old compressor may or may not have issues once converted so thats just a risk you're going to have to take. You'll also have to find someone with the equipment to recover what R12 is left in your system, unless it's empty. I don't know off hand who has this equipment anymore and I've never had to change one over, I started into working on cars after most of this stuff ran its course.
  25. Fuckers just got my renewal too. There are quite a few things that really suck about the internet, I really like tangable items like magazines, CDs, and real brick and mortor stores to visit. Shit still sucks.
