I don't know too much about NAs specifically. I do seem to recall reading something about replacing the AFM with one from an RX-7. If you haven't joined it yet, go to Miata.net. It's considered the old fogey forum, but they do have a lot of knowledgeable folks and their garage section has quite a few how-to's. Get on the OMO on Facebook too, there are guys on there who are more than willing to help someone out.

 

Grats on the new ride Tact. Let me know if you want help with anything I'm more than willing to lend a hand

 

thanks guys. i've already joined the Facebook group and miata.net forum and reading up a lot.
does anyone here know how to weld and willing to teach me the basics? I'm planning on getting some cheap welder so that I can fix up some body rusts.

one sad thing is tho, my poor 8 is not parked outside until i get the miata fixed up...

 

Congratulations Tact!!!

 

Hey are there any events or meets coming up. I'm really itching to meet some other Rx-8 owners. I also wanna get back on to the track. I use to go all the time with my mustang and AE86 and its been too long

 

I may stop by Fuel on Saturday before the UC-Louisville game. Anyone going?

Should be in the 40's hopefully.

 

I'm getting home Monday (just call it Tuesday since by the time I get home from the airport it will be). I'm planning on Fuel 01 March unless the weather is complete crap.

 

I'll be there. The level of snow melt on my driveway will determine what car. As it sits now, the m3 would never make it out of the car port.


Welcome Almost home Chief

 

I'll be in the dirt mobile. Every time I wash it, it lasts less than an hour.

 

Not gonna make a Fuel. Stuck in Philly due to weather delays.

 

That's ok Steve, you know you really wanted to wait until next week any way!

PS Sorry you got stuck in Philly.

 

Took Isabella to fuel for her first time today, then washed and waxed the M in the afternoon. It needed it so badly. Sucks you got stuck in Philly Steve. I've been waiting to see that 135i.

Hopefully we'll have some good weather next weekend.

 

Yeah I got home at 6 today. Hopefully I can get to Fuel next weekend, but I'm back in Philly next Tues to Friday. My luck with East Coast flights hasn't been too good the last year or so.

Chief, Kevin hope to see ya there.

 

Fuel? What are you guys talking about?

 

If anyone is going to DGRR X this year and interested in a caravan on Thursday down to the event we will be meeting at the Bob Evans by King's Island off of I-71 at 7 am for breakfast and an ETD from there of 8 am. Hope some of you can go this year, it really is a great time.

 

Wendy, you suck. I'm going to be doing training in Singapore then.

Off the ship and on my way home. Hotel in Istanbul tonight, flying tomorrow. Have some wine percolating in my belly, it's a good feeling.

 

A coffee shop just east of downtown Cincy that hosts a Cars and Coffee every Saturday.

I'm in. My brothers and I are planning the trip this year. Doubt I'll make breakfast (Just moved from West Chester to Fort Mitchell) so I'll probably catch you guys on the way through. My brother is planning to meet up in Lexington area with his 7 on the way by.

 

Wish there was a list of events or something so I can work my schedule around it. Lol. The army doesn't always give a lot of free time to go to events on a wim

 

You could always start one...


I wish I could do DGRR this year. I'm at work or on call the whole time.

 

That would be a god idea but I don't of any events around here. I haven't had time in the past year

 

Good seeing you briefly on Saturday Kevin. Sorry for rushing off but we are thinking about getting another vehicle (the VW finally died and Robyn came to her senses) and she wanted to go look at one up north. I know I sounded awesome with the belt slippage as I drove off.

 

Ha - no YOU suck - with your first first gen, the 8 and a Miata - I am jealous so much because your trio is better than our trio. When all three of ours are road worthy then and only then will I suck, lol.

There will always be DGRR 2015 Chief!

Wish I didn't work weekends or I'd join you all at Fuel :-(

 

You forgot the Speed6.

 

No worries Mike. I image that I'll see you this weekend again. So what car did you go look at?

So it was belt slippage? Sounded funky, thought you might have had a misfire. glad it's more simple than that.
