Chris GTO TT

So either my battery wont hold a charge anymore or i have a parasitic drain on my battery. I swear every time I try to do something fun with this car it just says “nope”

I always like it when my tires look like that I always struggled with keeping enough heat in my RE11's at Laguna Seca.

Looks like you had an awesome time even with the off. I'm still a bummed out I couldn't make it down there, but hopefully you'll be back to MRLS soon. Or maybe make the trip to Sonoma or all the way to Thunderhill.

Well since I couldn't make it to MRLS we took the Outback exploring around Truckee and Donner today. IMG_20171008_095846 by christobal65, on Flickr IMG_20171008_104254 by christobal65, on Flickr IMG_20171008_120950 by christobal65, on Flickr

Welcome to the thread! Always good to have another Miata owner in the thread

Yeah trying to get a clean lap is rough with the number of cars they put on the track. I'm just running stock 1.8 brakes with StopTech high performance pads. I'm a good 5-10 seconds a lap slower than you are so I don't typically have a problem. I'm starting to think it's time to step up to higher temp pads though.

Yep it usually is perfect weather there this time of year. I was pretty bummed yesterday since that was supposed to be my track day too. I just sat there looking at it wishing I was there. Yeah trackmasters is interesting, but I'm kinda used to them as I've run most of my track time with them. I'm looking forward to lots of great pics!

I was driving it around today and someone was nice enough to let me know I had a brake light out. Went to the auto parts store and picked a 2 pack of the Zevo LED's. I like these as they direct the light into the reflector bowl better than a norm LED bulb.

I didn't see much difference in the light output IMG_20171006_140955 by christobal65, on Flickr Here is the brake lights. IMG_20171006_142610 by christobal65, on Flickr

Here in Northern California we have a fairly distinct cool and rainy season. We don't have snow typically, but it's not really convertible friendly either.

Got it back! Looks better than before I got hit:cool: IMG_20171005_182358 by christobal65, on Flickr IMG_20171005_182342 by christobal65, on Flickr

Got word this afternoon the body shop is done with my Miata, now I just need to find a time to pick it up.

Unfortunately it's not likely. I won't have time to do the work I needed to do for the track. We've canceled our hotel reservations and made other plans

Looks great, and it's nice they have something like this for MS. Since my 01 fully supports OBDII I use Torque Pro, but like you I also want to get a real water temperature gauge. The adjuster left me a message yesterday saying my car should be done this week, or early next week.

Yeah. I'm still honestly shocked they are fixing my Miata and not totaling it.

Yes salvage grandma got into a fender bender, parts were difficult to find and expensive. It has 36k miles on it.

Yes it passed smog its actually sporting the temporary operating permit because it is a salvage title and my parents can't get the appointment they need with the CHP until January I thought about keeping it and throwing some decent suspension and some black Nascar style wheels at it.

Yup its the complete opposite of the Miata. It's huge, pretty quick (it has the LT1), supremely plush, and handles like a boat! It's a 95 with 36,000 miles on it.

Driving this beast for shits and giggles while the Miata is in the shop... IMG_20170921_184815 by christobal65, on Flickr

Ah okay I didn't realize you had already done that.

How do you know it didn't have the torsen?

See it would have been perfect It was a fleeting thought I never actually seriously considered. I know I'd have a hard time letting some "random" person take my car out on the track if positions were reversed.

With getting the refund I don't think I'll be down at all. Looks like my wife and I are going to Tahoe for a few days instead. If I didn't get a refund I thought about asking to drive your car

Yeah I'm not holding my breath on the refund actually showing up

Trackmasters finally responded and Doug said he would refund me before next week.

well some of the features of the MS3Pro PnP aren't necessary to me as I can't easily make use of them and then convert back to stock for CA emissions. If the MS2 PnP supported 01-05 Miatas that's what I'd buy.
