Bae's new-to-her car we picked up yesterday:



I polished the headlights earlier since that was easy enough, will test fit the factory wheels from the Miata once it's nicer out since she likes how they look.

I miss my 93 sc400. I did a complete black interior swap, bc coilovers, freshened up the steering components and all services. I have 99 gs400 as summer family car. Waiting to install my black interior, fresh headlights, tails and then the airlift system I just picked up from a fellow enthusiasts.

Personally the 99 1uz feels snappier, vvti can be the reason. The 93 1uz is great if you wanna build it up for boost. Otherwise I truly enjoy the 99 more.

Took the fiancée to test drive a '97 SC400 at a "buy here pay here" lot, it was all original aside from the stereo but you could tell it has lived a rough life. Worn interior, heatshield and interior rattles, all electric motors were slow and catching(passenger mirror didn't work at all), clunky going into drive and reverse, needed brakes and suspension, door handle assembly wasn't smooth and hinges needed refurbished, etc...

At least she knows she likes them now, so there's that. Going to find a GS400/430 so that she can decide between them.

Quit conplaining about snow. If you guys hate it so much move to california

Dang that looks bad.

When did this come back? I check a few times a week.

BOOOOOOOOOXXXXXX!!!!

I still have lé Miata and have driven the **** out of it, what's this world coming to?

Yup, I like soft and curved.

and girls, almost a year later!

That awkward moment you're better off with the older technology.

Ok Grandma, let's get you to bed.

It's never easy losing those you love, even if they're not people. Hmm... that could be fun if she's not driven the Celica before! I was thinking about going out in the Miata just for the hell of it myself.

I get that, a car you're not familiar with can be unsettling. Which I'm having to readjust to the Miata's tendencies versus the Firebird, so it's been like "Woah, I can TURN again!"

Ooh sounds good, I just had buttermilk waffles with honey.

I mean personally I'd be looking at mixing with a LWSP or SLWSP for that added film strength to cushion the gears from clashing on hard shifts. I can't figure out what trans is in her 91 Capri Turbo and how dissimilar it is to the the trans in your Miata but that extra fluid strength and stickiness of the oil made the synchro's work a lot lot better. I've driven it a few times before and after the oil change to the blend and it's night and day difference in how the gears just sink into place vs having the push them in and feel like the trans is fighting a bit.

HUZZAH MY LAPTOP IS REPAIRED! My Mushkin 480GB SSD was throwing a smart error about something failing for a long time but the terabytes written was way too low for that to be the case. Well it wasn't, it was feeling laggy then wouldn't open a folder, then failed to reboot. Kept timing out on one file during boot. Well ****. I got a 500GB Samsung 860 Evo a week ago to replace it with when I felt it acting a little funny and was going to be doing that this weekend. Last night I did it a day early. I was able to copy the home folder off and save all my stuff then cloned the 480GB drive to the 500GB drive and luckily Linux and EXT4 are robust enough that it cloned cleanly and booted up fine! No more Mushkin SSD for me I guess, trying to warranty it when the SMART error first cropped up was a nightmare, they didn't want to then they wanted to send me a worse product then they wanted me to pay up front and refund me once they verified it was bad, then I told them to screw off. I also re-applied thermal compound to the CPU while I was in there, it's made a big difference. The 5 year old Arctic Silver was all dried up and splotchy, put on some Kryonaut paste and my temps are back down a little but overall the fan runs less and spins slower to maintain the same temps, side affect the battery feels like it's lasting a little better as well.

Erin is feeling much better, based on symptoms alone she had C19. She had two swab tests come back negative though which is odd but false negative swabs are somewhat common it seems, especially if the viral load is low or you're not moving it from the lungs to the sinuses through a lot of aspiration I guess. She's still getting an occasional tightness or pain in her chest and a moment of dizzy here and there but it's much improved. She's on some Prilosec for heart burn that got really bad, the doctor mentioned seeing that in some of her other patients that tested positive for C19. She's got an order in for an anti-body test in a couple weeks so we'll know then, probably?
