on CRAIGSLIST.ORG!

its works pretty good too!
hooked it up to my car and hit some back roads and uploaded it and it was decent for $20

 

How was the audio quality though? My exhaust has a... we'll say loud rumble. hahaha. Wanna try to get as high of audio quality i can.

 

Any of you guys ever run into the Z logo on the rear strut bar rippling and then flaking off? I noticed a few months ago mine was rippled, and now tonight I caught an edge on a cloth while I was detailing the interior and the middle of the Z is now white plastic . I'm wondering if it's possible to just replace that Z.

I found a few aftermarket sites with new covers including a carbon fiber one that looked nice, except the Z is cut out and it fits OVER the factory one. One site had covers for 03-05 and 06-08 but the weird part is they say in 06+ the cover is now a gunmetal color. My 08 has a silver colored cover on it (was like that when bought new from the dealer) so I'm not sure what to get. I guess I'm calling the parts dept tomorrow to see what I can get but I'm hoping to not have to do the whole cover since they're about $100.

 

^why not just strip it and repaint it????

 

Yeah I might see about that when I can get a better look in the light. I kinda liked the metal look of the Z though and I'm not sure how the metal look paints will come out. Worst case I guess it looks like crap and I have to buy a new one anyway.

 

Sina - did you ever finalize your camera mount? lol

 

I got a decent little setup for my car.

 

Well I have a new potential win on the rear strut cover emblem. It sounds like it might be covered under factory warranty which I still have until 12/15/2011 so I'm going in Monday to get it looked at.

 

Hope this isn't against TOU...

Any Sacto guys not doing anything on Oct 28th 2011 (Strategik @ Blue Print restaurant & Bar), my friends up there are throwing a party (Techno, house, breaks). I have a free ticket available since I cannot attend...PM me and I will shoot you the link. Should be a good party and my friends have been doing this for years.

 

1st gen miata or 1st gen supercharged MR2?

this will be a fun little car to track

 

i hate how mr cars handle, but i say first gen mr2 just because they're cool.

 

why? never driven one myself. built a pretty basic one in forza 4 and it was ripping spec miatas so ive wanted one ever since

 

i had a 2nd gen mr2 and a boxter and just could never get used to the balance of an mr car. they were both completely stock though. i'm sure if i had done some suspension work and had some sticky tires the would have been much more fun.

i have a miata now and it's fun as hell, but everyone has them. i never see supercharged 1st gen mr2's.

i <3 this one

 

I can't find any clean SC MR2s for under 3k

 

lol under 3k? thats kinda lowballin it for a "clean" blown MR2

I also agree with Max-G i never really liked driving MR cars. Ive driven an MR2 and a porshe GT3. Of course the GT3 was sickkkk to drive compared to the MR2 but then again it also costs ~90k bucks lol...

Never mind the fact that working on a mid engine sucks huge donkey cack

 

I think I might just stick to the Miata idea.

 

^+1

 

Well, just got finished with the dealer, wow the warranty is actually good for something on the inside. The rear strut bar cover will get replaced under warranty for peeling Z logo Going to have the battery done at the same time. I was told last service over at Maita that it was getting marginal and today Roseville told me that the charge is fine it's the CCA's that are below spec.

I had been looking at batteries but apparently since I'm still in the last 3 months of factory warranty it will cost me only $68 for my share of pro-rated factory warranty for them to put the new battery in. I can't even buy the new battery and do it myself for that $$$. It's the same 7 year warranty battery I was going to get from the parts dept. (which was cheaper than any of the stuff out on town I was looking at).

 

Glad to see you put the warranty to good use. Hope they will warranty our headlights.

 

lol havent had to claim anything under waranty yet...althought i should have for the leaking coolant line TSB but i just moved the bracket a bit and it stopped...so forget it lol...

I just wish they had a quiet TOB for the HR's!! i hate that noisey POS lol...
