Hit up a cruise night

Helped a buddy engine swap his Festiva with other Festiva people.

I’ve put almost the full 300 miles of the new clutch break in on the car in a weekend.

If you can, post quirky Mazdas for my Birthday !

Very nice.  I tried to get my Lady to get one of those, but it wasn’t in the cards.

I got it 6 months before it was legal and had it stored.  Less than half the current market value!

It is!  They have it open for biking now.  It is also fun on foot in the mud.  I’ve slid down it before.

Lucky duck! I need my living situation to change to I can start the import of a FIAT 126p from Poland.... :/

I’ve been to a lot of little ski areas up there (ski racing) but never that one. Looks like a typical NY state ski area:

Best viewed in landscape orientation. So much fun can be had, though!

It is one of the smaller ones in our area too.  Holiday Valley in Ellicottville is the most well known.

I decided I needed one 10 years before they were legal for import, so I had a lot of time to research, plan it out, and save.  I’m sure you will get there!

Thanks, I have the savings, but I don’t have anywhere to store it at the moment, sadly!

Ahh, well it is probably better for the car to have a good out of the weather home.  I barely have that, but I’ll get rid of the riding mower if I have to lol.

Exactly. I still live at home at the moment and have plenty of work sub teaching, but no permanent full-time job and no place of my own. I’d prefer to have a garage to keep it in to keep it safe!

They are going well, the RX7 is still happily buzzing around and profusely leaking oil. The Chevelle is coming along too, finally have the block back from machining and will be putting that engine together soon before too long, need it together to get itself to storage before winter so I can have my garage floor poured.

Sounds like you have a lot of irons in the fire.  Well the self undercoating RX7 is a plus!  I finally got all the small leaks sorted on the AZ-1.  Now I need to finish 1.8L swapping the Festiva for my lady.  That’s this week’s project.  After that I have no more cars to work on.  It will be nice for the few minutes it lasts.

I’ve always got too much going on, at least it keeps me from getting bored :)

What’s the word on the miata roof / rotary / festiva projects you’ve been working on in the past?

nerd_racing > MM54 08/30/2019 at 08:34

Festiva is being worked on right now.

Miata roof project was taken from me by a tree over the winter. It smashed the hatch and donor roof beyond repair.

Looking forward to seeing the end result of that one!

Man, I didn’t know about the fate of the roof project. That’s a huge bummer, but I guess all things considered it could have been a lot worse.
