Apparently, if you buy enough from Flyin Miata you actually get a catalog in the mail!

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Who still does that? I can’t imagine there’s a return on this cost. Lord knows I’m on their website enough anyway.

I installed their front and rear away bars and adjustable end  links, but the rear has a clunk. I’m going to loosen all the bolts, make sure everything is straight and settled while on the ground, and tighten up again. Any other ideas?

We’ve talked about them in history class. Don’t quite remember what exactly it is though... I think something with the germans in ww2

Doesn’t seem too uncommon. I’ve gotten parts catalogs from The Fiero Store, Vick Autosports and Midwest- Bayless I think .

I cannot think of the last catalog I got. It's not comprehensive, but still.

I get an email "newsletter" from Rock Auto, but nowhere else.

Is there an order form you can rip out, and mail in with a money order for parts? Imagine a future when you’ll be able to call up an 800 #, at any time, and order parts over the phone with a money card.

A toll-free call.

Imagine.

I just installed FM sway bars and their adjustable endlinks last week  and I’m getting a clunk out of the rear, too. Let me know what you figure out!

In the hemmings book they still send it the cooker tire catalog.

We have a couple automobile Atlanta (914parts) catalogs that are at least 15 years old that my dad will flip through if we’re trying to find the name of a part. He called up the store and goes “page 89”

Clerk:  “wait did you say page?... I can’t believe those catalogs are still floating around”

My kids have some old Little Critter books, and one of them is When I'm Bigger. He orders something from a catalog by sending the card back through the mail. For my kids, that must be the equivalent of me reading about horse and buggies as a kid. Irrelevant history

It seems p roducts aimed at females get catalogs - I know this because my wife gets a ton and I get none.

I mean they are one of our largest distributors for our performance products line, but still.  I ship parts to work since I don’t have anyone at home to sign for them.

This took two or three orders before I got the catalog. Enough to earn a side eye from the wife. "How much have you ordered from them?"

Bavarian Autosport used to send 100-page BMW catalogs a couple times per year.

A week or two ago, they sent an email that they were now closed, effective immediately.

I get print catalogs from Summit, Northern Tool, and some others fairly regularly, I like them. Can’t casually browse online nearly as easily.

Ok, so I loosened everything while the car was on the ground, gave the truck a few good bounces, then retightened everything. Also, the heat shield for the exhaust was making contact, so I bent that out of the way. I got the room with the roadster sport muffler on there. Noise gone!

My uncle uses to have a printing company. That stupid perforrated would add a crazy amount to printing costs. Funny thing is that whenever it was suggested to remove to reduce costs, the response was always “you don’t get it, those mail orders sheets account for some crazy 30 + percent of sales.”
