Narrowband A/F = faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail.

I put one in the Miata just to see if it worked (got it for free), the only thing it's good at is being annoying as hell at night.

yeah pretty much the same for me, except it annoys the passengers since the wheel blocks it from my view Cheesy

I got them for free and Harold made the bracket for the gauges and switches...I just wanted to get something in there.  In its place will eventually be the boost gauge Wink

Well oops.  I knew we were getting snow last night/this morning but I didn't realize how much.  In the end it was about 6/7 inches.  I remembered to put up my windshield wipers but not park at the end of the driveway, so lots of shoveling was in order.

Macy first thing this morning...


There was lots of sand on my tires so she left some tireprints!


Had to shovel :X


Victorious!  What you don't see is me making the Captain Morgan stance haha.


Cleeeean and out of the snow


My back is now killing me, no more shoveling for me today.  Almost got stuck in the breakfast places parking lot, the road down the street, and my driveway coming home.

http://zoomzoommacy.blogspot.com/2009/06/tie-rods-oh-my.html

The last few days have been nothing but blood, sweat, tears and tie rods. Went to swap tires and take a look at my brakes at a friend's house, and come to find out the outer tie rods were shot already. I replaced them a year ago or so...

Well try taking one off and nope, no dice...hard to work without air tools or a torch. So yesterday we ended up doing all four...inners and outers. The inners were SHOT and most likely the cause of the outers going so much, and the reason why my car can never hold an alignment.

Using some ingenuity and a huge wrench we were able to get them off the PS rack, and at the same time apparently flushed my PS fluid (yay power steering fluid EVERYWHERE).

dead outer:


dead inner and outer:


yay big ass wrench:


Went for a test drive around some back roads of Marblehead and man does she TURN! Feels so much better, safer and more solid. Next up, sway bar links that have prevented me from having a sway bar...oh yeah and shocks.
