I guess when I buy kits from ECS I'll keep an eye out. I bought a shifter bushings kit too with 2 uro parts. Ah fuck now you guys have me paranoid.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk I mean it is pretty hard to mess up the shifter bushings so I wouldn't be too worried about those. I upgraded all of my stuff to delrin so that it took all of the slop out of the stock design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekpoint Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Bought an E36 m3 lip for my lux bumper today. Sanding it down and painting it black. Found it under a sign. I also finally got my shiftknob and side markers from @wasnt m3. For those of you who didn't know spider got into a really bad head-on collision going to buy a new Miata. He was in the hospital since the 12th when it happend. I plan on trying to rewrap the knob in suede.

I hope the text message that the lady in the equinox was working on got sent before the crash happened because it was clearly very important... basedspider and Rekpoint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris3 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Accident description sounds like a mess. Equinox lane crosses and pinballs off the semi (?) rather than everything ending there, and likely no way to see it coming until it's too late since he was behind and vision blocked by the semi. Glad he's ok and recovering. basedspider and Rekpoint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Sorry to hear about your friend, that's terrible. Hopefully he recovers 100%. Rekpoint and basedspider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Well. I was trying to get the silver ring around the shift knob off. Heat wasn't working. Nail-polish remover didn't work either. Soaked it in acetone and the acetone ate through the plastic clips before the glue. Guess I have a zhp paperweight now :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Bumper, lip and fog deletes completely sanded. Hopefully paint gets it this week. If not nextweek is OK too! & Yes.

basedspider Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hey all, just popped in to check in on this thread and kinda wanted to give an update of everything that happened. So my friend and I went to go pick up my new Miata on Monday the 19th, and once we got about 15 minutes away from the car, the lady struck the rear corner of the semi with the side of her SUV and hit us head on. We were in a 2002 Camry doing about 45-50, and she was in a newer Equinox doing about 60. The crash ended up pushing our car back some even. I ended up flying over the airbag and smashing my head on the windshield so I had a super bad concussion. I had internal bleeding from tears in my smaller and larger intestine, and I fractured my L2 lumbar in my spine. I cant feel part of my leg but I still have full strength. I wasnt able to eat or drink for about 10 days when I was in the hospital, and I finally got home last wednesday on the 28th. Im getting a lot better at walking and functioning normally, and I even started driving again yesterday. The lady who hit us has no idea what happened, and she got the worst injuries out of all 3 of us involved. My friend who was driving just has a back brace for 6 weeks, then he is gonna be back to 100% after he gets that off. I have another surgery scheduled on my back next January to get the 6 screws and 2 titanium rods taken out of my spine, but after then I will be back to normal 100%! Thanks for the support! Heres the camry after the accident. You can see where I went over the airbag and hit the windshield. I also did end up with the miata. My dad and brother got the money and bought it when I was in the hospital. I love it so far. EDIT: Glad to see that bumper going to good use ;D P_Roloff and Rekpoint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Wow, that thing took a hit for sure. It sucks that you were doing nothing wrong and got hit like that, never a great situation. I'm glad to hear you're doing okay though! I gotta ask, due to the head on the windshield, were you wearing a seat belt? basedspider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta ask, due to the head on the windshield, were you wearing a seat belt? Yup! The seatbelt was actually the cause for my broken back and the internal bleeding. Im 6'4" and when we got in the accident I was sitting pretty relaxed which caused me to have a bunch of movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 That is awful and I am glad that you're doing well. Looks like you will probably have a good bit of money for mods to the miata after this. You know even though it isn't a BMW, you don't have to leave the forum=) basedspider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Dang, that's quite an accident. Glad you all pulled through. Unfortunate for everyone. Keep us in the loop. I had a turbo Miata (loved it), and Kaiser loves Miatas as well. basedspider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Bought some base coat last night ^.^ Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekpoint Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 All primed up ready to go to the painter Tuesday or Wednesday! For anyone wondering I used 2 cans of ProXL Pro Ultra build primer. 13$ a pop but that was what I was told to use. He will spray another layer of primer the base then clear.

Rekpoint Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I also made the mistake of buying a set of "mint" Depo headlights. Needless to say the mechanic who took them off broke one and the guy who sent them out didn't check before sending. He refunded me 50$ and I am selling them for 110 today.Buying zkws or Boschs from Earl's friend sometime this weekend.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
