The Sentimental Mechanic: March 2012
http://www.sentimentalmechanic.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
A Miata nerd and Escort fanatic waxes obsessive over car repair, autocross, LeMons racing, and perpetual battles with rust. Saturday, March 17, 2012. Miata CAS doesnt like water. Don't hose off under the hood of your Miata if your cam angle sensor has a bad seal. That shit gets wet and your car becomes disabled because of a No G Signal fault code. I stuck it in the oven for a little while at a low temperature and was all better. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 1991 Subaru Justy 4WD. 2011 Toyota Yaris (Zoe's).

A Miata nerd and Escort fanatic waxes obsessive over car repair, autocross, LeMons racing, and perpetual battles with rust. Sunday, May 12, 2013. Mechanic Decor: Wheels and Tires as End Tables. So I looked on Craigslist for glass discs to use as a tabletop. I found someone selling them for $5 apiece. I bought two, stacked the tires two high, and made night stands for our bedroom. My fiancee approves. If you put a set of string lights inside the tires, it'll glow from the inside. May 12, 2013 at 3:55 PM.

A Miata nerd and Escort fanatic waxes obsessive over car repair, autocross, LeMons racing, and perpetual battles with rust. Saturday, September 24, 2011. Racing Beat knockoff header. I've learned something from my foray into the bottom-of-the-barrel cheap parts: There are two levels of shitty. Low price, good build quality, but materials that aren't the most durable perhaps because of lower quality. Lowest price, terrible build quality, horrendous materials. My recent reviews of Raceland's header. At the...

A Miata nerd and Escort fanatic waxes obsessive over car repair, autocross, LeMons racing, and perpetual battles with rust. Thursday, March 28, 2013. My Little White Truck. That driver is the pilot from an airplane I used to have, but upgraded with a helmet and air tank from one of my later space sets after the pilot hat got lost—probably in a heat vent somewhere. I keep this guy in my office. It's my favorite thing ever. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 1991 Subaru Justy 4WD. 2011 Toyota Yaris (Zoe's).

All this for a kind of ...

Note the almost complete absence of plastic components. The coils are wrapped in what looks like wax paper. The strain relief on the cord is just simple string. Here you can also see the wear on that shaft from the lack of lubricant in the sleeve bearing. There it is. Nothing but black, hardened grease.
