devonianwalk Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Stared at mine as well as I backed out of the drive way wondering why I didn't drive her instead. Then later I passed by the gas station and remembered why I had the top down on the Miata. Oh, and the Bee A youtifull weather we had here today. But she was on my mind all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewebster Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Dropped my last functional alarm remote, breaking it somehow (light on it comes on, but no response from truck). Annoying since they are long since discontinued and seem to be hard to find. Ugh. Not that I really care much about the alarm, but keyless entry is nice. Making matters worse, when I close the drivers door the lock pops up, so I have to use the key every time to lock it.

Kyle94 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Dropped my last functional alarm remote, breaking it somehow (doesn't work anyway).

Making matters worse, when I close the drivers door the lock pops up, so I have to use the key every time to lock it. try holding the handle up when closing? i dont know about some pathys. but my subaru used to unlock itself when you close the door with out holding the handle up. as a safety feature...

Towncivilian Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Put the spare tire on, probably the first time it's ever been used. Driver's side rear tire was completely flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 ^Kyle actually gave good info. Hold the door handle up with the lock button down when closing the door. Every d21 and wd21 I've touched has the feature. Washed/waxed WhiteOwl yesterday, actually drove him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 6'2" and have a very hard time seeing the traffic light if I'm the first car at the intersection. I've learned to watch for the yellow light for the other lanes before "scrunching" down to see when my light turns green. If the top is down, I simply lean back and look over the top of the windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meandmy92Pathy Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Dismantled the driver's door and pulled the window and the regulator.....cleaned the regulator and put it all back together, hoping it would fix the window not rolling up problem......it didn't , now a trip to the local JY is on my to do list for a new regulator.......more to follow!!!!!

Precise1 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 123,456 Nice!! I'll have to try to catch that in another 4 years or so... I took the upper control arms apart, cursed the guy I bought the assemblies from, went to work and wire wheeled everything, went to the hardware store to buy replacement washers and called it a day...

Kingman Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Took the lower intake manifold off to replace it. Totally forgot about the coolant passages in it and didn't drain the coolant. Filled the cylinders and ports with coolant, then galled the threads on the NO. 2 spark plug hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPath Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Unhooked it from the tractor I drug it into the back yard with last Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Picked it up from Nissan (new seatbelts FTW), and cleaned the blower motor and quieted its ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Got it all put back together. Had a really bad miss for a few minutes until the rest of the water evacuated from the cylinders, it was so bad I thought I screwed something up. Runs a hell of a lot better now but still has a stupid little miss that sounds like a vacuum leak at idle. Looks much better with the plenum cover on. Had to cut 3/8" off the back to clear the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 A few hours ago I flushed the brake fluid with the help of a couple friends. Old fluid was really dark, looked like apple juice. Was probably the factory fill, in use for 123,546 miles. Brake pedal is not as squishy, but still has quite a bit of travel (have to push it till about half way before I get any significant braking), is that normal? I'll probably be needing new brake pads by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Make sure your rear shoes are adjusted up nice too... As for me, I put a bottle of Lucas injector cleaner in the fuel (and some down the side of the truck-I missed). Why? found it in the trunk of a junker (sealed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewebster Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 You have to push it down half way with the truck off and no power brakes? If so, that sounds like you still have air in the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
