      Every once in a while. I sold the supercharged cavalier and now I have a 91 BMW e30 sitting in my driveway I haven't touched. Have my heart set on a CCW THA Misfit motorcycle for my toy. Too much work to work on cars.

          Haha, been dealing with summer classes, but I got it inspected. I'll upload pics of the wheels/tires in a few minutes, ended up gettin 15" rota grids, with yokohama s-drive tires. Had to slice about 3/8" off the spring perches (if that's what they're called, idk) on the rear to keep from rubbing even with 1/4" spacers.

              Here's a couple crappy phone pics, first one with the wheels just put on, and the one in the grass with the suspension raised a little to avoid rubbing fenders..
              So what I've done so far, mostly to pass inspection, is: ghetto rig a windshield washer reservoir and pump since there was none, reinstall the horn, ghetto secure the battery box to the raised frame in the back,replace wiper motor because it only had one speed apparently, stiffen up the wobbly steering wheel, fiberglass over all the random holes in the floor, replace RR wheel cylinder and bearing, put a new popper solenoid in passenger door along with my own remote and controller to stop the slow battery drain, wheels and tires, secure the brake hoses at the struts and a few things i forget all before it passed inspection. Then brake lights went out last friday, replaced the switch. Today the gas smell and low idle speed were bugging me, so i took a look , there was a vent tube to the vapor separator loose behind the panel and I adjusted the idle speed up some, so we'll see how those issues go. Next will hopefully be installing my new alpine head unit and puttin this one in the jeep.

              Really wanted to make ohiostiva my first meet but my gf had her college grad party that weekend

                    The brake lights were going crazy on me when I had it and I had to replace the switch too!

                      Didnt know that existed lol, I'll put it on my calendar. Yeah apparently those switches don't last too long.. the multimeter said it worked but the brake lights didn't like it, and they gave me the same one again.. so how's that miata?
