Aghhhhh.... Got home from work tonight and decided to give the car a once-over check... Good thing I did, both my front tyres have picked up screws :evil:

So I ended up changing wheels in the dark, and replaced the split-pins in the ball joints while I was at it, and lowered the front a bit. I even went and washed the car for the first time in about 6 months, AND I fitted the proper mirrors back on (couldnt be bothered taking the door trims off to plug them in though).

So yeah, thats all done, now I just need to charge the camera

I just ordered mine!!!!
Woooo Hooo!!!!
I reckon they look great!

Good thing I have a spare set of wheels at home, changed the bloody go-flat tyre for one of the ones with good tread, was a real dampener on an otherwise top day.

damn Vu, could it be associated with the smoke from your exhaust I saw under hard acceleration on the way to Goolwa?
Hope it's not too bad

so far the U.S miata.nutter forum suggests maybe it's broken valve springs or a rod/wrist pin knock. don't really what know what it's all about though..

i don't even know if it's safe to drive like that.. & i got some rented DVDs i need to return in half a week!

ok, got a good mechanic close by who you trust that can check it out?
ya right, i got no cause to complain about the tyre,, puts it into the category of a minor inconvenience compared to the engine noise.

Thanks Vu! I've ordered my shirt!!

Hope the engine problem isn't serious.

Sounds like you all had fun...

Gail that shirt is the old style so grab one if you can find it....Luv mine seeing that i won it.. :mrgreen:

The new style has blue stripes that go around the cuff of the sleeve..

It's not as nice as the old style in my opinion..
