3  General / Classifieds / Stuff from my Miata on: June 30, 2008, 08:18:21 AM
Hey folks,

Unloading some stuff. Cry

Kosei K1's in new condition.  15x7, 4x100, 38mm, and as a special added feature, these are shod with Hoosier A3's (225/45).  OK, so the Hoosiers are a bit hard, but they are still better than street tires! As a set only, $360.

Tire trailer with tool box, in excellent condition. $250.

Miata (NA) da'lan trailer hitch. I'm sure you'll need mounting bolts.  $75

Willams (sp?) 2 inch cam harness. $50.

Hey, what I can I say...daughter is getting married...so daddy has to raise some serious jingle Cheesy  This all may pay for one flower arrangment!

Everything is in Fredericksburg.

Maybe I should clarify...:duh:...I don't know how to be THE OD, so somebody will still need to step up and be THE OD.  I will certainly help out and in the process get my training to be THE OD another day! :bounce:

As the link I posted indicated, this is a revenue generator and the lawmakers fully admit that.

Of course, there is a simple answer to all this...behave! Cheesy :p

Yes, the waiver does still exist, and I was told would apply IF you qualify.  Not where is that waiver?  :blah:

And then hope a Statie never looks in your car, or pulls ya over, since they can "inspect" your car whenever they want to.

If you haven't heard about this...you better take a read

Be careful!!!!
12  General / Open Forum / Got an aftermarket steering wheel? Look out! on: June 27, 2007, 05:09:58 AM
Yep, Adrian, I found all of those references and discussed them at length with the Sgt.  According to him, the Capt has the authority via the General Assembly to make changes to the state inspection rules without first getting specific approval  from the GA.  To that end, what you have seen on the State Police web site is code, as offically issued on July 1, 2006 in Inspection Bulletin #323.

Key word...ANY PART of the system

As to the '91.  It's marked on the VIN tag.  You would have to deface the VIN tag to remove the "Air Bag" marking.  I beleive that modifying the VIN tag is a major no-no.

And there is no start date.  If I had replaced the wheel in '92, I'd have to get a air bag back in there to pass inspection.  Read a case of a guy just moved here from FL.  He had removed the entire system while in FL.  Could not get VA inspection...ouch!

The Sgt. seemed like a very reasonable man.  I have little reason to believe that he was trying to "snow" me.  This is truly a P.I.T.A.  Especially, if you have already made those changes.  Sad

CSP for me...so I could have spent that money.
14  General / Open Forum / Got an aftermarket steering wheel? Look out! on: June 25, 2007, 12:06:09 PM
I have done my research.  I actually got a phone call from Sgt Evans of the VA State Police, Safety Division.  As of July 1, 2006 all cars so equipped from the factory were to be inspected and rejected if ANY component of the air bag system was removed.  Here's the fun part.  This goes backwards too.  Had I modified my '91 Miata in May of 2006, I would still be required by VA code to return the air bag system to its orginal condition.

Crud!  angry

Can we make that the equivalent of a one cone penalty for each run? Wink  :evil:  Cheesy
17  Events / Autocross / Where is everybody? on: June 13, 2007, 04:57:30 AM
Oh, sorry...I stand corrected :duh:  There are autocrosses on the vmsc schedule for July, but they don't show in "My Calendar" on the myautoevents web site. :ouch:
18  Events / Autocross / Where is everybody? on: June 13, 2007, 04:53:56 AM
I just checked the entry list (Wednesday morning).  Only 32 registered so far.  Where is everybody? I know its gonna be hot cool and I know its "father's day", but this seems like a really light turn out.  Com'on folks!  Next one isn't till Aug.  Better get in while ya can!
19  General / Open Forum / Just in Case you are wondering why I did not show up for AX on: April 30, 2007, 08:12:38 AM
Holy Cow!  Wouldn't it be easier to buy a new one? Wink  Maybe not as much fun, but maybe cheaper!

I want to know more about that garage! Cheesy  A lift?  Wow, I can only dream!
20  General / Classifieds / NA Miata Roll Bar -- $275 on: April 20, 2007, 04:51:40 AM
Scott,
Isn't the E30 spec fairly new?  I think any established spec can end up costing a lot to run up front.  One of the really appelaing features of Spec Miata is the number of entrants in a race.  MARRS gets near 40 cars every race.  So no matter where in the pack you are, there is likely to be a handful of folks ro race with.  That's what appealed to me; I wouldn't have to win to have a blast.

One other thing I noticed about Spec Miata after playing pitcrew for a few races...it's brutal!  Anybody that gets in to it better be ready for a bunch of dents, torn off bumper covers, and the like!  Wild!

Here's wishing Adrian good luck with the build, and eventual track racing!

nope
23  Events / Autocross / Fun and Games with Registration and Permanent #'s on: March 26, 2007, 08:35:50 AM
I'm so confused....:ouch: Wink

As late as last Thursday morning, I checked the entry list and I was not on the list. I do have a paid up permanent number.  Just for grins, I though I check this morning (Monday) and... say waaa :omg:... I'm on the list for yesterday's event.

I knew well in advance I would not be attending.  That is why I kept checking last week.  I certainly would have removed myself from the list in plenty of time.

So, is this just another "teething problem" or is there something we need to know about cancelling out if we have permanent numbers.

Please this is not a "whine" Cheesy  Just trying to learn how to "work-with-the-system"

25  Events / Autocross / new 2 me car - need classing info on: December 08, 2006, 11:28:12 AM
Joel,
Sorry I wasn't implying that my 04 should be in ST2.  ST2 STRICTLY forbids pushing extra air into the intake (a.k.a. turbo).  I was just curious if you were running in ST2, cuz according to SCCA that's only for 90-97 Miata's.
I tried ST2 for a while when I had an 01 on 15's.  The club had slightly modified the SCCA interpretation of ST2 a few years back.  I thought we had reverted to strict SCCA classes (strict classing? waz-zat :ouch: ....just teasing gang!)
