I think I found the bottom screw on il.motorsport (picrel). But I have no idea what the upper one is with the star pattern.

>>28263404
bro you don't need OEM bolts for that shit lol. Look for countersunk bolts at the hardware store for the top ones and just get some regular 12mils for the bottom. For the price of OEM you can probably find stainless steel hardware.
>>
>>28263388
Get aftermarket solid door bushings, and new M6x1.0 bolts in the same length as what they came with. Solid door bushings are cheap and easy and one of the best value for money upgrades you can do to any Miata. The extra stiffness is immediately noticeable.

Ill just get some Derlin door bushings then, they come with new bolts. I'll see if the hardware store has the countersunk bolts that fit.

That manuals are a LARP that are as close to a real racing transmission as they are to a CVT. Synchromesh, clutch delay springs, horizontal shifts usually taking a full second (!!!). Can't forget that they don't keep engines under load during shifts (autos do) so they have to respool turbos every shift.

Why aren't there more AWD sportscars?
>faster 0-60 from a launch (which is 99% of what people actually use their sportscars for
>can put power down way better with 4 wheels vs two
>way better in bad weather where a lot of people end up crashing their sportscars

counterarguments
>BUT THE FUEL ECONOMY
Doesn't matter
>AWD IS BORING IT DOES EVERYTHING FOR YOU
most sportscars are automatic only
>BUT YOU LOSE A SMALL AMOUNT OF POWER TO THE WHEELS
Irrelevant when most of these cars already have ludicrous amounts of power.

The weight difference is the only real point i can see

I like buttonslop and I hope it comes back in a big way. The more buttons the better. Screens should ONLY be for looking at the map.
The ONLY reason everything is a screen now is to save money. It doesn't look elegant, and it isn't easier to use.

*block's you're path*

hello /o/
my car has been having issues accelerating recently. at low rpms it's fine, no issues at all. when I put my foot down and try to speed up quickly, or try to accelerate up a hill, it runs into one of two issues:
>chugs and accelerates slowly
>turns on the engine light and displays a message that says "reduced engine performance"
in the case of the second one it disappears after a couple minutes and returns to normal. what do you think is causing this?

It isn't. I immediately take evasive action instead of laying on the horn. Had to do it with a pajeet in a LS460 who decided to pull completely into an intersection without stopping to cut across four lanes on a red light.

Me too, I hate steering wheel horns, they are rigid, unresponsive and difficult for precise honking.

this. I use it as an after the fact announcement to the offending party, when I see other vehicles scarily close to a collision (e.g. semi is lane drifting), or to tell someone to fucking hustle.

You are supposed to honk before the collision to prevent it.

I’m a financial advisor that has over a decade of experience working in Seattle, DC, Boca Raton, and now live in the Midwest and it is 100% dependent on where you live.
>West Coast
Indian tech nerds buy Teslas uniformly. The white guys that work the business side of things always get a Mercedes. The yuppy fags that haven’t worked their way up yet and don’t have families get Jeeps and 4Runners because they want to come off as outdoorsy on their dating profiles.
>DC
Shit ton of public transportation riders regardless of wealth. The ones that do drive love German shit but like 50% of whatever you see on the road on a given day there are going to be rentals.
>Boca

>Midwest
The husband always has a Navigator or Yukon. Maybe a fancy truck if he’s a GC or something. Wife always drives BMW X5, Jeep Wrangler (almost always the GCs wife), and I’ve noticed them getting into the new Defenders. Practical is what sells here when you have to drive through the snow.

For the record the richest client by liquid assets I’ve ever seen that still drives owns a major shipping company and his daily was a BMW M8 and the richest by overall net worth was a batshit crazy toothless grandma convinced the end days were neigh and that her robins egg blue ‘96 Wrangler with 350k miles was going to ride into the apocalypse with her. She inherited a shit ton of farm land that basically turned into a city and had been neurotically hoarding the last 40 years on her still fuck huge property while her trust was managed for her. I swear I’m going to write a book about this bitch one day.
