The bike starts...just doesn't like to run on all 4 cylinders. I need to re-tune the bike still, and I'm almost positive I'll need new plugs. I might just get new plug wires/caps while I'm at it and change it all at once.

Oh hell no....she told me that as long as she has a house that she can call "hers" that I'm allowed to have all the toys I want...so bike parts are already on the "house to-do" list!!!! The floor is still as clean, but the rest of the garage looks normal now. Things on the walls, things lining...

Hahah that would only fly if I wasn't married. She'd divorce me if I kept it in the garage.

Wow, it's been a day or two since I've gotten on this forum!!! The wife and I bought a house...moved in 2 weeks ago (see pictures) The last 2 months have been SOOOO hectic. I haven't had any time to breathe! But...we're finally out of apartment living. And I've got a garage for myself too...

Thanks for the link. I can't really keep my bike parked next to my car to jump it. Sucks. And go figure....I put the bike on the patio long enough today to get enough charge and start the bike. Battery was deader than a frickin doornail. Got it started after about 30 minutes on the tender. Rode...

I've got a tender, just can't leave it hooked up to the bike since I don't have a garage. I would risk it being stolen if I did so. I do think that I definitely need to change out the battery to the sealed gel type that many of you mentioned. I don't even remember how much I spent on the acid...

So I think this may be a no brainer, but I'm no good with electrical so it couldn't hurt to ask. My bike is forced to sit outside until we buy a house with a garage (SOON hopefully) and nights here drop down into the 40s. I have to park the bike on our patio in order to be able to charge it, and...

In the meantime, just put your feet on the passenger pegs when you ride. As from when you need to brake or shift, it will give the same effect! :eusa_dance:

Who needs a video? Just buy a Clymers manual or something. That's how I did mine, and it worked out rather well! The hardest part of the whole thing is getting the damn engine in/out of the frame.

I know back home in Indiana that they don't add to value, but I think they do out here. Either that, or it just makes everyone out here want to buy them all up.....because we had a HELL of a time finding the home we wanted with a pool. Tons of them without pools. Not so much with a pool.

****, you can say that again. I would be totally screwed if I hadn't gotten it done beforehand, or even if I waited to move here to do it. How is a pool going to NOT add value? We're not talking about an above ground pool....this is a pool that's built in to look real nice and is high...

Oh most definitely. Actually, I found a fellow brother Vmaxer on this site who's a home inspector around here. I'm sure he'll chime in eventually..... He and his wife are great folks too. Just goes to show ya how riding a Vmax ties you in with SOOO many people and every one of them are all friendly!

I'm definitely going to have to check into that. Sounds awesome! I've heard of the filter relocation kits, but also have heard that they have some pressure issues every so often. You're not tellin me anything I don't already know. We just moved out here this past October from Indiana. Believe...

C'mon now....if it was a REGULAR miata, I could understand you making fun of me. This is a drift car though. BIG difference.

Dude....I don't have anywhere to store any ramps, a jack, or jack stands where I'm at now. We're in a small ass apartment and up to our knees in boxes. It blows. That's why I need a garage. So I can BUY the things I need to change the oil, do brakes, etc. Plus they have rules at this apt complex...

Oh I hear ya. Right now though, I could buy a home out here that needs nothing and when 5 years comes around, the house will already be more than we got it for. The market is just beginning it's rebound now, so we're buying at the best time. If you look at both the links I posted, you'll be able...

Wow....for those of you who read or are reading my other thread, I'm in the process of buying a home. I can not WAAAAIIITTTT to have a garage. I just was forced to pay $60 for an oil change in my Miata (have to run Mobil 1 0W-40 which ain't cheap) and it doesn't make me happy. Need to have a...

Well general concensus (sp?) is that HOA and their fees can all go to hell. LOL The 2nd home altogether is bigger. The kitchen, the closets, the rooms. Everything's bigger. We really want it, but the shake roof and a/c are the only things making us think twice, as I said before. If these 2...

The school systems that both homes fall into are both rated well, so that's not an issue. Drive time to/from work for both the wife and I is the same for both homes. One house is closer to my work and further from hers, the other house being vice versa. But the most we'll have to drive to work...

Alright so I know this is ultimately a decision that my wife and I have to make on our own. We have narrowed things down to 2 houses that we both like. Here are links for both of them: E. Ivanhoe St. N. Balboa Circle Each house has it's own pros and cons. Here are some of the main ones...
