Then I installed a valve in each pipe nipple, with a 90deg elbow on the end. With each new outside operator. We would tell them that they had to check the moisture content in each beam. They had to open the valve and drain out the water and measure how much water was at each beam. We even had a spread sheet for it. What they didn't know. The senior operator on the shift before would go around and turn the 90deg elbow up. Open the valve and fill up the pipe nipple. Once full. Close the valve and turn the elbow back down. Some took weeks to catch on. The operations manager knew about it, and never said anything about it. It was a way for us to tell who would make it and who wouldn't. :rofl2:

One of the best was telling new guys they need to take an exhaust sample. They'd go to whatever vehicle and hold a plastic trash bag and fill it with exhaust..lol.. even funnier when that vehicle was an M1 tank... no exhaust pipe, but a big grill. They'd swipe at the air behind the tank trying to capture exhaust

So true.

With the random, sometimes all week showers here, it’s hard to even wash the Z. Let alone this heat. :wtf2:

Yea, I couldn't believe it. I didn't notice them missing until I was in the line to have my tech inspection for that days track session. It was not a good day as I didn't get to run because my car was too loud.

That is just horrible. That poor engine. Whoever owned/did that should not own or work on a vehicle ever again.

But, it’ll be that much better once you get it back together correctly. Love working on an engine and knowing you brought it back from The Land of Wind and Ghosts.

Like, i dont know ANYTHING about working on cars for the most part. This is the first time ive ever worked on a motor, but its a miata so its simple and plenty of guides/videos out there to follow. Just seeing this is horrifying, because whoever did this just slapped it together and then sold it.

Thankfully, with a small forturne spent on seals, gaskets, new hoses and other odds and ends, it should be a reliable-ish car for track,autox and the occasional late night top down fun run :D

I am going to take a shot in the dark with japanparts.com. Shipping costs are reasonable this time. RHDjapan was outrageous and getting the package was a nightmare.

The Simpsons. In Marge We Trust.

He boasts that he will banish dirt to the land of wind and ghosts. Akira: Yes, you have very lucky dishes, Mr. Simpson. This soap is from the sacred forests of Hokkaido, renowned for its countless soap factories.

It'll be a great learning experience to wrench on, parts are cheap enough, the platform has been around for ages with all knowledge available, and you'll do it the correct way after seeing everything current wrong. Congrats on the project car!
