Fought with Frontier for 3 hours on the phone, finally drove the 50 miles to the site because Frontier is useless. Turns out the user had SWITCHED the WAN and WLAN patch cables on the firewall. WHY????? I guess they panicked on the first day and just unplugged everything...:facepalm:

We have moved away from Frontier because they suck. They over charge, don't deliver on service and their customer service just sucks. We have had much luck and service with Suddenlink. Also we hired a company called Spyglass three years ago and they went through all our billing for all phone and internet service for over payments and so forth. They save us a to bunch of money and educated us in the process. Fast forward to today and they did another analysis and found nothing substantial because we been on to of Frontier, Suddenlink and ATT little tricks.

I use Mobile 1 5w 30 in the Miata. Because my Z is mostly track I run Eneos Sustina 0w 50 for better heat management. That being said you can't go wrong with Mobile1 products IMHO.

Yup. When frontier first took over, I placed a trouble ticket. They said theyll send out a tech... in EIGHT DAYS!! unacceptable, specially for a business class acct.

bunk 04-13-2019 11:41 AM

So the saga continues... I sheared off the bolt trying to get the bushing in. I think I was going in at a slight angle. Punched the bushing back out and now it's in the freezer. Gives me time to spit shine my exhaust...

How's your chest cold?

madwi 04-13-2019 12:42 PM

Went to my MRI appointment and couldn’t do it. They wanted me in positions that caused excruciating pain. Now the get to bring out the big guns and shoot me full of pain meds before next try.

Leingod 04-13-2019 12:42 PM

Going to have Rusty look at my fuses and electronics. Car started without much issue this morning. put it on ramps and did an oil change. Took my time doing other stuff and went to start the car about 2 hrs after the oil change finished. Car was completely dead. I had to jump start it. Drove it for an hr and voltage was at 14.1 on the battery gauge. So I have absolutely no clue now. I replaced the battery in October since it had died before as well.

BoneZ 04-13-2019 01:04 PM

Doors and trim delivered.

Probably left the car in ACC and drained the battery.

bunk 04-13-2019 01:21 PM

I did that when I was working on my brakes. It asnt full ACC, but the mode where the radio can still be on.

Leingod 04-13-2019 01:32 PM

I just suck at cars in general. Lol.

JARblue 04-13-2019 01:33 PM

Hood and Nismo parts are safely home :tup:

That drive was fuckin terrible. Lots of 30 mph driving in 75 mph zones :eekdance:

And now I'm at the office :shakes head:

JARblue 04-13-2019 01:34 PM

Just get it charged up at autozone for free and keep an eye on your voltage. But I bet that's what happened.

$450.

JARblue 04-13-2019 01:47 PM

ok so then I lowballed the shìt out of him :rofl2:

The only price I found for a dual pod was some old FS thread with a couple of gauges I couldn't identify that sold for $400 ... what's weird is I can't even find that FS thread again.

JARblue 04-13-2019 01:49 PM

Check the bushing and bore for burrs since you removed it. A burr will hang you up faster then chit. Also recoat the bore with anti-sieze. Next time when you are installing the bushing. Take a heavy hammer to tap on the bushing when the nut gets hard to turn. And leave the bushing in the freezer overnight.


The cold is still hanging in there. :shakes head:Outside cutting the grass and hacking up snot. The lungs are slowly cleaning out.
