Well, my friend just got his first car, a '92 Miata, so we decided to go out and take some pictures. The truck's not that clean, but it's good enough.

 

Since the last pictures, I've de-badged the doors and tailgate, I took off the bug guard temporarily, and replaced the LS badges on the cab with something else... :lol:

Wow! and they thought I would turn into a picture posting bandit. ha!ha! How's the band doing? :dunno:

 

 

Yeah, I tend to go a little overboard with the pictures... :lol:

 

And the band's going good! The recordings turned out great (you can listen to 3 of them in the link in my sig), and the album artwork is almost done, so we should be sending everything out to get printed sometime early next week. Should be about 3 weeks till we get everything finished.

 

 

 

Nice shots Dan trucks looking great, like that green. I think you should take more though...lol

 

 

You want more? I'll take more... :cheers:

Holy SH*T! That thing is pretty quick as it is! I can't imagine it would hook up too well with that amount of power, seeing as it only weighs about 2300 pounds :cheers:

Truck looks like it beasted he Miata in that one photo...

 

Your truck is a beast! I remember when I went to the VR track in Virginia with my friend and the heart of NC mustang club there was a club of Miata's up there.

There was this one guy that was like straight racing with his miata and I am sure that he had a lot of money into it I know it had turbo, acually nice sounding exhaust for a ricer, roll cage slammed racing suspension. It looked bad, I was watching him go through some of the turns next thing I know he looses control of it and slams it into the tire wall. Tore that thing up!

HA! It is a Hybrid. It uses an electric motor to start the snarling gas hog V8. :cool:

 

 

No way man, I swapped in the motor out of a Prius! :)

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
