I tried to get rid of my thumb today
Only 6 stitches, still annoying. Nail stopped the knife fortunately. 3 hours at the clinic because it wouldn't stop bleeding long enough to get it sewn up. This just means I don't have to work on the Miata for a week or so, silver linings I guess.

I'm trying out Chemical Guys Jets Seal. It's supposed to work pretty well. Application was super easy with a foam applicator, only took about 15 minutes to do the whole set. I'll polish it off by hand in the morning. I'm sure I won't ever let them get too dirty but this style of wheel is a pain in the ass to clean so anything will help.

Looks like you and @suspenceful are going to be matching Apex wheel buddies

Why do miatas have so many bushings

Parts store didn't have a cup the right size to pull my rear wheel bearing, so I made my own. Also learned that you can cut really close to a shoulder with an angle grinder if you cut a helix around the part.
Done that before for e36 rear bearings, for the outer race. But I have a scar on the back of my hand from when a bearing chunk got me through a glove. Next time I will try a trick I watched someone do which was to weld on the outer bearing and it shrinks and just falls out. Seemed weird but I watched it and it seemed to work.

Heating the race while spinning it will get the race to fall off.

I bought matching wheels for my daily... tires should be here today. Obligatory teaser picture:
-
Very nice, what tires are you getting? I'm torn between Michelin PSS and Hankooks for my new wheels

I got Michelin PSS for my 135i and Nankang NS-20 for the 328i.
Loved the Pilot Super Sports last year so I got them again. I've had these Nankangs before and they have good reviews. Nice cheap tire for my daily.
