This is a brief update following the last blog entry not long ago.
During last week when the Honda DC2 (integra Type-R) is ready I left the MX5 to the KYB. KYB has this special gear oil "NEO" (a USA formulation for the real-life racing application). This would be the last hope of getting rid of the notchiness in MX5 manual box, especially when it was cold. I picked up the car last Sunday and the gear change was like a wet dream, not close to knife through softened butter but 85% there. Anyway it was a huge improvement and I felt gladly that an expensive gear oil can save the beautiful MX5 from its biggest drawback.
The gear oil change made my day.
I am glad that I don't need to have someone to open up the gearbox to check the tear and wear, and hence find a fix.
Now both C36 and the MX5 get my equal vote of daily use. Really I have difficulty sometimes which car to take out. Sometimes it is easy because my wife will take one first and I have no choice but to take the remaining one. However in a few rare occasions I had a hard time to decide, hence just took the public transport and left both cars at home.
I know it is a stupid thing to do and why the hell I need to have two cars at home. Well I can tell you that sometimes I do feel very good about taking public transport when I know I have a choice. It is a state of mind. No man needs to have three cars at once as a practical means of transport. It is no economical, nor even environmental friendly. I am sure I am not a number one guy favored by Al Gore, ranking at the top of the list contributing to the global warming. Damned me.
