JPS Coupe

Gerd had some unexpected repair cost with the Kerswill pump.  The Miata is just temporary until he gets it all straightened out.

THAT DAMN PUMP

Gerddddd drives a Miata because he couldn't wait for the new VW Beetle that was coming out,

it was his first choice because it had a bud holder that he wanted to put his Panzies in....

It also has a second DC connection for his pump...

IM TELLING EVERYONE DONT SHARE SECRETS WITH VINCE THE DAMN BLABBER MOUTH

FYI, Chuck and Maggie Martin let me drive their coupe at the Pumpkin Run. I was impressed, it is a solid little car and a lot nicer than the previous example I saw. Cool ride!

Another question for JPS Coupe owners; I've seen some photos of the interior but don't see window cranks; are the windows operable?

The windows are electric.  The switches are under the dash.

Thanks! I've also wondered why the JPS Coupes don't have the little depression for the radio at the bottom edge of the dash. It would make it that much more accurate.

U CAN ALSO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS WITH YOUR KEY FOB FOR A FEW BUCKS MORE

If I had a choice, I'd go for regular window cranks; the more electronic and high tech you go the more things that can go wrong.

My power window buttons are under the dash and I find them a real PITA.  They're very hard to find and use, especially when wearing gloves.  If I had it to do again I would have had Henry mount the switches in the door panels.

Henry? I thought your car is a JPS, not an IM.

Ron, Peter Venuti and I have the power windows on the crank.  Very cool! It looks right and it gets a lot of thumbs up at shows and gatherings.  Did someone say gloves?

 

I wish Henry had mentioned that option.

Ron.  Really not a stock option.  Peter turned me on to it at Carlisle in 2011.  I guess its an old hot-rod trick.  Him and I are the only IM's that have it to my knowledge.  Henry should offer it in the options package, but based on his new website I think he is trying to streamline the long options list and offer a package using the most popular items.  

That's right Marty, it is an old hot rod trick.  Steve used to use it on the street rods he built and carried the idea over to his 356 replicas.  The switch, made by Hotronics, I believe, is a really cool idea.  It is also easy to find for a quick adjustment.  On our fairly narrow cars, it is pretty easy to reach across to do the passenger side window also. 

Now THAT IS COOL!  Need.

Here's an inexpensive option for power windows...

 

Hey that's what I use. And I thought I was being original.

Hi Chris,

 

Did you suggest John to put in your coupe?

Canadian ingenuity at its best!

If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

Ah, another Red Green fan. 

Keep your stick on the ice!

We're pullin' for ya

 

Well I'll be damned. He uses an electric mixer for that, too?
