Since the exhaust is already modified thought it MIGHT be too loud with headers. Definitely. It’s already kinda too loud as is. This Flowmaster muffler seems to be very bass heavy, as the droney bass at low rpm is loud and the car seems to get quieter as it approaches redline and picks up that beau...

This is true

The 2.8L inline 6, not sure of the exact engine code or anything, will have to ask bro

so essentially 2 miatas

Yep! Just one is a fancy older German 6 cylinder one.

It is indeed hellrot red.

Small update. Z3 gauge cluster came back from Autotronic, works fully now, except it now reads 960,000 miles. Yes. You read that right. :rage: It’s now back in the UK getting that fixed on their dime. Took some time to make “world’s cleanest million mile Z3” jokes for the couple days we had the work...

If it is just a cracked solder joint, you would just need to heat up the solder enough for it to flow back together. Maybe add a touch more, but then you have to be careful not to overdo it and the solder flows to a place it shouldn't and make another connection. Yeah. I was thinking about it but b...

Gave the :meata: a two bucket wash today in prep for the Orlando Roadsters meet plus the fact that it hasn’t been washed in what feels like at least a month. https://i.postimg.cc/ThQtY8RX/232-C1320-F0-E3-4381-9-FA0-FA06-C64-A0-E94.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/H8W34z9K/CFF4-D84-E-8-D88-46-EA-9353-AF96368...

I was thinking Tomato to keep it simple but a lot of these are great. He doesn’t want to name it yet. $900 in preventative maintenance has been ordered from FCP Euro, and $300 in mods. Exhaust bits (muffler, resonator, and tips to cut and weld into factory exhaust) and a carplay headunit for mods. M...

Little bro’s car is here. Behold, the :fancy: Miata. Need names for this one roughly related to Cheese. https://i.postimg.cc/MnLPjKst/1812-E6-FA-BB11-480-C-9036-2116-AAAC8-AD8.jpg More pics to come tomorrow/soon. https://i.postimg.cc/Wdx81Y3H/57-CE5262-525-E-4-A96-8-CFB-058-C36-F820-E3.jpg https://i...

Bro’s new car is home. Will prob post it in the Cheese thread shortly.

Went to go look at a :hibachi: today for the brother. Was doing mostly good mechanically, motor sounded healthy, shifts were crisp taking it around the block, only downside being clutch bite point was way up at the top of pedal travel. Might just be characteristic of a :hibachi:. Also had 113k miles...

We go look at the second candidate for next car at 5pm tomorrow. First one sold before we had a chance to go check it out.

is packed with a floor jack, jack stands, ramps, flashlight, magnet, extra oil, and distilled water as extra coolant. Trunk Tetris is fun.

Anyone doing anything cool this weekend? Might go to Top Golf. Never been, and terrible at golfing, but blasting balls as hard as I can sounds entertaining. Top Golf is fun. I suck at it, but the vibe with a group of friends is 5/7. Food is typical bar food, not terrible not great. Good way to spen...

So you can put two jackstands at a time under the front and rear with a center jack point? If I lift on either side on the pinch weld roughly under the mirror or in line with the shifter, I can place jack stands on that side’s “official” lift points at the front and rear of the pinch weld. Repeatin...

It amazes me how incredibly easy it is to get this thing up on all 4 jack stands. I love it. The VWs had no solid way to do this as the center of the pinch weld reportedly couldn’t take all the weight, and there were no front or rear center jack points. https://i.postimg.cc/K4NS7Q0x/5-F3-FFCFA-6-C32...

smol angry v8 would be neat, maybe an ? Or something more exotic for extra high rpm…

:hai: Updating this thread because my brother didn’t, the Mexican :mk6: Lite is being offed to CarMax as I speak. Past few days have been spent returning it to as stock and put together as possible. https://i.postimg.cc/18Y2pnWy/983862-E2-CDE6-42-B0-8-DD8-658969-DF8-CD1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/8fHn...

Lisa has been out at her parents for a few days with Julian. On Saturday I took a train out there and stayed the night. We went strawberry picking, he and his cousin (also under 2yo) had a blast munching on strawberries as we all picked the juiciest looking ones. Then Saturday evening the dog had a...

How was you all’s weekends? The past couple days have been incredibly boring for me, being stuck in bed with an injured left ankle. I can’t recall injuring it, just went to bed the day of the Miata oil change with minor pain and woke up with “I can’t walk” levels of pain. :dafuq: That morning, I had...

Top mounted oil filters should be federal law along with wrapping paper that has the grid on the back side.

Indeed. Top mount makes life so much easier.

A couple days ago, the :meata: got its first oil change under my ownership. Being my first time under the car, I did some exploration while I was there, and was just laying there in :amaze: All the aluminum suspension bits :fancy:, the little Nurburgrings on the shocks, the power plant frame thing b...

Whoa whoa whoa. Stop right here. Most guys look at their trainers physique to judge whether or not they know what they are doing. Pretty much got that nailed yeah? You've placed highly in every competition you've entered. You know RIDICULOUS amounts about nutrition because frankly, you're intereste...

:cheese: has got a Garmin Mini dashcam put in by Richard when he owned it, solid video quality. Tiny size means it hides really nicely behind the rear view mirror. Downside is it really struggles with the Florida heat. I hear it kills SD cards with the heat and there has been a couple occasions wher...

Battery picked up this morning, got working on pulling the factory mount out, went to put in the Track Dog Racing one, and realized it bumps up against the high pressure AC line :rage: https://i.postimg.cc/qgksZPmz/54420802-7-B08-4500-A968-E0-BDCADE7609.jpg In the guide they have up on their site, t...

I'd google it/check the Miata forums, some cars use power steering fluid, some tranny fluid, etc. I tend to get the Redline version often times, you can put in the car info on their site and it will tell you what's recommended. That said, when in doubt, OEM is always good. General consensus on foru...
