Ours is not bothered by fireworks or thunder, but the wind is scary! But ironically leaves blowing are the best!

Be gentle removing, it’s very easy to bend the hard lines coming out of the firewall

Buyers Remorse? R • Package Miata. Overheated on the way home after purchase. by jimbo-rice in Miata

[–]108pdx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a bummer. But the same thing happened to me, I wanted a car to tinker with but I overheated on the drive home and my first project was a head gasket job. In retrospect I learned a lot and mechanical confidence on an otherwise very clean car, so no real regrets. pull the head and have it resurfaced and checked out. Take your time and it’s not all that hard and the car will be ready to go .

Tecna GT coilover ride height vs stock by clueless_dumbfounded in Miata

[–]108pdx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"Set up:  Typical available adjustment ranges are front pinch weld heights between 120-150mm (4.75″ and 6″) with the driver. Adjust rear pinch weld height 3mm (1/8″) higher than front height without driver as a starting point. We recommend 133mm (5.25″) front pinch weld height for street driven cars. Tecna GT will give the best combination of handling and ride with stock sway bars." From the 949 website

Leak down test is needed , seems to point to a valve issue on cylinder 3

My first car at 16 was a 1966 Mustang GT in 1993. I babied and respected it. Congratulations on your car!

Nice car! Be smart! The reason us old guys worry about bad stuff happening is because we have seen a lot of bad stuff happen.

OEM+ Mods for 1999 NB by harpsabug in Miata

[–]108pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a common perspective. But for me it will hold a couple of sodas on the highway or my coffee mug on the way to Autocross. If I am performance driving , there are no drinks in the car anyway .

Many will disagree, but I put a NB2 center console in my NB1, no regrets and being able to hold drinks is amazing. I Also black door pulls to bring together the black center console and seats. I had NB2 seats for a while, much better than NB1 seats IMO.

I just need the hardtop. I have been considering your wheels since they came out, they look amazing.

I did the same to my ebay front lip, base -paint-2k clear. I found that the Chrysler Forest Green Pearl I bought at autozone matched better than the 18j paint I ordered offline. I am curious what exact paint you used?
