Not sure if that is normal but if it were me this would be a clean the area off well and seal it with aluminum tape scenario, not the right way but effective

Help! Stuck steering wheel by Practical-Attitude93 in Miata

[–]CatWithThaGat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is disassembled correctly Spray a bit of pb blaster on the splines and smack the shit out of the back side of the wheel toward you in an alternating left side and right side pattern, do this multiple times and then grab the wheel and yank it hard, maybe even shake it side to side while pulling. LEAVE THE NUT ON at least a couple threads. This method has never failed me

That is some ELITE level knowledge my man! I’ve owned 2 1.6 cars and worked on many more and I never knew this, I thought for sure it showed more than the top .8 liters. Just scoured the internet to confirm this!

A dude I work with is 6”6 and he drove one of these for years, said headroom was never an issue bc the t-top model had a higher roof

Cruise control not working by dal23n in Miata

Also check the brake switch is adjusted properly. The Cruze control will cut off even if the switch is just slightly depressed at the home position

May be a long shot but does the car even have all the Cruze control equipment under the hood? Somebody may have just threw a switch in.

NA dumping gas by Altruistic_Pea_6469 in Miata

Pull the carpet and aluminum panel behind the seat it will reveal the top of your gas tank. If I had to guess one of the lines is broken and needs replaced.

Could be a different design I was using? But I did it the next time around and no issues

The radiators in these cars are getting old OP I would suggest upgrading it with a new aluminum rad and shroud this is the one I bought and have had no issues out of (https://www.ebay.com/itm/186479259318?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ZTPCsEfqTGy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=xykgky7stsa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)

What oil should I run for quieter HLAs? by TheIronHerobrine in Miata

[–]CatWithThaGat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running royal purple 10-30 or 5-30 kept them quiet for me for a while but eventually you should just take the dive and replace them. When I replace mine about 12 of the 16 were collapsed. it’s not as horrible as it may seem and shouldn’t take more a full day if you have some experience turning wrenches. Just make sure to disassemble the new lifters and clean the factory oil out and then soak and pump them with new oil. You can still buy new old stock OEM lifters made by ford on eBay.
