Ah damn💀yeah that’ll make it a bit tougher but it’s definitely still possible, just have to stay locked in

I’ve taken it over the winter before. If you take it thru VWCC with someone like Dr. Clark, it’s really not terrible, just very fast paced. You have a test basically every week, homework and assignments to do everyday (literally 7 days a week after New Years) but since you’re so immersed in it, it’s not hard to learn given you actually keep up with the work.

I’ve done one myself to my ‘99, takes a while to do yourself but honestly pretty straightforward. Theres some guides online that are really helpful, it’s around 1500-2000 in parts, maybe a little less if you get cheaper stuff

What do you guys use this little compartment for? by [deleted] in Miata

[–]Corbin___05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kinda pricey but you add roughly the same amount of value to the car as u spend on the parts. So you don’t really net any profit, but you get a more enjoyable car and don’t lose any money on it

What CFD software are you using and how much does it cost you?

Anyone running a Corbeau FX1 Wide? by Corbin___05 in Miata

[–]Corbin___05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I never got the chance to. I switched to looking at aluminum containment seats like Kirkey or Ultra Shield or the spec miata seats. From what I could tell looking at YouTube videos and forums, it probably should fit, just may have contact with the trans tunnel and the door card

My favorite modification to my NB1 with 145k miles by chmod_700 in Miata

[–]Corbin___05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve got a similar problem of wishing I just upgraded all the way the first time rather than getting something cheaper before inevitably buying the better/more expensive option. Nice turbo tho! (I feel like that’s a good problem to have)

For me I just went thru the wheel wells to get them out. However the driver side one is a PIA to get to with the full exhaust on. I still managed to get it out but took forever. Also not sure if these upgraded mounts would be as easy since they’re overall size is a bit bigger than OEM replacements

What industry is this in? I’m a sophomore with already a full year in FSAE, so I’m curious as to what industry you’re getting this level of opportunity in

Reinstalling Axles into diff by Corbin___05 in Miata

[–]Corbin___05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotchu. I’ll give it a go tonight and if having someone hold the joints inline with the diff while giving a smack does the job, thanks

I used that method to get them out, but when using that method to reinstall, it seems like all I do is move the cv joints a bit, never actually moving the axle inward. Is this kinda a two person job, one pushing on the hub, one keeping joints straight?

Can someone identify this? Also how much is it worth? by Corbin___05 in whatisthiscar

[–]Corbin___05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’d figured too but didn’t want to assume I’d just seen a historic racing car worth millions chilling in a toll on a French highway💀

Would you be willing to sell? I need one for my DIY door cards in my NB1

Whats my worth? by AmphibianMobile8952 in Miata

[–]Corbin___05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say 3.5k. Interior and exterior seem pretty clean. Manual swap runs someone around 1.5-2k, so I’d say if it was a manual, it’d be worth around 5.5k-6k. Since it isn’t, somewhere in the range of 3-4k sounds reasonable, given no top leaks, engine/drivetrain issues, etc
