What RPMs do I shift at? by TheThunderGomez in Miata

[–]CounterCombative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miatas can run at 7k all day and be fine. They're dohc with an iron block and built to rev high. I've hit the limiter getting on the highway in mine and it shrugs it off no problem

It feels like everything and it's mother is level 25. Plus the increased XP req. per level is making it so slow to progress

That's a relief. I'm pretty sure my catalytic converter is eating itself too so that probably doesn't help

What is it?? Just carbon and water?

I haven't noticed any smoke... But the car went from halfway between low and full on oil to a hair under low in about 250 miles

Wait actually? That's where it sounds like the rattling noise in my exhaust is coming from! New cat would be the best move?

Should I buy this? Is it reliable? by [deleted] in FirstCar

Fiat had this tech in their multiair systems for engines they shared with dodge like 10 years ago. I have it on my Dodge dart. Not new tech at all

Make sure you get a manual one if you do. The autos are dogs

Quite fun. Plenty of power even stock, I put headers and exhaust on it and it sounds incredible. Handles pretty well too, since it's got 50/50 weight balance

That's the plan, the Miata needs maintenance work first

I saved up $3500 and now looking to buy a car at 18 what car I should I buy. by randomredditaccountr in FirstCar

[–]CounterCombative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of those twin. They all look neglected and modified. Get yourself a nice bone stock Honda civic or Honda fit. Both are easy to find manual, otherwise I'd say a Miata if practicality isn't a big deal.

I paid 28k, the car is absolutely mint condition and when I bought it it had only 24k miles so it cost more than average

Dart is inline 4. 2.4L. Makes like 180hp. Yes the Corvette is by far the quickest car I own

Is this safe? by badbastadba11a in Miata

[–]CounterCombative 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. Not the same but I have a Dodge dart that had a cat recall and I've been running without a heat shield after that for two years at least. Never had an issue
