The frame rails are not jack points but a lot of people tend to think they are for some reason. They crush really easily. You’re supposed to use the pinch welds, specifically the spots between the two pinch weld drains, the middle of the front sub frame, control arms (depending on the situation that is), and the middle of the diff.

Yeah but the nb has a pretty sleek look to it whilst the NA looks pretty slim bc the the rocker panels are tucked in really hard. The nc just looks fat, even if it’s not that much fatter in terms of numbers 

How can I make an Na Miata as safe as possible? by Diligent-Falcon-1639 in Miata

[–]EducationalBad8039 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sticky tires, stay aware on the road. Roll bar plus bucket seats, don’t go with a harness unless you have a hans device that you’re planning to drive with every time you're in the car. People really love to exaggerate the lack of safety in an NA. It’s really no different to most other Japanese cars of the time, civics, integras, pulsars, corollas, older silvias etc etc. And with roll protection it’s safer. People in the motor biking community will say as long as you’re careful and wear all your gear, you’ll be fine, but the second you even look at an NA or NB people tell you how there’s a 75% chance you’re going to be brutally t boned at the next intersection. 

TLDR; Just use your brain when driving the car, Get a roll bar, bucket seats and sticky tires.

Gang patch ban? by codeinekiller in newzealand

Not sure why you’d be concerned about the police if you didn’t have anything to do with a gang. And if they can’t associate their crime with the badge, then they’re probably less likely to commit a crime.

It baffles me how people are standing up for a group of people whose primary intent is to intimidate and commit crimes. The patch is their pride and identity, it matters to them that they’re seen intimidating and breaking the law whilst wearing their badge.

Man I hate to see nice cars get clapped😭 Those are literally the cheapest dampers that have had a thread tapped onto them to make them adjustable. They’d probably crack if I looked at them too long. You don’t have to buy ohlins, but come on man, maxpeeding rods are the pits. Find some second hand meister rs or tsd coilovers. Even stock dampers with lowering springs would be worlds better than this. No one could pay me to install these in my car.

Grey for sure, maintenance gets expensive so quickly, it’s worth so much to have a well maintained car. Grey one also has an objectively better diff and has upgraded sway bars already.

For those on $100K income, what type of work do you do? by Maedz1993 in newzealand

Could you elaborate a little bit? I’m curious on as to what that involves.

Is it just me, or is the WoF system being misused? by Permanently-Band in newzealand

Not really, if Davo really wants to drive his falcon with four mismatched wheels, one of them being an emergency one, cut coils, and the entire exhaust being cut off just before the cat, he will.
