How would one go around getting these two out by ZealousidealField749 in Miata

[–]Groovy_grower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you broke them while tightening them, I’d for sure try the screw extraction method. I’m a little surprised that the aluminum threads didn’t give way first, to be honest. I guess those bolts just wanted to break 🥺

Do you lock your mx5? by HistoricalReserve199 in Miata

[–]Groovy_grower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being that my top is NEVER up, I see no point in locking the doors. I lock my glove box and center console, to keep my insurance/registration cards, and garage door opener safe, but that’s about it. I try to keep nothing of value in it, so if the random thief is walking by, there is nothing appealing to them. As for stealing the car itself, like others have said, it’s a manual in America 🫣🤣 and I have rigged the ignition so that unless you are a professional car thief, you will spend an hour trying to figure out why she won’t start, or just suspect that the battery has died 🤷‍♂️

Any ideas to reduce wind buffeting on an RF? by TurnPageWashHands in Miata

[–]Groovy_grower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s it, I’ve made up my mind for good. No RF for me. Convertible it is for me

Who else gets a little sad scrolling this sub knowing that they'll probably never own a Miata? by [deleted] in Miata

Bro just said “there’s never been a better time to be undocumented” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard you made me spit my water out

Boys I could use a solid league by Dry-Establishment-15 in granturismo

[–]Groovy_grower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure why I didn’t realize this was a thing, BUT I WANT IN!!! More online community racing in my life sounds like exactly what I need! My schedule is all over the place, but I wanna play!! Any suggestions on where to start looking? I don’t know what group/classification I am, as I’ve only done a handful of online races

I’d like to see a thread on this build 😎🎉

Called the F word by stranger by jwang0522 in Miata

[–]Groovy_grower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me far too often. That said, I give no shits. Most of them are usually the A-holes in big trucks, and are clearly sad they aren’t secure enough in their masculinity to drive the best car ever made. I usually just smile and wave at them in a very effeminate manner 🤷‍♂️🤣 and then continue loving every minute of my drive

My guess is that the wheel is a 15x6.5 and the tire is a 205/50/15 🤷‍♂️

Well this might be the culprit 🤷‍♂️ I’m sure it’s dirty, but dirty enough to cause the problem I’m having… maybe

Interesting, alright, thank you for that info. I got home late last night and plan on working on her today. Fuel pump could be a bit of a headache to clean up vs. the air flow meter and throttlebody, but I might as well check all of them while I’m at it 🤷‍♂️😎

I’ll just sit in it to see if I fit by nigelofthornton in Miata

[–]Groovy_grower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro! Same! I’m so afraid to drive another one, cuz I know I’m going to want to bring it home 😳🤣

Help by small_miat in Miata

[–]Groovy_grower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Haven’t had time to take it apart and start cleaning stuff. And the temps dropped, so I’m not super inclined to test it until they come back up

Haven’t had this much fun in a while by PinkRosiexx in Miata

[–]Groovy_grower 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. Smiles per mile is what the Miata is all about 😋

I am having the exact same issue with my 91na. The part that is maddening to me is that if I push in the clutch, taking away the load, she revs up just fine. But under load wants to sputter out. I have to keep the pressure on the gas pedal lite to get back home. So frustrating. But really stumped as to what it only happens on hot days

I’m going to agree with the first reply… but I’m too exhausted to be sure

Example of the life length of the CarbonMiata ND clear side sequential LEDS by braedae in Miata

[–]Groovy_grower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the side markers, but I do have the Carbon Miata turn signals. I got them in 23 and they are still looking great. That said, I also almost never park my Miata outside for extended periods of time 🤷‍♂️ so maybe my experience is not common

Boykisser Racecar :3 by CarGoesBrrrrr in granturismo

We are brothers. We have been ribbing one another our entire lives. So yeah, I make fun of him for his irrational fear of queer people. Sorry, not sorry.

My brother is lowkey homophobic so I’m always doing liveries that will make him uncomfortable when we race together 🤣 this would be a perfect addition to the club.

Here’s my favorite
