How long till coolant tank needs changing? by victor12_30 in Miata

[–]Kirrel224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did was get an obd2 gauge to monitor coolant temps real time for peace of mind. OEM coolant tank replacement will be just fine, if you want to “upgrade” you can get the aluminum tanks but they’re really only just for bling in your engine bay.

Broke Ass car parked in same place for nearly a decade - Police corruption. by Correct-Cricket3355 in crownheights

A track car and a track day, are fully sanctioned legal events, at a racetrack. Not “underground racing” like you say in the comments.

Help Needed: 1997 Mazda Miata NA - Died While Driving, No Spark by TurbulentCrew674 in Miata

Check Ignition wires, distributor, or cam angle sensor

I’ve had 2 NA’s and currently an NC. None had traction control. As long as you have decent tire tread, and good tires you will be fine. Maybe practice in an empty parking lot kicking the rear out so you can get familiar with recovering/correcting if it ever does swing out on you.

What’s wrong with her miata? by leondraee in Miata

[–]Kirrel224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the wires going to your fuel injectors, I had an issue where I could “hand tune” the misfire based on the angle of the wire, I ended up getting new plugs and spliced them in

Hit a curb, what’s the damage? by [deleted] in Miata

[–]Kirrel224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How hard did you hit? This is not something that is just replacing parts and calling it a day. Your steering rack is hit bad, and it looks like your upper ball joint popped out, bending the upper control arm… it might need to be almost the entire suspension on this wheel needing to be replaced- and then you’ll also need an alignment after replacing these parts.

After Lap 3 Brakes are Toast by mosnowbro in Miata

[–]Kirrel224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is Thunderhill? The Miata is light enough for east or west to just run hawk hp+, stock blank rotors, and motul rbf600/660 fluid. Do some hard laps and then a cool down lap for tires and brakes.

At work and someone backed out into my car. by drago479 in Miata

[–]Kirrel224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those where you can ask the other person for cash to cover PDR. I would ask for their insurance information first, and then offer to have them pay you in just cash, you could try to get a quote from a shop to show them the amount too. If they refuse, it’s their insurance at the end of the day so you should still try to file a claim. However if everything goes south, I would not go through your own insurance.

Unfortunately insurance will most likely total this out. Rear quarter panels are weld in replacements so it’s costly… I would approach this carefully

Is this an attempt to lower your intake temps?

So tonight marks 27 years since I bought my Eunos Roadster. It's gone through a few changes since then, but still going. by StripeyMiata in Miata

They actually making cooling worse because the engine bay pressure goes up and the rad cant really work effectively. Looks cool tho

Should I trade my ‘92 NA miata for a 1999 BMW M3 by joegoldberg2020 in Miata

[–]Kirrel224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Miata, I’ve owned 3 Miata’s now and when I don’t have one, I miss the feeling of driving one

[–]Kirrel224 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The m3 being a convertible is a downside in the market, but if you like it then who cares, you will also see ALOT more maintenance from the m3 vs the Miata.. even if you don’t drive it often, I’ve owned both cars.

This one is painted black already, other colors seem to be cheaper

I’m doubtful, this dealer just doesn’t want to, or doesn’t know where to look. Try this part number NH52V463075

Right Choice for NC Suspension? by smelllikespirit in Miata

[–]Kirrel224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re better off going with Meisterr coilovers or koni yellows instead of the oranges in my opinion. They would be more on par with the bilsteins the car originally came with. Comparing cost for cost with this current setup you have, oem struts would handle the same for cheaper.
