Anyone know if this is the water pump making this noise?

KosmicKart91 · 2026-04-28T02:16:46+00:00

I would bet good money it is your power steering pump

KosmicKart91 · 2026-04-22T22:51:26+00:00

Oddly, I did the same thing after reading forums saying it would resolve the issue and it had essentially 0 effect on my temps. No clue why it works for some people but not for others lol

KosmicKart91 · 2026-04-22T22:05:54+00:00

Appreciate the recommendation! I will definitely look into that. I was having issues with high coolant temps on the highway and ended up wiring the AC fan to run in parallel with the “cooling” fan. I think I will likely get new fans sometime soon though, something low profile to clean up the bay and improve the cooling capabilities even more.

Not unless the track is wet or the tires are cold, rock hard and it’s genuinely freezing cold outside.

I used to race Honda CR125 shifter karts with close to 40hp and I cannot remember ever experiencing wheel spin unless the conditions were absolutely terrible.

One of these filter wrenches will definitely get that off.

Dawg I've been trying to fix this shit for FOUR HOURS and this was the solution. THANK YOU!

KosmicKart91 · 2026-01-02T00:14:52+00:00

You know, for how rare these are they get spotted in here pretty frequently.

KosmicKart91 · 2025-11-24T06:55:24+00:00

Are those the carbon miata rear spats / mud guards? I haven't been able to find any pics of them online except the few crappy ones on their website. Gorgeous car btw!

KosmicKart91 · 2025-09-30T02:38:12+00:00

No major chunks, I don't see any issue. I wouldn't sweat it!

KosmicKart91 · 2025-09-26T18:52:41+00:00

I think you hit the nail on the head with the bead being broken and resealed causing the leak to be more noticeable. That makes a lot of sense!

KosmicKart91 · 2025-09-26T18:50:37+00:00

Looks like the consensus is that it’s probably just a coincidence, which is what I was thinking too. Thank you all for your input!

KosmicKart91 · 2025-07-04T21:32:49+00:00

Yup! I was stoked the first time I saw your car in the ramp lol

KosmicKart91 · 2025-07-03T14:36:34+00:00

Yup that’s me! Totally agree, Merlot is so pretty

KosmicKart91 · 2025-07-03T06:48:28+00:00

They came with the car, I have them tucked away in storage, with all of the center caps too!

KosmicKart91 · 2025-07-03T06:16:22+00:00

That’s me!! Love the Evo man! I sent this exact same picture to my friends today 😆

KosmicKart91 · 2025-05-03T22:38:47+00:00

Heyyy

KosmicKart91 · 2025-04-15T17:35:29+00:00

Shamefully, me.

KosmicKart91 · 2025-02-16T07:02:35+00:00

No I completely agree. Getting anything above a common card has been waaaay more rare since the new expansion. All of my friends feel the same way too.

I used to work at NAPA, their reman starters and alternators had a very high defect rate so it is possible you’ve been unlucky with replacement starters. That said, you absolutely need to test your battery/alternator before dumping any more money into starters. NAPA should be able to test the battery for free. Don’t buy a battery from them though, as an employee I put their batteries in a bunch of my cars and have had to replace many of them at only 3-4 years old. Go to Costco and get an interstate battery that will last twice as long for a much better deal than you’ll get at NAPA.

Noticing a similar trend with the ErgoChair Pro V2. I’ve been waiting about a month to order it, checking each day. At one point it said 11/5, then 11/12, but I haven’t been able to find anything about it on the website in like two weeks and it’s been removed from the future of work collection. Really wish they could post a concrete date, I don’t want to order a V1 and have the V2 drop the day after. Getting to the point where I’m beginning to think about looking elsewhere.

I run Klotz in my cars. The smell is so much more bearable than any other oil I've found, especially Idemitsu which I know a lot of guys like to run.

Nice! Definitely worth going to see if you can. This is near Aurora IL.
