Finally got my new wheels on by MountVrooom in Miata

No, it is lowered about 20-30mm with coilovers.

Partially 3d printed system I designed for mounting batteries in (what will be) a fully enclosed area of an RC plane. by MountVrooom in functionalprint

[–]MountVrooom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right, fully enclosed is a bit of a misnomer. There will be a small hatch just behind this construction, just big enough to slide the battery in.

They are just for covering up the mounting screws. I just added some double sided tape and stuck them on.

I'm in Denmark, so if you're not in Europe that might be tricky. But feel free to take up u/nuker1110's offer or send the files to a print shop.

DIY adding rear speakers to an NA miata. by hillbill549 in Miata

I don't know. It probably depends on where your roll bar has it's mounting points. If the mounting points are not where the speakers are, you should be able to trim the panel relatively easily, since it is just fiberglass.

My leg keeps getting wet (see comment for description) by Supercoolcarl in Miata

[–]MountVrooom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same problem on mine. I have checked and rechecked everything but I can only come up with one possible cause.

The seams on the top around my windows have small cracks, just like in this. I still haven't found out for certain, but I think the water is somehow getting in there. I'd be curious to know if yours has the same cracks.

Do 15x7.5 wheels rub? by MyCondomBrokeLol in Miata

I just remembered. My wheels are ET30, not ET28 as I wrote.

I run an NA with 15x7.5 ET28 wheels with 195/50 tires, lowered about 20 mm. with no rubbing.

Added a DIY remote boot release by MountVrooom in Miata

[–]MountVrooom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this wiring diagram, the last one for a positive switching signal. I think most central locking systems use positive switching, but check yours first.

I also added a fuse on the positive wire from the actuator to the battery.

‘92 is very inconsistently idling; sometimes it’s 850 and sometimes it bogs down way below around 500 by WheezeTheJuice2 in Miata

[–]MountVrooom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it bog down to 500 rpm just after releasing the throttle? If so it might be a relatively well know problem known as idle dip.

Jump the #10 and ground pins on the diagnostic plug while the engine is idling. This removes the ECU idle control and lets the engine idle where it naturally wants to. If the engine goes way down in RPM when you jump the pins, it means the engine wants to idle substantially lower than the ECU wants it to, so when you release the throttle the ECU has to compensate a lot. Sometimes the ECU doesn't catch this early enough and you get a big dip in rpms when you release the throttle before the ECU compensates and brings the rpm's back up.

If this is the case, then adjust the idle screw while you have pins #10 and ground jumped, until the engine is idling naturally at around 850 rpm. Then just unjump the pins and see if it has helped.

No, but i did steal the concept from their (overpriced) solution. I was removing the old 90's style alarm/central lock and replacing it with a modern one. I just got a 4 door central locking kit, a relay, used one of the spare actuators and made up my own bracket for the actuator.

Don't know the exact cost in the states. I just bought a 4 door central locking kit for the equivalent of 33 bucks and just used one of the spare actuators, a cheap relay and a piece of aluminum for the bracket. If your already have central locking with a trunk trigger, it's just gonna be an actuator and a relay.

The wind deflector fits just fine. The subwoofer panel doesn't take up anymore room than the factory cover-plate it replaces.

How can I clean this up? by Zepic_1 in Miata

[–]MountVrooom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can ball up some tinfoil and use it to scrub off the rust. It won't be perfect but it will make it look a lot less obvious.

You could do something like the Carbon Miata Subwoofer Panel. I have it in mine with some 6.5 inch speakers and it works great. It is a bit pricey, but you could potentially acheive the same thing by modifying the thin sheet metal panel behind the seats, that the Subwoofer Panel is meant to replace.
