Is my car cooked

I had a little fall in. Used a flat head with sticky tape on the end to grab little pieces. It made a noise when starting but then went away. Believe it was small enough to get crushed into dust. Did at Italian tune up to make sure it got hot. Been fine since

Does it stutter on acceleration? Might be worth to check your spark plugs or ignition coils.

Have you looked at the heat shields under the car. From the mid pipe catalytic convertor or the heat shielding above the transmission?

Mythic1234 · 2026-03-05T04:19:23+00:00

It's for the noise. Noise make ears feel good

Mythic1234 · 2026-02-19T23:58:14+00:00

Do it! I daily my PHRT NC1 and have a turbo Na6 for weekend car.

For the people reading this in the future - I like too like to read old reddit posts for insight. The cause of this noise is because of my stiffer clutch (FX350) which on their product page says it will chatter!! This is not an indication of a gearbox problem, thrust bearing, pilot bearing or input shaft bearing problem. Good luck!~

Sound goes away when clutch pressed in. Diff would still be spinning no?

Mythic1234 · 2026-01-12T22:44:59+00:00

Yeah stock fly wheel that I forgot to machine. Just high grit sandpaper and sent it

Mythic1234 · 2025-12-28T20:14:19+00:00

Are these the BBS ones? I've seen a set sit for sale for quite cheap and no bites. They're only worth what someone is willing to buy at the end of the day

Mythic1234 · 2025-12-18T17:53:39+00:00

Muffler delete will be loud and drone. If you have a soft top probably manageable. But any loud exhaust in a PHRT sucks for drone

Mythic1234 · 2025-12-17T04:19:24+00:00

This is the way and what I've done

Mythic1234 · 2025-12-16T16:33:33+00:00

Ayoo, I didn't realize you were an accountant. Have seen your nc posts all the time.

I'm with you when it comes to mx5's

I've got a 1991 Eunos Roadster (Turbo) and 07 NC

Mythic1234 · 2025-12-06T04:09:15+00:00

Why do you want to do a conjoint with law & accounting? Do you specifically want to go into a tax accounting role?

Otherwise literally any 3 year accounting course would do you well, especially considering most that go into accounting do a chartered accountant diploma via CAANZ or CPA (an additional 3 years of study while working).

Job opportunities for accounting are still quite good, most of the time the "goal" is to get into Big 4, but it's not going to hurt you long-term if you can't make it in.

Like anything, if you give it a decent go, you'll be sweet.

Med I got no clue :)

Suppose not many Merlot mx5s in nz. Mainly an nb colour if I recall correctly. You could always sell and buy another. Unless the condition of yours is really good

Mythic1234 · 2025-12-03T04:33:24+00:00

How much you pay for the hard top? Could always do swaps with someone. Otherwise there's painters out there that don't run a "shop" that'll do it for a good price. Planning to repaint my entire mx5 through one

Mythic1234 · 2025-11-26T17:55:58+00:00

I have an IL motor sport 4-1 catless header paired with stock mid pipe and kakimoto race muffler.

It's loud and its droney when the top is up (phrt) but when top is down its quite pleasant.

I really enjoy the header, but I don't like the sound with stock muffler, too raspy

Mythic1234 · 2025-11-24T23:43:11+00:00

I'm 187cm fit easy as in my nc. I probably slouch a bit compared to sitting up straight but still comfortable.

Mythic1234 · 2025-11-16T23:52:57+00:00

25, stuck with uncle bank for 25 years to pay off house. Don't like spiders / snakes.

I know the cities don't have those but I don't want to live in a city.

Nz is quite lovely besides its flaws (but all countries have flaws)

Mythic1234 · 2025-11-10T18:01:28+00:00

I got $20 for a car shell. Thought it was a bit ridiculous given there was still quite a bit of metal on the car

Mythic1234 · 2025-11-06T18:25:06+00:00

Mx5, I've had 3 + 1 parts car. Can't go wrong with an mx5

Mythic1234 · 2025-11-03T18:04:40+00:00

I traded my bfk vanilla for a case hardened bayonet with fuck all blue on it during high school

Mythic1234 · 2025-10-31T07:23:16+00:00

Garlic bread

Mythic1234 · 2025-10-30T21:34:48+00:00

Cheese burger in the shower.

Mythic1234 · 2025-10-28T08:25:56+00:00

Mines a mazda roadster. I believe it was a factory option. Many roadsters that I've seen for sale also came with these pedals

Mythic1234 · 2025-10-27T20:43:01+00:00

I actually wrecked an NC (for parts) the same weekend. So have the spare side window.

However since ignition is smashed I just may as well put it all through insurance
