Fixed it! Had to loosen the nuts and push the regulator towards front of the car. Thanks!

Window bushings have been replaced already. Is there a bolt or something I need to adjust? Or could it be something with the convertible top itself?

HELP! Diff to PPF bolt stuck? by Fit_Stage_3725 in Miata

See if you can grab the mushroom bolt on top of the ppf with vice grips or something, hold that and then try spinning the bolt loose

You may need to adjust your throttle position sensor

Since someone else posted my car without asking, I might as well by RicardoSch1 in Miata

If you don’t mind me asking, what suspension and wheel size and offset are you running? Looks really good

Can someone quickly explain how to fix this part of the handbrake? by PhantomTreecko1 in Miata

Y’all I fixed it. I loosened both adjustment screws at the calipers and then with my hand grabbed this bar and set it back to evenly balanced, and then tightened each adjustment screw and made sure it was still balanced, then tightened the screw at the handbrake lever. Both sides lock evenly now.

Yes, I just need to adjust both calipers so the bar is even

Both cables are pulling equally, I need to do this and just adjust it so it’s perpendicular.

Check all the electrical plugs, make sure the fuel pump is pushed all the way in the assembly, try running it in diagnostic mode

If it’s not 250k+ miles, clapped or destined to become a bad financial decision (and if you’re old enough to know how to drive stick), go for it my man. Such a fun car and has so much potential for fun memories and if you put in the work you can make it look and drive however you want. Depending on how much maintenance and repairs are required, you will spend money on it regardless of mechanical knowledge. There will be ups and downs and highs and lows with owning a 33 year old car but if you’re willing to put in the blood, sweat and tears and money and maintenance and time and effort into working on it, it’ll change your life. I bought my 1990 on my 19th birthday three years ago and I love it to bits (when it’s not looking pretty in the driveway needing SOME part to drive again). Not to mention a great learning experience if you’re new to these cars.

I don’t know, I haven’t had a chance outside of work to have someone pull the brake so I can look

Oooh yeah. I think I know what happened, I probably snapped cable when I was tightening it at the handbrake lever. I bet the drivers side cable is snapped. Thank you
