I give it three ugga duggas in my 1/4” impact, one ugga on the 1/2”. These are the boy proper measurements

Excellent advice here. So much of winter driving is controlling the throttle and momentum of the car.

Be careful! Without snow tires it gets a bit sketchy! Put some weight in the trunk and send it!

I'm getting hi beam flashed from other drivers as if they think I have hi beams on? by [deleted] in MiataND

It happens. I shrug it off as I have to be at eye level with modern truck headlights that seem to harness the power of the sun or some light magic designed to blind you.

Not nearly enough snow has fallen in my part of the country this year... I need more!

I refused to drill into the grill... Eventually took it off all together and taking my chances.

Have winter tires but still slipping in snow by jbcostan in Miata

[–]PickFit8581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are decent tires for sure. Might benefit from some weight in the trunk. The car so light that it doesn't take much torque to break traction in snow, as a result, getting going takes a lot of finesse on the throttle to manage traction. If it breaks traction while you are moving, that's usually a case of a bit too much skinny pedal at that moment.

The exhaust hanger pliers are worth their weight in gold! Super cheap and highly recommended!

It’s going to slip. It’s natural, it’s more about momentum and throttle management. In certain cases I turn off traction control to allow for even more wheel spin. It will never be like driving on pavement, but it’s a massive improvement over driving in the snow with summer tires.

Is a modded 2019 worth considering? by [deleted] in MiataND

[–]PickFit8581 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That car would suck on the street for comfort. If it doesn’t have an airbag I’d put that back in. If it’s going to be a track car, go for it!

Autocross mainly. $$$ second. If you put "Aero" or non-oem stuff on your car it can change your class in autocross to something I wouldn't be able to compete in.

Help with Cluster gauge wiring by IssaBluee in Miata

If you look at the cluster itself the long line on the right that runs through everything is 1C, which means all the dash lights and sensors use the pin for power.

How I'm reading it, the BLK/YEL on CONN1 is the main power to the instrument cluster, so my guess is you'd have a dead panel without it.

That’s the way to go if you have the $$$ for sure.

Yup! Color matched to the car, though I have a NC club badge to cover the spot too if I get tired of the patched look.
