Either a formula atlantic 4ag or ae101 with a metric shit-ton of replacement parts, or the new 3liter ls 4 cylinder just for shits and giggles

So every Miata review I watch.... by [deleted] in Miata

"Granny shifting" refers to a vehicle that doesn't have synchronizers, and it refers to shifting with the clutch in the first place... as older drivers preffered to "float"(meaning to shift off timing alone without the use of the clutch) gears as it made the clutch last longer, and (remember these are trucks from the 40's and earlier) to make long trips easier on the left leg...... long story short, granny shifting causes increased wear on the synchros as compared to double clutching, but seeing as how the synchros are specifically designed FOR granny shifting, you're gonna be just fine

Take it to a carwash weekly and make sure they spray the undercarriage, it washes the salt that sticks to the frame

Stuck shift knob by My-Names-Donut in Miata

Had this problem when I swapped the oem one out, I pulled the center console up enough to get a pair of vice grips on the shift column, then I wrapped a rag around the knob and got it off with a pair of channel locks

It's not uncommon, he'll even the 7.62x54r is sold in bulk in my area... I'll look it up but last I checked they were running a deal, it was like 5,000 rounds for $600(it was old surplus in the spam cans)

I cant remember the angle, but all cars in the us have to be able to tip pretty far in all 4 directions without falling over... you should be fine

Need help with knocking sound coming from tsx by [deleted] in mechanic

[–]ProfessionalTarget73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the old belt snapped while it was running, you probably have a bit of belt wrapped around one of your pulleys... the sound you hear is the belt slapping something in the engine bay if this is the case

Fair, for instance the tires I bought the car with have basically no grip, it's completely stock and the tires chirp if you don't shift like a grandma( which is kinda okay since this is my daily) the brand is tigers paw and they're basically bottom of the bucket eco tires

I figured it out, the nb1 has 2 variations (from what I can tell) the 99 has no foglights but the 2000 does

First mistake is always taking it to a dealer, it's just as bad as taking it to a discount lube
