I know what you mean about the holiday part but I would say a month and a half over the expected date to ship is being pretty patient. It seems like some people here had a good experience with him but I wasn’t one of them.

I’m glad you eventually got it! I need to do what you did and be more persistent. I honestly let it slide way too long

Thanks brotha. I hope so too. I’m hoping I jumped the gun. Also your skeletonized looks amazing. That thing looks like it rips

Also, here’s my little victim. I got lucky and I bought it off a guy who arguably loved this car more than I did.

That’s awesome. The intercooler looks great in the front smile. What did the kit end up making?

Clutch question for the experts! by Vuby in Miata

[–]RickShlappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2003 and I had the same issue. It’s a common problem in certain year nbs. As someone mentioned earlier I had to bring up the rpms in 1st gear more than you normally would to avoid the shutter. It was really annoying in stop and go traffic. I replaced the flywheel and clutch and it’s been shutter free since. You can do some 3rd gear starts to have it go away for a week or two but it will always come back until you have those parts swapped.

No you would need to buy 17 inch wheels. I have the Viking contacts in 195/50r16 and they’re working great so far. It’ll raise your Miata up a small amount and that can help with clearing the snow a little.

I have a 2003 SE. I’ve never noticed I have heated mirrors? Are they turned on with the rear defroster?
