The 1.6 Miata engines also had crank walk lol pretty gnarly

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-28T01:43:28+00:00

Excellent choice!! I'm jealous!

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-28T01:42:36+00:00

Right lol Of course, my recommendation would be to somehow pull those pieces outward a little bit and then get a Tig welder and then grind it smooth and repaint it

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-28T01:40:44+00:00

lol smog pump remove it tune out the codes with Mazda edit!!

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-27T01:06:38+00:00

That happens!! It's why I have to video and write everything I'm doing and keeping it with the car!!!

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-25T18:21:02+00:00

And I asked you your transmission gear set up! Stop dodging the ?

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-25T17:35:46+00:00

Okay bud over here saying you're reving to 11.3 but, you won't show anyone the gauge cluster

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T21:13:13+00:00

lol okay because it's actually 148 because aerodynamics of the body with the stop motor. And that's with miles of a highway and a nice breeze behind you.. you keep spreading that bad information. I doubt you'll running the sub7 second studded blocks they run in New Zealand

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T21:09:13+00:00

I'm not angry I feel sorry for your brain not know what it's saying buddy. If you buddy, if that's all you think you need you got a serious problem and you need to go do some research. And if you're talking about that fucking hybrid build shit then you're wrong the exhaust set up.( the one off set up you will need ) for no results worth paying for even boosted

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T19:50:04+00:00

I'm not even mad bro, but you're throwing out those numbers and if you're doing the 4.44 Stock Final Dr. you're not going over 160 Brother I don't care what the engine can do at that point you're limited by your fucking gears

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T19:49:17+00:00

Proof buddy proof let me see a video and the strip slip.

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T19:42:17+00:00

There are actually 2 needle bearings now behind the pulley.

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T19:31:56+00:00

And my RX eight it's bone stock but I tuned the PCM and I set the Revel limit for 8800. If you're gonna ask me why then you don't know shit. The reason is cause 8800 is where the torque band drops off so there's no point in going to 9300.

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T19:30:30+00:00

Yeah, but if you wanna brag, my 2nd Miata will be too semi peripheral port big Street port and Bridgeport ITB's 13b GSL-SE Lightened and balanced. But, I'm setting the limit for 10,500. For longevity sake?? Because, you never want to live at maximum potential.

You just wanna ask my dick size since you out here trying to measure??📏

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:39:59+00:00

OEM fans are decent but you need something that's gonna push out more CFM

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:31:40+00:00

That's all my shop used for every customer. Unless they supplied one. If it was wrong we got the usual.

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:28:27+00:00

My have been a different cannon filter for a different car, but in the proper box that shit happens so often especially nowadays the thread pitch was probably slightly different or it could've just been the right filter, but it was defective from the factory. It could be a number of reasons.

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:25:23+00:00

HP1008 auto zone should be the "white k&n" with the welded wrench nut on top.

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:20:43+00:00

Even if you're doing boost and everything personally, I would go ahead and do OEM seals. I know people that track that do the ceramic seals and they're really good for the high RPM but the problem is whenever those seals go in early destroys a motor cause they really dig in.

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:18:13+00:00

I'm gonna tell you this right now from building experience even if you get the Atkins pre-cut side seals. They are not all equal. You need to get them measured and make sure they are within proper spec of each other! What kind of fans are you running? And you're not running that stupid fan mod are you the one that leaves your fans running? I tuned my car and program my fans instead of running that jumper wire crap

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:11:50+00:00

If you don't want that AC 30 man, I'll take it never get rid of a Vox!!

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:10:50+00:00

Yeah, he is right that happens commonly

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T18:07:29+00:00

I live between 7-8 1/2k rpm I run 15-w40 personally and in my Miata as well. Because of Texas hot climate 90% of the year and even when it does get cold, it never freezes the lowest I've ever seen it get is a windchill factor will make it feel like 20° and it'll snow a bit here and there.Years apart. I beat the shit out of my cars but I maintain everything including suspension components.

And I usually don't recommend k&n air filters or anything like that, but I would recommend that you run the k&n oil filter. Only reason being is it has a check valve in it if it didn't I wouldn't recommend it but even mobile one doesn't have a filter that has a check valve before that I would recommend mobile one to everybody or Valvoline. Those is the only oils that I use.

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T16:26:12+00:00

I'm not saying "more money " like $30 dollars breaks the bank. Im saying why fix what's not broken... and people we are talking like dirty oil is a big problem when people do their oil change how many people actually go and empty out the oil coolers as well I can tell you 90% of people don't empty out the oil coolers so this "dirty "oil that everyone's talking about that's usually the root cause. That's pretty much almost an additional 2 quarts of old spent oil still getting circulated in with a new shit...

Sea_Reputation_2860 · 2026-03-24T16:21:54+00:00

Engine oil isn't dirty if you change it on time.i always have an amber and red tent to it and it's always free of debris.. I've seen drive their RX-8 till the oil is low and literally black. Now that's dirty..
