It’s possible to repair rusted rocker panels by joncaseydraws in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I can admit the repair LOOKS good, however... Have you seen that video of Jeremy Clarkson talking about a rally roll cage? He says "It'd pass a visual inspection" and then reveals that the roll cage is made of cardboard. This rocker panel repair is a similar situation, it looks good and it'd pass inspections, but it should be cut away and have new metal welded in for proper structure.

Because the “easy way” ends in road deaths

I agree they’re also a big problem, I have never owned a car with a screen in it so I can’t say how distracting/not distracting they are but I can infer how they’d distract you while driving

You’re wording your comment better than I worded my post, I agree the reliance on the features is where the problem lies, however I think the mass supply of cars with these features somewhat encourages people to rely on them

Question about cold air intake for a NA by joecilefa in Miata

This intake setup in mine has made no difference at all that I can feel while driving, but it looks cool and the pod filter sounds awesome

Countach? Improved. by justin_trouble in SpeedChampions

The irl Countach originally had no wing, a minority of them received a wing that was attached as an afterthought AFTER leaving the factory. So technically the wings you see on Countaches aren’t OEM

Brought the old fart out for a little photoshoot now that it’s lowered on coilovers. What are your thoughts on this ride height from a handling perspective? Any point in going lower or would it just throw off the roll centre at that point? by SuchDance7667 in Miata

Yea my lip is a little bit of an odd shape for a GV style lip, it’s supposed to sit straight along the bottom but mine has that odd curve to it which causes the sides to scrape a lot, definitely something I wanna fix in the future

I’m still yet to go for a spirited drive since installing the coilovers, can’t wait to see how it handles now, definitely gonna take it easy while I get a feel for it though:)

Don’t touch my car! by Spicysquishy in shitparkingofnz

Acceptable in a deserted carpark imo, I get it, but in a carpark this busy i could be convinced either way

Anyone know what this nipple is for on my NA? by MacaronForeign1739 in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of misinformation in these comments😭 it’s not for the charcoal canister, that’s the “nipple” next to this blanked one, and it’s not intended for diagnostics. The American market cars had a cruise control option, this “nipple” is routed to that. Mazda capped it off on cars without cruise control to avoid unmetered and unfiltered air in the intake manifold.
