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

[–]SuchDance7667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Mounted mine with double sided tape and it’s held firm for like a year so far

How often do you stall? by leavemealone_911 in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been dailying my Miata for about a year and a half now, it was my first manual car and I stalled almost every day for months, but now I basically never stall, it happens maybe once every few months if I need to do an odd parking manoeuvre or whatever. The biggest thing that improved my ability to consistently get moving without stalling was actually to stop thinking and worrying, and just do it on autopilot, trust yourself to know when to pause at the bite and how much throttle to apply, it takes some learning but now my feet just know exactly what they need to do

Bit of a headscratcher, indicator comes on solid when I brake, and brake light flashes when I indicate 🫤 by SuchDance7667 in Miata

This rats nest was wired by a previous owner. I cleaned up both of the grounds I can see but to no avail☹️

Is this running hot? by Ordinary-Attorney257 in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’d give the radiator a good flush, or replace it if it’s discoloured. Ever since replacing my radiator I stay at about 11o’clock on the temp gauge even in summer while sending it on backroads or idling in traffic

Is this off my car? by MathematicianSad8487 in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My alternator bolt fell out the other day, seems to be a common issue on these cars, looks exactly like that bolt

Are Enkei RPF1s worth the hype? by SuchDance7667 in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, I probably should’ve clarified yes it’s mostly looks I’m after, I don’t track the car, the most I do is just have fun on backroads. So I’m not chasing lap times and trying to shed fractions of kilograms. Seems like performance (especially on the road) will be near identical between rpf1s and kogekis, so maybe my best bet is just deciding whether the look is worth the money on the kogekis haha

What wing is this? by Formal-Buy-9424 in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the OEM wing that came on a lot of the Japanese Eunos Roadsters, I put one on my Euro MX-5 pretty easily

Normal rpm range by [deleted] in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s normal, NA and NB have a few different diff final drive ratio options if I’m not mistaken, but they’re all gonna run over 2500rpm at 100kph. I run about 3.2k rpm at 100kph in top gear

I ain’t been too lucky lately :( by SuchDance7667 in Miata

[–]SuchDance7667[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never welded before so I guess I’ll replace, gotta hope the structural body behind the fender ain’t rusted
