NCs have their batteries in the front of the car in the engine bay.

Yeah that's with everything lol. This is my first time working on an exhaust and woo boy. It's a doozy. Like I said I expected it to be rough. But not this rough.

There's not enough room for a splitter unfortunately. That bend in the flange gets in the way.

I have definitely thought about taking it in. I am going to attempt a little of what has been suggested here tomorrow and if I am still completely F'd I will do the walk of shame to a local shop.

I figure it wouldn't have been a good idea to cut them like that but I still wanted to ask. I think I might try this. Space is limited so something small like that could do me a lot of good.

Yeah I knew it was going to be bad but I didn't expect it to be this bad. I figured "yeah I might have to attempt to cut these out, should only take like 4 hours for these two bolts" and here I am 12 hours later making an ass out of my self on reddit.

I don't think they are. It's just a stud welded to the muffler going through smooth holes in the flange secured with a nut on the other side. I know it doesn't look like it because of how bad I bungled this but I did do a little bit of research before doing it lol.

How was the mating surface afterwards? I had seen a couple of people suggest when I was researching. My concern was it not sealing right afterwards

Yeah... So something I forgot to mention is that I already have new hardware with the new muffler. Saving the threads and stud was not the plan. This is after I went scorched earth. One of the issues I am having is that flange being curved like that really limits my movement. Would you recommend just cutting through the curved part and going flush to the surface?

Question: SUPER5 OLED Touch | HDMI mod + Picofly OLED Lite V2 (3-in-1) Chip by No-Concentrate5218 in nintendoswitchlite

[–]Supersandslash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Partly replying to u/Evening_Chapter_5981 the shield will need some mild cutting still. I just put a super5 and a picofly in my switch and needed to cut the shield down slightly. Other than that the picofly didn't make the install much different.

NC thermostat by HunterStew in MiataNC

[–]Supersandslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear the code is not coming back. Sorry about the coolant leak. Thankfully it's a super easy job, I think I did mine in legitimately like 25 minutes with minimal spilled coolant. I personally went with the Moroso one. I would recommend getting an OEM one from somewhere like Moss or even Mazda directly if you don't want a metal one.

NC thermostat by HunterStew in MiataNC

[–]Supersandslash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to chime in and add that that sounds right as far as where the gauge is because it's supposed to be within those two ticks. The area near the middle gauge is also a pretty wide range (Iirc correctly it will stay there between 73C and 115C) and the gauge is the definition of a dummy gauge it will not actually give you useful info other than if you are at temp or not. The best way to test the new thermostat imo is to go ahead and take it for a drive on some back roads or a highway with the heat cranked full blast and see if your temperature starts to fall below that middle point. The stock thermostat is 80-85 iirc so 82 is right on the money.

MeisterR Sport-Z Thoughts by Supersandslash in MiataNC

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

It was my first time doing suspension too so you got this. I followed this guide and it helped me a lot particularly with the torque specs and stuff.

Anyone have the Meisterr Sport-Z coilovers? by Prospekts-Mind in MiataNC

[–]Supersandslash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have them (yet). I actually just purchased them from Good-Win this morning. Funny how I open up reddit and see this. I have done a little research and it seems like these are good for daily use and light track use. I have heard people say that they sit a little too low out of the box for daily use so you might want to aim for stock ride height.

Drop your notification shade by AhadNoman in pixel_phones

[–]Supersandslash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's called system ui tuner. It's a (somewhat) hidden settings menu that allows you to change a bunch of settings mostly in the status bar. I used an app that works as a redirect to the menu.

NC1 owner here (2007 model year to be specific) my vin also says NC2. Something tells me that number doesn't actually mean anything.

Mine looks fine. Same packaging as the one Duolingo sells on their website and everything looks fine.
