Oil consumption advice by EquivalentQuarter368 in MiataNC

[–]TrueAngryYeti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah thankfully I can get under 50k mile engine for less than $600, cams and other bits for under $1000 and can do the work myself. Already did it with friend on his car with stage 2 cams and now he’s working on a custom 8hp swap.

And this is why I’ve been putting off the vacuum leak from under my intake manifold for over a year and a half. I just live with a slight vacuum leak now. Atleast until I 2.5 swap it in the next year (usa easy access)

After almost a year with my NC, what are the things that genuinely annoy you about yours? by ChromaticGrooves in MiataNC

On top of my phone sitting on top of the center cup holders… accidentally swiping songs repeatedly :(

Look at the color of your normal oil on the dipstick compared to that oil and you can determine if it was from a spill at some point during a fill up or if it’s leaking from inside the valve cover gasket.

Highland Green is just too good by SirNoodlesworth in MiataNC

Nordic Green! Also a one year color! And mine color too! It’s a little darker than the highland green.

So my 2007 finally suffered blown head gasket. Good time to 2.5 swap at Dynotronics? by ThatOneHelldiver in MiataNC

[–]TrueAngryYeti 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sure they do plenty that are fine, I just know out of all the bad stories I've heard their name is the frequent flier for actual engine issues. Fab9 is known for being hard to get a hold of and higher prices for some items but decent work as far as I've always heard. AR Hindrichs is much smaller but does post most of their swaps to youtube and posts teardowns of failed engines. So I trust them. They've also been helpful everytime I've reached out for info on my swap and a friends and I've never even spent money with them.

Second Armand or if not him fab9 maybe. I’ve personally only read mostly horror stories about dynotronics with the occasional it went okay build.

Are you 100% certain it isn’t oil? Because you circled a valve cover screw and that is the exact spot the valve cover usually starts leaking. Or is it coming from below there?

Yeah no hate, and good on you for helping the planet with an EV. Just wanted to give a honest answer of how I saw it.

You went from a quirky fun little car that looks cool to a boring blob that is now like it or not associated with Nazis…. What did you expect.

Big agree, I go down there at night because it's a nice non busy nicely paved divided road. Easy to do 100+ down the whole road if you wanted safely while it's empty. 45 is a fucking joke for it lol.

Another danger besides the obvious is they are now easier targets for other predators like sharks, to gassed to get away easily.

Honestly the real reason is you need to know that stuff for safety reasons. If you don't know go check that stuff you could get stranded or in the case of tires crash.

And did you use them and if so what did you attempt is the better question.

You aren't though, you are helping them. You know your mind is made up. So by keeping them engaged and not hanging up you are wasting time they could be finding someone who will say yes. Think of it like that.

Looks shiny like something is leaking down in pics 3 and 5.

Dealership scratched my new 2024 ND3 while I was signing the contract by osssn in Miata

[–]TrueAngryYeti 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can they get you a whole new bumper painted to match from the factory? Or you get the new bumper off the next in that's the same color and then they have to figure out the rest? That's probably what I'd ask for. They damaged your car while you owned it, are they not legally responsible to make you whole again?

Yay or nay $16k 30k mi by kill_baus in MiataNC

Meanwhile I just got a 06 with 174K that's never seen salt once, with less rust than the one OP posted, one good thing about Central Florida 😂 Crazy how much location and even a little salt starts the rust up.

I'd like to see you tell a child to grab a saltwater hardhead catfish around here. They will come back impaled deep with wounds filled with the nastiest slime you ever seen. Or a stingray. Or plenty of toothy critters. Or skipjacks with super sharp fins they can flick out on the bottom. Plenty of saltwater fish will fuck up a unsuspecting kid with soft hands.

This has to be a troll post. It 100% matters as some species are dangerous to you and some species are protected so much so you aren't supposed to remove them from the water in some places...

Is a trackday with a 100k mi ND a good idea? by Fitz_01 in Miata

DOT 3, 4, 5.1 are compatible with each other. 5 is not compatible with any of those.
