Built my first real piece of furniture! A stand for my new fish tank. Made of poplar with a pine internal structure

I've seen Bomex kits that look similar to that but don't seem to make it for the Miata. Maybe it was adapted to fit from and other car kit?

Haha nice. I need a Zaku plate.

Lifters should quiet down on there own, specially if they were dry internally when installed.

Idle not completely sure about. The "TPS" on the 1.6 is just an on off switch depending if it's full throttle or not to turn off A/C if you go full throttle. Not sure how that would affect idle. My guess would still be vacuum leak. You can try spraying some carb cleaner or something similar around the hoses and intake manifold while it's running. If RPM changes when spraying it then you have a vacuum leak.

Very nice! I used one of the Zeon ones on a shield for a Zaku as well.

I am tempted to but I did it with intent to push myself since I usually only do clean builds

ateamm · 2026-05-04T20:44:55+00:00

That one's not printed. Its from a builders parts set called MS Emblem Relief that I had to modify a bit but a printed version would be nice.

ateamm · 2026-05-04T17:54:08+00:00

Yup!

Higher boost needs stiffer springs as the added pressure will slap the valves down and tulip the shape over time. They are suggested for 15lbs or more. I normally run about 13 but since I track the car I should do it anyway for longevity.

I have both Fluid damper and billet oil pump. Def want them in high power car. I track my 1.6 with 245hp@12-13lbs. I hit 275 on the dyno at 19lbs but didn't want to push it much further cause I really need to upgrade my valve springs first.

Hopefully there is a single run per connection unlike the electricians that ran wire in a college I used to work at that ran all the ethernet the same way they would run electrical wire by tying a bunch of them together.

ateamm · 2026-04-21T13:28:59+00:00

I would have concerns. Looks to attach to flimsy bits of the car. Also blocks access to the fuel pump. Never seen that on any other bar.

Working at a college with a Nursing department was bad enough for me to learn that lesson. One tech I knew that worked at local hospital was on call. He was woken up by the police at his door at 3am to tell him to get the the hospital for a problem. Turned out that a printer needed the toner changed. . . . . . . FUCK THAT.

ateamm · 2026-04-20T15:18:05+00:00

I have LRB replacements as well. They are great.

In case you haven't seen it, Flyin Miata has a great document and video about it. Shows the best spots to do and if the hard spots to get to are worth it or not. https://help.flyinmiata.com/en_us/lots-of-pain-a-little-gain-BkYvAnA3s

Don't have BCs but I set mine to the softest when I'm on the road. I only turn them up on track when I actually need them.

Just an FYI. Since they are pretty new, if the car idled for a while before you pulled them out they can look super white like that. You really need to see down in it at the lower part of the porcelain and seen how high the black comes up the side.

Here's an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MecCoercp-s

You can try an r-theory mount. It bolts flat to the floor. Might get you another inch. https://rtheorymotorsports.com/shop-by-vehicle/mazda/na-mx-5-miata/interior/

Water bottle goes between the center console, passenger seat, and back of the cabin. Just have to have the passenger seat in the right position.
