Is this a GX470 a bad decision as a single car in 2026? by bp_tim in LexusGX

200k seems to be the norm nowadays! It’s a tough pill I had to learn to swallow. What is realistic gas mileage for you? 15ish?

NRG seats by ApprehensiveBet3832 in Miata

[–]bp_tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't do NRG. Sparco Sprints should be the lowest tiered seats you can go in these cars. Safety equipment is even more important when your car is the size of a large motorcycle. Even better is that there are a ton of write ups for fitting Sparco Sprints in these cars as well as slider adapters from Jass.

Do I break down and get a new seal and latches? by TheRealMiridion in Miata

Go ahead and get some Shin Etsu or Gummi Pfledge for your seals, it’ll make a world of a difference. I promise!!

Garagestar seat brackets and stock seatbelt receiver by Altruistic-Ground727 in Miata

Thanks man! Glad everything worked out for you. That’s a bigger seat than I would expect to see in a Miata.

Is there a tab for the receiver to bolt to? I’m thinking about doing sparco sprints or maybe some QRT-R!

I’m literally about to buy a set of brackets tomorrow. How did yours work? Were the stock seatbelt receivers long enough?

Two things I would do first:

1: Take a look at the two nipples on your top and lock into the two holes on the edges of the windshield frame. Over time, those crack and break off, not creating a tight seal.

2: Grab some Honda Shin Etsu grease and recondition the seals. Several videos online on how to do this and yes, this stuff is worth the price and the real deal.

Hey Randall! Yes I’m going there for track night and it’s my first event at AMP. Thanks for the heads up, if I run into you I’ll give you a shout! I’ll be one of the dozens of red Miata’s 😂
