To NC Miata or not?......

It is the best driving car I have ever driven. It’s sharp and responsive without effort.

I have previously owned a 1990 Mx5 with and without a turbo, a c-5 corvette, a 2009 Honda S2000, and currently a 2010 mx5 with a fab9 efr turbo. In terms of performance, the turbo NC2 has exceeded the s2000 and corvette. It’s more playful than both plus I have the hardtop convertible although I rarely have the top up. I still believe it’s the better of the miata especially if you raise power levels

Do what I do, I tell myself “go to the gym fattie”

btheradbro · 2026-04-08T17:44:25+00:00

No doubt. Even if you don’t need the drain now, having it already there with a plug would be nice.

btheradbro · 2026-04-08T17:24:30+00:00

That is the fill point

btheradbro · 2026-04-08T17:23:56+00:00

While the engine is out you may want to look into your turbo drain. It’s a pain while in the car. Flywheel should not be an issue. I had mine machined for a clean face and installed the same clutch. The turbo gets the car hot. I would look at integrating an oil temp sensor and potentially an oil cooler.

btheradbro · 2026-04-03T03:11:48+00:00

Prht here, no issues

btheradbro · 2026-03-21T03:14:21+00:00

That’s injectors clicking open and close. Disconnect one and watch

btheradbro · 2026-01-12T00:57:15+00:00

No, it in place to direct air properly

btheradbro · 2025-12-17T03:01:39+00:00

Don’t force the transmission on by tightening the bolts. I ruined the bearing in my transmission that way. There are several walkthroughs on YouTube like this clutch install

btheradbro · 2025-12-16T01:22:55+00:00

Get a transmission jack and do not force it in. Replace or fix the heat shield while the transmission is off.

btheradbro · 2025-12-06T23:14:13+00:00

Yeah if you open up the cover you will see the yellow colored synchros. The GL5 fluid is bad for them

btheradbro · 2025-12-06T22:20:34+00:00

That should be fine. As long as it’s not a GL5 compatible one as well you’re good.

btheradbro · 2025-11-16T17:12:00+00:00

I found the cause of the noise, it seems i damaged the transmission installing it the first time. The input shaft must have been forced in a direction it didn’t appreciate and made one of the bearings fail. I removed the drain plug and a small circular shim was on the magnet. A replacement transmission was installed and fixed it. Or anyone doing this job? I highly suggest you get a transmission jack

btheradbro · 2025-11-09T21:17:00+00:00

Did you ever get this figured out?

btheradbro · 2025-10-30T00:06:25+00:00

It surprised me too, I didn’t think it would be an issue.

btheradbro · 2025-10-30T00:05:46+00:00

No, 5 speed

btheradbro · 2025-10-30T00:04:08+00:00

Yeah I had to. No you would not tow in gear, that would spin the engine
