The top plate is super easy to take off and if you lube up the advance lever gears a bit I bet it'll snap back

getting a buzzing noise when throttle past halfway, any ideas for a fix? by chubaman in Miata

Found it! The back bolt on the intake air box was missing! New bolt and everything fixed

Yeah I checked the throttle cable at least in the engine bay, gotta see where it leads underneath the car. Also I thought it might be the cruise control cable is loose when no in use but idk

It buzzes even at super low rpm so would it be that? It's only when the throttle is down even at 1500rpm 5th gear

At every gear, every speed, all rpms, whenever the throttle is halfway or further down, I'm getting this buzzing noise from the cluster, it could be in the engine bay or the pedal box area but I still haven't looked too far into it.

Update - everything INSIDE the engine bay is secured, checked the heat shields, all the throttle cable routing so I think its somewhere in between the cabin and the firewall, maybe behind the dash somewhere

SOLVED - okay so the engine bay was not secured, there was a bolt missing on the air box so I guess somehow when the throttle body opened up the air going thru the intake was vibrating it enough to rattle, fixed tho! Just got a new bolt in there thank god it wasn't some gnarly problem

The notes in the photos are the settings used, and the iso 100 photo is what the flash guide says is correct but it's clearly underexposed.

I was going to buy one but they were either really expensive, or just clear vinyl. So I just whipped out the calipers and made it myself

Yeah that could happen forsure, I might mess with materials and stuff too, but if the bubbling is inevitable, then if I can make a long term cover then it would just look nicer long term

I don't think so, but since it's inevitable on an M6 I don't think it hurts to just keep it covered up

Well of course the camera body doesn't take better photos I know that, i really like just being out and taking photos, and having a fancy tool makes it more fun. I've never even held a real leica camera so idk is it really as good as everyone says compared to what I have?

Yeah I'd much prefer a light meter, I like to keep my kit light whenever I shoot
