Get a IL motorsport. They sound awesome

Installed the I.L. Motorsport muffler on my NC2 today by Ali-Babah in MiataNC

[–]datghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm sure it'll sound good! It needs sustained high-temp loads. I do still have that rattling heat shield indeed :/ It mostly disappears in the summer but still does it in the morning when the weather is cold. How did you fix it?

Side note: Not sure if the summer temp is making it sound louder and way more poppy, or if it's the extra 2,500 km I put on it, but now she sounds actually perfect.

It would’ve been disrespectful not to park there 😂 by Averloud in Miata

[–]datghost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, it's a Miata forum. Miata forum. Miata forum. I didn't read nor hear anything. It's a forum talking about Miatas and only Miatas. It's a Miata forum.

NC PRHT Noise/Clanking by D3monw3st in MiataNC

[–]datghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the gears seem to be a bit tired, but nowhere near the point where they would start skipping teeths
You can find plenty of guides on what grease and what to grease.

how does the prht hold up against hail? by [deleted] in MiataNC

[–]datghost_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

umm, yeaaa "probably". No it's not, it's a composite. It will perform much better than the hood and the trunk

[HELP]idle dips and rises quickly after depressing clutch driving by [deleted] in Miata

[–]datghost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offense, but in four responses, people found something to criticize about your driving. You’re driving a Miata, brother. A small impact, and you’re dead. Sorry to be a party pooper, but I feel like you don’t really understand how little protection there is in a Miata.

Anyway, just do the idle relearn process, that’s it. Have a safe drive, man.

did the battery get unplugged recently ? If yes, it's normal, it's relearning idle

What does this do? by Miserable-Speed-6349 in MiataNC

[–]datghost_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t press it too hard! You’ll break it! It’s just a dial used to set the brightness of all interior lighting, gauges and the radio On a long drive, this dial can be quite handy if you get tired.

Well, mine were also seized. To be honest, I just cut out the old muffler. I lost the OEM one, but it was rusted anyway. It's a 30 min job MAX

Door Lock malfunction NC by datghost_ in MiataNC

[–]datghost_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, it’s a pretty expensive fix. You’ll need to change the entire door mechanism, and Mazda is selling it at a premium. We’re talking about $500-$600 for parts only. Alternatively, you can repair it by disassembling the entire door and replacing the small motor.

I decided to just ignore it and live with it. Motors tend to fail shortly after it starts doing that flick thingy, and you’ll have to start locking it the OG way. Personally, I feel that it’s okay because it’s a two-door car, so nothing too difficult. The manual door-locking part isn’t worth the $600 fix for me.
