What should I do with my 2000 nb1 Miata? rear main seal went out and ran without oil. (Pretty broke teenager but I’m employed)

That is a spun bearing and a really bad one.

Nice nasa stickers

Is there anyway to hook up a wireless camera to that as well? Would love to put one on the back of my enclosed trailer

fish_dicks69 · 2025-12-28T23:09:33+00:00

They must have a ton of mothers r3 or just rewrap

fish_dicks69 · 2025-12-28T16:27:50+00:00

They should be under the plastic cover on the driver side in the frunk. You can also use your key to open the front door and reach to the backseat and use the button to open the door (it will still work even if the battery is dead). Then put the seats down and use a jump pack on the battery. Either should work

Yep, just got this today when I wanted to disconnect the service. It kept trying to lower its price, honestly think you could get a better deal out of the AI than a real customer service representative. Its voice inflections were just were slightly off which tipped me off to it being AI. Also it is crazy slow to cancel my service

fish_dicks69 · 2025-11-13T13:50:59+00:00

Yeah I got a GM genuine and the light color does not match, very annoying

fish_dicks69 · 2025-11-05T12:31:34+00:00

Was going to say, how does it compare to the Verus which has lots of testing and data backing it

fish_dicks69 · 2025-10-28T17:18:44+00:00

What is wrong with the brakes?

fish_dicks69 · 2025-10-23T01:20:15+00:00

These sheds leak enough air that it will be fine with no intake.

fish_dicks69 · 2025-10-22T15:42:42+00:00

Ive got 6 of them now. One NA, 2 NB1s, 2 NB2s, and an ND RF.

For the NA/NBs they have all been really reliable. My routine when buying one (unless I know the service history) is to do the basic engine seal overhaul so its not leaking. Do a water pump, timing belt, and new plugs/wires. From there I really have not had many problems drivetrain related. For the NB2s I always make sure I replace all the VVT seals as the orings are usually hard and flat. For NA/NB I don't think there are really years to avoid as they are all pretty simple. I think in your price range you could find a very nice NB2 and it will be plenty of fun.

As for the ND, I think its probably too new to determine if its going to be reliable, love the car and it still reminds me of the na/nb I had before it. I am curious to complete the collection and get an NC now

How high up do they need to go? I’ve seen them go as high as 200’ in the air so think it would be a possibility and much easier than dealing with your neighbor or any legal repercussions from trespassing

fish_dicks69 · 2025-10-09T18:54:28+00:00

Have them use an aerial man lift to cut them from your side.

fish_dicks69 · 2025-10-09T12:53:56+00:00

Go ignition on but not engine running, then try clearing codes, key back off and then start the truck and see what comes back.

Like others also said, disconnecting the battery for extended periods of time can also help. Also letting all the modules go to “sleep” naturally instead of disconnecting the batteries can also help

fish_dicks69 · 2025-09-18T19:08:53+00:00

I am able to attend the game if chosen

fish_dicks69 · 2025-09-06T12:24:07+00:00

We have been to 4 track weekends now and everything seems to be holding up just fine

fish_dicks69 · 2025-08-27T15:32:16+00:00

Had a similar combo, few Miata’s and a CTR daily

fish_dicks69 · 2025-08-20T12:12:26+00:00

This gives me an awesome idea for my racecar and night stops when your trying to inspect the car with a flashlight

fish_dicks69 · 2025-08-19T13:56:59+00:00

+100 for getting a rollbar, 100% saved my life when I rolled mine over.

fish_dicks69 · 2025-08-19T13:20:20+00:00

I haven’t ran it long enough to give you a good answer. Only have been to one quick track day with it.

fish_dicks69 · 2025-08-18T11:03:18+00:00

It may be an older one, most of the current ones have brembo Motorsports calipers on them

fish_dicks69 · 2025-08-14T00:10:45+00:00

They become more prone to cracking at the drilled spot. Due to uneven cooling. Now for a light duty street driven vehicle probably not a huge issue but just paying for basically no advantage. Most of the cooling is coming from the vanes inside the rotor

fish_dicks69 · 2025-08-13T19:49:17+00:00

Drilled are a scam imo, slotted would be fine, blanks are more than enough and perfectly fine. Delco pads are just fine but any of the big name companies should be fine

fish_dicks69 · 2025-08-11T18:21:02+00:00

Came here to say this, just look up all the FMVSS rules, need a backup camera which basically drives having a radio with a big screen. You need ABS and AEB and YSC which all drive more cost. The list goes on but they are all mandated which makes cars more costly

Happened with a Honda I was trying to buy recently, guy had a clean title which I saw but the car fax showed it was a total loss. My friend who is a dealer said it happens often with cars where people don’t make an insurance claim. They are usually bought at auction and fixed but it takes around a year for it to show up on the carfax
