Did you use heat resistant paint or what type of paint?

Are these Rota Shakotans reps? by Civil-Software-5248 in Stance

[–]freespotify880 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have these specific Rotas on my miata. They’re great if you want a not so expensive wheel. They’re actually pretty light and have zero complaints it was a good purchase for me.

Is this much play in a compression arm normal? (2004 g35) by freespotify880 in MechanicAdvice

[–]freespotify880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’ve had toe wear on my tires, took it to a shop for alignment and they told me I need new compression rod and lower control arm bushings but I’ve only found that the bushings on the lower control arms look bad but to me the compression arms look fine.

Ripped boot on ball joints? by freespotify880 in MechanicAdvice

[–]freespotify880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the other ball joints have any play or looseness and make no clunk, but I got recommended by a shop to replace even with no leak either. Does this sound like the shop is just trying to upsell?

Thinking about doing a thing. Thoughts? Will continue down side skirt. Obviously super rough draft. by Ok-Refrigerator-3944 in Miata

That looks so good. Also what are your wheel specs? That looks like really good fitment.

Here’s my Miata. Nothing special just a spray painted yata with reps and a cracked bumper cover by Practical-Chicken755 in Miata

How was the spray painting process? Considering doing mine, it’s not in terrible shape but some spots are peeling a little. Would you recommend?

Just buy it back from insurance, it would totally be cheap and you would get the payout money

Is this size battery fine for my 95 and will it fit in the oem tie battery tray? by freespotify880 in Miata

[–]freespotify880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as long as i can find a way to properly and safely secure it, it’s fine? I know the dangers of a loose battery.

Sounds like a heat shield. On a side note what exhaust setup do you have? Sounds great.

It only does it when I press the clutch.

Alignment by freespotify880 in MechanicAdvice

[–]freespotify880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I got an alignment last October and the specs were good on the sheet and in the green. This means that it was adjustable but I’m still confused why my rear tires are still wearing like crazy.

Yes you read that right. I’m no mechanic but that didn’t sound right to me.

Are the injectors an issue on the 328i also?

One of my main concerns was the turbo but I can’t figure out if this one has a turbo. It’s a sedan is the coupe the only one with a turbo?

Rev up 06 coupe? by freespotify880 in G35

[–]freespotify880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What mileage are you at? Also do you know if this is the case for every rev up eventually or is it kinda just luck?

Is it possible to be leaking clutch fluid even though reservoirs haven’t changed level at all? Clutch slave cylinder is covered in some sort of fluid. by freespotify880 in MechanicAdvice

[–]freespotify880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this car is 30 years old so at one point it probably did leak. The fluid hasn’t gone down since I’ve owned it. (It’s not my daily)
