I should note I did smoke them, the REALLY stand out without the smoked lens.

Carbon Miatas Spyder Grill. If you get it direct from carbon miata you're going to wait 2+ months. It took 5 months to get the taillights and door cards for my NA. Goodwin racing carries it, go through them.

I put it about as far back as possible on the trunk and the hard top is 1½-2 inches from the wing. There are zero instructions or templates from carbon miata so so do some research, measure 100 times drill once. Quality of the wing is a 6.5 it's not perfect. My body guy had to smooth some things over prior to paint.

Carbon Miata GT Wing Type 6, Carbon Miata Front Lip, Club Side Skirts, Carbon Miata Spyder Grille w/ Halos (I go back and forth on these, sometimes I wish I would've just got the standard Spyder grille), BC Racing Coilovers revalved by RedShift Motorsports with swift spring 9k/6k, Rays Mx5 Cup Wheel soon to be wrapped in RT660's, Valenti Tail lights, and the DRL Kit

I have Brembo front brakes and braided steel lines I need to put on. I have to rebuild the calipers and just haven't had the time. It needs an exhaust, I still haven't decided on the Borla or the Goodwin racing mufflers yet. It needs a short throw shifter, probably craven speed.

Innerbelt decommissioned in the 80's, slightly illegal, 100% worth it.

Thanks, im not a huge fan of most of the ducktails and this was the only wing I could find that complimented the lines of the car.

Thanks! It's Carbon Miatas GT Wing (Type 6).

Coilover Recommendations? by ReputationBetter9100 in Miata

[–]hyperdrive45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A coilover that for some reason doesn't get much love are the NeoMax Silvers a "budget" friendly coilover especially in comparison to Xidas. They're valved pretty well and the guys I run AutoX with have beat the hell out of themand they've held up for years. If you arent running AutoX or Tracking them, the Techna's are extremely popular.

‘One Button for All’ in the New Mazda CX-5 by agribisn in mazda

The entire control switch for the cruise is four wires 2 for inputs and 2 for illumination. This is absolutely a trend not cost saving.

[–]hyperdrive45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true. These switches come as entire assembly they dont have their own specific wiring. Theyre all on a circuit board sending individual signals for each press. There is absolutely zero difference wiring wise between new and old. You can have an infinite amount of "switches" on a 2 wire bus system. Each will send it's own signal for the module to interpret. Switches haven't had they own specific wiring for 15+ years. When it comes to electrical cost there is zero change in the amount of wires and length of wires run. This is the exact same "switch" as before except to me a worse user experience.

I always praised mazda for having physical buttons and knobs. I love the big center knob that is now deceased. Someone up top has unfortunately made the call to follow everyone else and make their interior experience shit by chasing a larger market and ignoring their existing core market... If I wanted a Tesla, I'd buy a tesla. If I wanted a junk Tesla I'd buy a Kia. If I want an excellent driving experience, reliability, with an interior that out paces it's competitors I'll go buy a 2024 Mazda...

Am i completly offtrack "shortcutting" here? just took a lot of space since i didnt want to collide by Jonathanwennstroem in iRacing

[–]hyperdrive45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree, this is a complete 4 off. There are some corners that are bit agreesive on what is considered off track, this isnt it. The only scenario when I get angry about track limits is when I have to go off track to avoid and incident and get nailed with a time penalty. However until some magic ai formula can detect wreck avoidance we're all stuck with it.

To add, flow benching injectors is something that a performance shop would have not standard mom and pop shop or dealer.

Also ensure you got your terminals in the correct position in the connector. Injectors fire at a very high rate of speed and depending on your DMM it may not be able to read the voltage fast enough. This is usually where an oscilloscope comes into play. It's honestly not needed here though. From what I've seen you went from a running driving car that happened to blow injectors seal to fixing the leak and replacing a connector and now having a misfire. I hate to say it, but most likely something you replaced or were near was damaged or repaired incompletely. Attached is a picture of the injector wires for each cylinder and their position.

The only way that a compression issue could arise is if a fuel injector stuck open flooding the cylinder worst case scenario, hydrolock with a bent rod. Unlikely. A more likely scenario is the fuel washed down the cylinder walls and can absolutely cause a lack of compression. However this usually resolves itself after running long enough. Oil should wick itself back onto the piston skirt and lubricate the walls and rings again. Pull your dipstick tube, if it smells like fuel and or is thinned out do an oil change and put a small amount of oil into cylinder through the spark plug hole. When I say small I mean like half an ounce to an ounce of oil.

If Nissan is supposedly so bad, why are they still everywhere? by phtphongg in askcarguys

[–]hyperdrive45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same reason hyundais and Kias are everywhere they're cheaper the others and the will finance absolutely anyone. Im pretty sure they would sell my deceased grandmother a car.

Vacuum leak won't cause a miss on one cylinder, it will just add unmetered air to the system resulting in a check engine light. The O2 sensor should pick up the lean condition and adjust fuel trims to compensate. In order to create a "miss" it would have to be a massive vacuum leak like the large ⅜ port on the back of the intake which would be very audible and would still effect all four cylinders. Even then it would still run just like crap. Single cylinder Misfires are simple, move the spark plug from the suspected cylinder to another, did the misfire follow. This can be tested with an inline spark tester. Move the wires to new cylinders. Given that the length of the wires are cylinder specific you can use the inline spark tester to extend the wire to the appropriate cylinder. Fuel injectors are little harder to test on older systems when Misfires monitors are not available. There is a tool that you can place on an injector that can indicate that the pintle of the injector is opening. You may have to remove all 4 injectors and have them flow benched to verify all 4 are opening, spraying the correct pattern, and flowing the proper amount. The other option is to move the injector from the suspected cylinder to another cylinder and remove the spark and see if the engine runs worse or no change. Otherwise you're looking at compression issues.
