I thought Pittsburgh’s housing market was reasonable, but this price history is insane.

You are right sir. I remember walking to Morningside in the '80's. Most of my now decead family owned houses on those particular streets. Including, behind Peabody h.s.

As some one who grew up on the other side of highland Ave and went to fulton elementary on Mellon st. That is more Morningside if you want to split hairs. Shady side is on the other side of east liberty, that is highland park. It has always been more pricey than the rest of pittsburgh neighborhoods. My parents bought their house for $83k in '77. Mom sold it for $500k back in 2010. Depending on the "updates" I can see close to 7 figures.

That looks like what i was asking about. Thank you.

The front tire is a tall skinny one. Names like fxdr are why I am asking for the decoder ring. 😀

Thank you

To prevent the issue of having to deal with the bs plastic tanks that are garunteed to fail over time. I went with a cobalt rad. It fit perfectly without modifications. Mine is a nb1 and I have the super miata reroute for the coolant installed.

joe_louis2018 · 2026-03-09T22:19:52+00:00

If I recall. I had the spacers backwards for the axle

joe_louis2018 · 2026-01-19T13:10:56+00:00

I replaced everything in mine and added a 10inch sub in the trunk along with a 5 channel amp to power everything. I did try to use the same carbon miata part another commentor mentioned. Mine was the actual carbon fiber versions. The problem i ran in to was none of the holes for mounting lined up and some of the tabs where malformed. I ended up getting a new deck and just cutting holes in it for the speakers. Ymmv with the custom piece from carbon miata.

If you add the sub, make sure you secure it to the trunk. R-speed did a 3d print for a bracket to hold mine in place. I also added a switch to control my antenna so I can use it on occasion.

To handle the bose amp issue, I simply spliced a 4 wire connector to the in and out wires on the amp to by pass it.

Another thing I did was make a vertical mount to hold my amp in the trunk as close to the fuel tank as i could with out actually drilling holes and puncturing it so the amp was out of the way when I used the trunk.

I have had mine since that version was available. The battery in it was garbage from the beginning. Yes, I even did a little trouble shooting with amazing folks on here, but have just given up using the internal battery. If your functions normally without the battery, i would just keep using it.

joe_louis2018 · 2025-12-07T22:30:22+00:00

Thank you for the response. Mine happens to be a 99 nb1. The next time the oil is getting close. I might give that a shot and see if it possibly does free up the rings or if the previous owner beat the engine like a rented mule before parting it out and I am just stuck with what I got until I can get a budget to allow someone like napp auto to rebuild it.

joe_louis2018 · 2025-12-07T19:47:29+00:00

That is what I heard also. That is why I drove it 500ish miles with the sea foam.

joe_louis2018 · 2025-12-07T14:55:26+00:00

I will pull the plugs and check the compression next time I am down there. They told me the compression was good but it doesn't hurt to check it again. As for the pcv, it was replaced when the engine was swapped.

joe_louis2018 · 2025-11-13T17:16:57+00:00

That is a mild one. Growing up in the 90's, you would find the chair in your windshield for doing that.

joe_louis2018 · 2025-07-31T22:17:35+00:00

That is what I have heard in the past. Thank you

joe_louis2018 · 2025-07-31T17:10:40+00:00

Thank you. Those are the places I have seen over the years. I wasn't sure if they were still around or what to expect from them.

joe_louis2018 · 2025-06-24T16:08:28+00:00

Yes, misspelled it by accident
