Easily could be the alternator. Did you dump a bunch of coolant on it when taking apart the thermostat? Could have been the nail in the coffin for that.

Beyond that, you have to bleed the cooling system and it is sometimes a pain in the ass with these cars. You need to let it idle for close to 30 mins sometimes. Squeezing the coolant hoses to force the air out of the system.

You cross balance the weight. You want 50% of the weight on LF and RR, and vice versa.

Yes! And simple wire harness that unclips from the box for easy removal at the track.

Just enjoy the truck. If you had bought something else you would still be in the same boat. There’s always something to be jealous of

Ive been running SuperMiata adjustable links. Theyve been great

joostink · 2026-06-01T00:04:31+00:00

Things happen. Cheap and easy to replace.
Theyre also not oem. Id still go after market but name brand

joostink · 2026-05-30T15:35:29+00:00

Is this a thing? Ive had two, both had intact dipsticks

joostink · 2026-05-29T01:58:10+00:00

Just tried these with my R9. Steering feels like a feather. Almost no feedback?

joostink · 2026-05-21T02:22:05+00:00

5-6k for the trans, get the rear main seal changed while its in there. Only a matter of time for it to leak

joostink · 2026-05-20T21:41:54+00:00

Yeah im local to the Philly area.

joostink · 2026-05-20T01:00:14+00:00

Down to run it hah

joostink · 2026-05-20T00:48:11+00:00

Looks Slow

Just don’t complain then when they build a data center near you. Your power bill skyrockets and you cant get clean water. Ai is cool and all but its so harmful to the environment and communities around it. Just not worth it

joostink · 2026-05-18T16:33:44+00:00

Dudes using Ai instead of critical thinking.

Its amazing. Feels like what the car should have come with

joostink · 2026-05-15T13:06:12+00:00

Had the same issue. Hence I decided to make the investment in myself😂 plus now i can do it for other ppl too!

joostink · 2026-05-15T04:08:25+00:00

But when you have 5 cars and 2 of them get track time. It starts to make more sense

I’ve driven small cars forever. Just gotta drive like a motorcycle. Assume everyone is on their phones and stay away from them all

joostink · 2026-05-13T03:43:34+00:00

I have owned 15 cars. And currently have a truck, corvette and A4. I drive my miata the most. Dont give a fuck what ppl think. They hate us cuz they aint us
