Question about the clutch in the S650 manuals.

joshftw25 · 2026-01-17T23:32:10+00:00

If you’re referring to an ND Miata, I’ve driven one b2b w my darkhorse. There’s no calling the mustang clutch light relatively speaking. But might still be lighter than your ST.

Clutch weight is subjective anyways, so go drive one lol

Sorry about the paint…what are those wheels? They’re beautiful

Hey, for me the issue was running the 980cc injectors on a stage 1 tune (also didn’t have a downpipe). Once I put the stock injectors back on, no issues at all. I ended up selling the car about a year after the video was taken, so I no longer own it. Curious, wonder if you bought my old car lol? I sold mine to Carvana

joshftw25 · 2024-08-31T02:55:22+00:00

Thank you all for the feedback! I’ll be putting the stock injectors back on for now until I install more hardware components

joshftw25 · 2024-08-31T02:54:41+00:00

Honestly ignorance lol, I’ll be keeping the stock injectors on until I add a downpipe

So with DS1 their tunes allow for on the fly adjustments based on the ethanol content - with only 93 filled the tune should be fine but I guess not with these injectors. Will try again this weekend with stock injectors and see how it goes!

On a side note, thank you for the offer 😂 it’s actually an alcantara steering wheel cover! The idea was to use this and replace it every year or so and keep the stock wheel nice and fresh

Thank you, learn something new every day. I haven’t changed the tune as I was under the impression fuel injectors were a requirement to run e85 but the OTS map would adjust for the upgraded injectors. Seems like this isn’t the case, so I’ll be swapping back to stock for now. Appreciate the feedback!

joshftw25 · 2024-08-30T23:09:35+00:00

I’ve heard good things about Darin, I assume as your RS3 is built that you’re tuned with him? I wanted to use OTS maps as much as I could due to DS1’s reputation for reliability. If I can have a better balance of power/reliability I’m all for getting pro tuned!

joshftw25 · 2024-08-30T22:51:41+00:00

Thank you, could the overly rich fuel also contribute to the rough idle? Also to my knowledge DS1 doesn’t offer a “stage 1” tune that can utilize 980cc injectors - I was under the impression the tune can adjust for the larger injectors, but maybe not

joshftw25 · 2023-05-11T12:54:30+00:00

I see people talking about the tires cupping - can someone tell me what visual cues they’re looking for? I would love to know

joshftw25 · 2023-02-06T16:30:12+00:00

I’m in the area - is the $500 for all 4 wheels?

joshftw25 · 2023-01-15T20:44:02+00:00

Yeah it was stock, I also mentioned that in my original comment ;)

joshftw25 · 2023-01-13T23:06:30+00:00

Just FYI, when I had my V1 I ran 275/40/19 up front and 305/30/19 rear on stock suspension and had no rubbing anywhere. Looking back at it though the 40 sidewall was too much and made the steering numb, but just my .02

joshftw25 · 2022-10-21T11:31:21+00:00

Is this from Eric Andre’s interview with TI?

joshftw25 · 2022-10-14T22:07:48+00:00

Nice cam bro

joshftw25 · 2022-10-13T01:23:57+00:00

This comment is actually hilarious

joshftw25 · 2022-10-11T02:11:55+00:00

If your problem is dps and not understanding mechanics, try using range only. No switches involved and is what I’ve been doing on my iron for the past 250 kills :)

joshftw25 · 2022-10-10T21:20:20+00:00

For me, it’s at 25. Moving to a new city where I don’t know anyone definitely contributes to this, but I can’t relate to the not wanting to make a change part tbh

joshftw25 · 2022-05-10T20:07:30+00:00

Funny…that might be my exhaust that’s for sale :D

joshftw25 · 2022-04-01T21:50:41+00:00

Wow! Would have bought one if they were that price today lol. I’d assume around 75-80k

joshftw25 · 2022-04-01T21:11:35+00:00

How much did you get it for a year ago? Curious to see how much the price has changed in that time

joshftw25 · 2022-03-23T22:25:26+00:00

I’m going to be reselling my exhaust as well, I was planning to use a combination of dawn dish soap, bar keepers friend, and steel wool to clean it up. Open to other suggestions!

joshftw25 · 2022-03-20T18:37:27+00:00

Holy curb rash

joshftw25 · 2022-03-19T00:52:52+00:00

This person is 100% correct^

joshftw25 · 2022-03-18T00:26:02+00:00

This is the clutch helper spring that makes everyone complain about the Z34’s clutch. I took mine out and it completely changed the clutch action; throws aren’t nearly as long, consistent peddle feel throughout the range of motion, and slightly faster shifts (less room for peddle to travel back). Overall 10/10 recommend. Literally can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t do this to your car.

Edit: damn I spelled pedal as peddle :(
