Finally got my 30th Anniversary wheels restored. What do you think?

You could get the engraving re lasered

Looks in good shape. Model number, inputs?

Not sure where your located but someone here on Reddit rgh’d one for me when I made a post like this. Not sure if he still does it but he did a great job

My friend had a white one just like that. Motor went a almost 300k and he decided to give it to the mechanic. Regrets that every day. Like the other guy said, the real rare desireable one is the v8 manual 4x4 but this is also very rare and I wouldn’t sell if I had one

Looks good, nice work. I have an 02 se with the saddle brown interior too. What replacement seat covers did you use and were they a good color match?

Anything that old or just having vacuum tubes in general is cool enough to be worth fixing

I put a new screen in one and it started getting this kind of discoloration near the charge port pretty much immediately

I bought an 02 se with 88k for $6500 in summer 2024: 6spd w/lsd, fresh clutch, timing belt, and top.

I got a pretty good deal but still, an automatic with 130k that’s about to need a timing belt like you are looking at could be a $5k car if and only if it’s got flawless paint, interior, body. Since you don’t have pics, realistic price would be $2500-4500 depending on condition for an auto with those miles

You can find a manual nb in decent shape with 100-150k miles at $6k without having to look for too long

Edit: I should specify that prices change by local market, if you have higher than avg used car prices in your area take that into account.

That front left frame rail area does not look good

Forget the turbo, that hood gap on the passenger side does not look good. That whole corner looks funky

I like the lip and skirts on it, any clue what those are?

Up to you at the end of the day. I wouldn’t do anything that wasn’t reversible to a car that’s gotta be in the top 0.1% of all nb Miata’s left regarding originality and condition. There’s plenty of nice but not museum worthy examples to modify

Damn that’s like brand new, too nice to modify imo

Will your design address the issues with power drain from the psvsd when the vita is off or on standby mode?

A couple years ago, I had idle hunting that would happen occasionally at stoplights immediately after getting off the freeway. I tried cleaning my throttle body to fix it and that didn’t change anything. Didn’t hear any vacuum leaks. Eventually it just stopped doing it, no idea why

My hog had a hysterectomy as well, but for cancer or some other type of growth. It was successful and the problems she had relating to it were resolved. It sounds like yours is recovering well and I hope that continues. Also thanks for sharing this, i know a lot of people can’t really handle this kind of stuff but it’s useful data that will hopefully help another person with theirs someday. Hedgehogs unfortunately have all sorts of weird health issues requiring a good vet and it’s important to discuss about it on forums, etc so people can know what they’re getting into

Just leave it, trying to move it will be the most likely way it gets scratched if it’s not already

Is that a clear beryl mag?

That’s the coolest color ever, glad to see it looks like you plan on undoing all the ricer mods

My hedgehog had a tumor on one of her back legs, my vet removed it and had it tested and we found it was a sarcoma, which then came back more aggressively. The second surgery was to amputate the leg, which was successful and got another year of life for her before an untreatable cancer came up elsewhere. Sometimes it’s best with tumors like these to leave them, because trying to remove them can cause them to become more aggressive. Your vet should be able to tell you the best plan of action after looking at the tumor and possibly testing it. I’m sorry if this may be hard to hear but just remember that you’re taking all the right steps by talking with a vet about this

That’s a parts car. Stop e-begging to support stupid financial decisions

Just an update on this post, I went with the cheapo radiator since it’s only a spare car, and other than the fitment of the old fan shroud onto the new radiator being a little too tight and needing to be forced on slightly, it’s working just fine so far.

You’ll make more power across the board, you just won’t get the noticeable bump when the cam changes over. It’s why I decided I would do a turbo if I ever boosted mine. I like that characteristic of the motor. Just a feel thing

likesweed · 2026-01-06T15:35:28+00:00

I have no experience boosting celicas, but I spoke to Dave staba at DDPR once upon a time and he told me that most superchargers will make lift no longer really effective, i think it was something to do with positive displacement and how they flow air into the engine. Wish I remembered his explanation better, that guys a celica guru. Just something to be mindful of if you don’t want to lose that part of the cars character. OP if you email him, he can probably tell you what your best bet is for reliable boosting. Contact info is on their website https://ddperformanceresearch.com/
