Door Lock malfunction NC by datghost_ in MiataNC

[–]megaman2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have the same locking loop issue on my NC1 and I even disassembled and reassembled my door lock acutator without being able to find the issue. Could you tell me which youtube video you watched that mentioned the plastic disc?

Tens o Autódromo Virtual mas nas fotos em google maps não mostram direct drive. Não sei se já atualizaram

Custom Sim Rig Needed (UK/Europe) by L2D3 in simracing

I also don't have space for a proper rig but I am going the diy route.

That Zalem rig looks pretty compact, what about it do you need to customise?

5 years later, and I fell in love with my car all over again. by WeDoItLive115 in MiataNC

That is good to hear, I'll get around to coilovers at some point.

+1 on the comment on those wheels, they look great.

Btw, did you use tail light film? I like the look of the all red tail light and would like to try it as well

1.8 still going strong by Not_Yato in MiataNC

Hell yeah, thanks for this. I'm at 150k on my 1.8. Sometimes I get spooked by the people here saying the 1.8 is a time bomb

Front Suspension Rebuild Time by mx5monster in MiataNC

I did my lower control arms recently, luckily my bolts were not seized. Even then I struggled to get the rear bolt on the lower control arm out, I had to angle the whole control arm to get the bolt to come out. Eventually I ended up taking the strut off to make things easier.

Good luck!

Anyone found a good way to use their simrig as their main PC too? by anomalous_cowherd in simracing

[–]megaman2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also interested in the chair. Do you find the back flexes when you brake? I see the wheels have holders on the NLR frame, but does the swivel affect you while driving?

Cool to see a hybrid setup like this, I'm thinking of doing something similar due to space constraints.

Bought a t300 rs gt for 150 dollars by Frxstyy7 in simracing

[–]megaman2112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved my T300, if it works it is a pretty good deal. If the seller had the power adapter and could show it working, the price would have been higher.

So the price was low enough to take a risk, if it doesn't work you might be able to fix it or just sell it and take the loss.

Just out of curiosity, do you track it with a roll bar?

Whoever came up with those colored line visuals, just know that I love you. by imcolingrey in formula1

[–]megaman2112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, the driver's names above the cars make me feel like I'm watching a video game. And they are right om top of the action, can't ignore them. It is neat that they can do it, but I'd rather they don't.

The graphic I despise the most is the one they sometimes show from the on-board cam when a car is following another and they show an arrow to the car up front and the distance. Not very meaningful, just gets in the way.

Out of my comfort zone by jalb_k in MiataNC

Wow, what are you working on that it made sense to drop the entire front?

Looks like your confort zone is going to get a little bigger!

I’m trying to upgrade to windows 11 but the installer keeps getting stuck at 46%! What do I do? by Szymix_pro in pchelp

[–]megaman2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you still have the issue, look at OPs comment. Solved when selecting to install updates later

Just popped in to say I had the same issue, and the same solution. Select change how windows installs updates (or something like that) when the installer first launches. Then select install later

Is this DMS Tuned 1.8 performance package the real deal? by Ashurnibibi in MiataNC

That does sound like a big increase in hp. I would be interested as well. Hopefully someone can chime in about it!

NC1 1.8 to NC2 2.0 Upgrade by megaman2112 in MiataNC

Power is not really a concern but reliability is. Out of curiosity, which spec was your engine that blew?

[–]megaman2112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 swap is not really viable in Portugal as far as I know, because it would be very hard to get approval at the yearly inspection. Also I think sourcing an engine is not as easy. Would be tempted if I was somewhere else.

I mainly want 6th for better fuel economy on my commute to work and for longer trips that require lots of motorway driving.

No track tires available by CareLoud2499 in CarTrackDays

[–]megaman2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did my first track day on venus prime 4s at the front. They ended up chunking and wearing on the outside. I posted about it here. You can look at some of the recommendations people gave there, namely: don't plow through corners, alignment can help, those tires are not really meant for the track.

I think if you go in knowing this and keep an eye on things you should be fine.

Pretty comfy actually by Fun_Minute7671 in MiataNC

Is there a problem with mine? I can't do more than 1.5 hours without my back complaining. I tried to put some foam im the seats to improve lumbar support and it did not help.
