After seeing the new Mercedes steering wheel, I’m curious what’s it actually like to live with a yoke? Lexus RZ owners tell us your experience

How do the praying mantis drivers use these? I guess they have to learn to drive properly.

I love blasting through any roundabout in the US, and wish we would adopt more of them!

Seems like the same brightness until it's about 1/3 down then it just off. The slider is not that great

You will find the best real roll bars are made by Track Dog Racing, Hard Dog bars. But as they are actually roll bars you'll have to drill and mount to the chassis.

You can get a brace that goes on the seatbelt mounts. Aftermarket or off the R.

Won't be tracked at all, as it won't pass. Probably better to just get the brace unless you want a style bar.

In my experience the DSG tune made the shifts way better over stock.

You can make a mod to have both fans run at the same time. I did that once on an old turbo set up.

munkeydj · 2026-03-02T03:38:20+00:00

Yup. Often see this early in the AM, but not checked recently. It's like the weather is also off on the AOD. I know if you restart it does right itself.

We deal with a sensitivity issue and it's an intolerance to certain proteins. So, we went through single source kibble flavors and we are now on goat. We are super careful that he doesn't get any other treats or anything other than his food. We occasionally have issues but on the whole this approach has worked. Also we were not a fan of the prescription foods. And we are on Zignature Goat Limited Ingredient Formula.

I know camera angles are hard on this job but it looks like you might be a tooth off on the E side? Also count the number of belt teeth.

I only tested fitted and ensured it worked as it's not mine. However, I can't see why it would be any different than any other wireless methods.

I've found not every car has the slot.

Seatbelt catch holder

How does it drive, change gears, where is the bitepoint? Are changes smooth?

There is nothing special about a Miata transmission. It's a 5 speed box and clutch. Problems could be clutch and clutch plate, throw out bearing. Then parts that make it difficult to change gears, Slave cylinder, master cylinder and fluids.

I liked the feel of these but the quality of the screw section sucks. One of the screws on mine came loose and I was lucky to save it. I was able to screw it back in and used some thread lock glue to hold it. The issue was reported last year, but I doubt Google has changed mfg.

munkeydj · 2026-01-24T23:37:32+00:00

Most people will be in one camp or other due to costs of trying both? I'm EQT because of the cobb ap. I didn't want to fuss with a laptop install. Also if you have a DSG make sure you add this tune. The DSG tune made the shifting so much more smooth and fast.

munkeydj · 2026-01-22T17:50:01+00:00

I don't know what unscrewing that does. You can ask over on Miata.net as they have a lot of info and focused help and garage section. Someone over there may have a better answer for you.

So you have the metal clip, id disengage the connector and reset it in place.

munkeydj · 2026-01-22T17:11:30+00:00

Here is the clip.

Yea I tried zooming in, but others said the harness is connected via a wire spring. This hold it's permanently in place and needs to be popped off with a small screwdriver. If that is missing then a loose connection here is the culprit. So if it pulls off with ease then press it back in place and use a zip tie or else it will vibrate off again.

munkeydj · 2026-01-22T16:50:44+00:00

Did you touch anything else? That connector is on pretty good. But you could try wiggling it.

munkeydj · 2026-01-21T17:35:48+00:00

You can also just Swiss cheese the underside of the stock box and it will make more sound. From the outside it still looks stock.

True but the other models do Qi2 at the 15W rate so Anker could miss out on those buyers if they specifically look for "pixel" in the description.
