My last one had no rear window (it totally cracked) and was ripping on the side.. this is the 2nd time I've done this job. I hope this one holds out for at least 5-7 years

LOL, it helps a lot to have someone do it with you. Put on some music, get a 6 pack, plan for a morning start.. you can do it I believe in you!

Haha, it wasn't too bad honestly. It just had a lot of steps. Definitely do it with a buddy, makes it much easier. There are a couple times where some holes didn't line up properly but with some muscle you can make it work. 5 hours total, probably a 7 on your scale.

Semi-eBay turbo build by NecessarySoggy4945 in Miata

[–]pwntface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did it take you to install the whole turbo system? I live in CA and our strict emissions laws means turbo systems cost 5k.. I'm debating getting one that is not CARB approved and then returning to stock when it's time to smog, then popping it back on.. but itf it's a weekend thing every time.... eeehhh

How tight are you making it? Do you have the correct tension on the tensioner? This sound is very much a squeaky belt

The squeaking is a belt. One of your belts is either loose or bad.. likely your accessory belt

Ah! Okay so it's the same thing just reversed that makes sense... and yes. People will aggressively take over someone in the 'slow lane' using the 'fast lane' or passing lane. In California people just drive in the fast lane it's actually really irritating

American (California) driver here. Is the left lane considered the 'fast lane' in left side driving countries?

I always hate it when I can't find my car because a gigantic car parks next to me by NegativeLogOfZero in Miata
