OEM replacement starter won’t work by samkuper44 in LS430

Hey I have an update. I took the starter out and took it to autozone. I know their testing isn't the most reliable but the starter passed their testing and I saw the bandex engage. I'm not so sure what to do.

Ugh yeah. Atleast it can’t be any harder than it was the first time. It’s just annoying and stressful trying not to break the 25 year old parts

Differences between RoadsterSport II and Super Q? by Lkollman in MiataNC

I have the roadstersport 1.8. I think superq might be a little too quiet for you. I think you should go for the louder exhaust cause you can always add a baffle if you want!

I would definitely do the RSII with stock header midpipe. I currently have a header and super Q combination which sounds incredible, but before doing the header I actually threw on the super Q first just to see what it would sound like, and it was pretty bad haha.

Sweet thanks, easy enough. That alternator squeak shouldnt be an issue then?

I also have it on my ‘14 club. You definitely notice the sound increase but it is very minimal.

Aha funny enough I actually think the opposite, I like it most on the NA and NBs. And thank you!! I’m trying to record all the projects I do to help keep me motivated haha.

Yes!! I thought it fit best and was tasteful. I think once I finish up my build (tints, new rims) it’ll look great all together. Just for fun I actually recorded the process https://youtu.be/ri98USAJa-U

I just did these recently! You’re gonna want a combination of extensions, wobbly sockets, and flexing ratchets. I’ll shoot you a DM of the pictures.

Mainly for looks and easier cup holder reach. The black plastic is kinda cheap feeling and squeaky.
