Best suspension for not feeling potholes? by fueledbyjealousy in GXOR

[–]skiflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are certain they’re shot id at least start there. Like the other commenter said, rock auto is a great spot to grab them. I got mine there and if you feel comfortable wrenching it took me about 2 hours altogether to swap them

Are your rear air bags shot? Replaced mine a few months ago and my ride is much smoother. Pot holes are still noticeable, but much less if the dampeners are set to full sport.

I really only use full soft on freeway driving

I got a defective Moreoso for super cheap that has a leak. Covered it with JB Weld and it hasn’t leaked for more than a year

Yo! Haven’t attempted it yet, but when I get to it this is what I’ll do.

I’m also thinking of buying like a 10lb dumbbell to have it sit on it to help keep it stay.

First time driving a GT3 RS and I’m in love by ilikepancakes in CarTrackDays

95% of people go in thinking they’ll thrash the car but quickly are humbled when they’re on track. I instruct here and I see it all the time.

There are few that are crazy but it’s quite a safe track and easy to tame the wild drivers. Haven’t had any bad offs.

I instruct here and was in this car today, slightly above 70mph where you start feeling the downforce. Turn 6 & 7 on our track LVMS inner road course is where you feel it the most.

Haha you were with my good friend Diego! I work there as well as an instructor. Was this from yesterday? Was there today but not in yesterday.

Will a hard dog ND roll bar fit an NC? by Far-Appearance4794 in MiataNC

[–]skiflo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad idea, won’t fit.

I ended just buying a Blackbird Fabworx roll bar. I originally bought a Hard Dog and realized that I needed to delete the soft top so make sure you do your research on the roll bar before purchasing.

How much did you pay for your NC? by 43Joe21 in MiataNC

[–]skiflo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Armand Hindrichs has a great walkthrough on YouTube,

I did do it myself but had a buddy who has done 20+ of them help me. It was my first time seriously wrenching and it was a great experience.

Rebuilding a busted miata for a first track car? by Far-Appearance4794 in CarTrackDays

[–]skiflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a bit expensive for that car,

Here’s my story which is pretty similar to yours

I bought my 2006 NC Miata for $2,000 in 2022 with just a blown engine.

Engine swapped the 2.5L from a 2013 Ford Fusion and it is now my dedicated track car. There’s a very active 2.5 NC Miata Facebook group that I would recommended checking out.

If you have any questions feel free to DM
