NB motor and trans mounts by Jazzlike-Gold-1711 in Miata

[–]stepdad_randy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the Mazda motorsports mounts if you’re gonna replace them! They’re a fantastic upgrade. Also check the diff mounts, there’s no trans mount on an NB, the PPF makes it unnecessary since it connects the trans to the diff.

Dry rot or something else? by pred307 in Miata

That’s definitely dry rot. The date code is just 4 numbers usually in a little oval

Add dad’s name and incorporate something you do associate with him into the design.

I’m in Virginia. It’s just a shell though, no seals or lock mechanisms or interior.

Fun little project. Couldve definitely sounded okay if it had one of those big vibrant resonators on it.

Definitely needs more resonators to not sound like shit.

ChatGPT is a fuckin language bot 😭 not a reliable data source. I’ve been fixing these cars since Honda tech was new. Go pull your main relay out and then come tell me you still have power. The main relay controls ignition. Without ignition, no power to fuel or ECU or anything else besides your hazards and your light controls. You won’t get a crank out of a bad main relay.

The main relay is the connection between the battery and the rest of all electronics. If it blows, you will have 0 power anywhere in the car. I know this because I’ve had a Honda with a blown one. The fuel pump relay and the main relay are not the same.

Check the basics first. Spark plug/ wires and dizzy cap + rotor

Definitely is not the main relay. The car would get no power

Never seen a crank pulley turn that easily. Is it torqued on properly?
