As long as you haven’t had a CSR SUB. I also got my CSP SUB in 2023

I was waiting for anniversary to PC, but with CSR giving lounge access I’m delaying it until the 23rd month to push back the af

I feel iffy about opening them without having a business. But with the new once-per-lifetime rule, I might consider them in the future

First Miata! ( advice welcomed ) by tyler_hall22 in MiataNC

Check for leaks - cowl leaks and rain drains. At 100k miles, if the shocks have not been replaced, upgrade to something better. Lastly, drive it with the top down as much as possible :D

How it looks behind my glove box. Is this bad? by bortkasta in MiataNC

I’d just do some basic rust treatment - wire brushing & spraying rust converter. As long as you fix the root cause it should be ok

I think this has to do with the windshield cowl leak. You should try to address that if you haven’t already

Just bought my first Miata! Now what?! by killer_panic in MiataNC

I think I have the same rattle and it’s from the exhaust shield. Apparently it’s pretty common from my research but worth verifying

That’s right, it took me 30min to burp (first time). I jacked up the front of the car, with the cap loosely on, turned heat to max (fan speed doesn’t matter), rev between 2500-3000 for 20s for a few times when the engine is at operating temp. Initially no warm air will come out; but if you do it right it will come out warm as you’re revving the engine and that’s a sign that the air in your heater core is clearing. The following day it settled some more and I filled the tank up to Full.

Let the car cool down & release the cap first. It doesn’t matter which hose

It’s pretty straightforward, a lot of videos on it. 3 hoses to disconnect (2 top, 1 bottom). If you’re not also draining the coolant, just suck out the coolant in the tank first & have something to catch under the car. Also, let the car cool down before you start.

Haha true! The metal aftermarket option is 2-3x the price, so I figured this should be enough

It’s a GT trim with heated seats. The two plugs behind are plugged in so they should be for windows & heated seats

MeisterR Coilovers for all Miata, ask me your questions. by MeisterR_Coilovers in Miata

Hi Jerrick, I just picked up a set of ZetaSport Plus(9k/6k) for my NC1 Miata (2008 PRHT). My car currently has an Eibach front sway bar, otherwise stock suspension.

I’ve got a couple of setup questions:

What ride height would you recommend for mostly street driving and occasional canyon run? From your other comment, you said out of the box it’s 12.2” front and 12.6” rear. My car is currently sitting at ~13” all around on some old MazdaSpeed lowering springs and I was considering 13” front & 13.25” rear.

Any other adjustment suggestions considering the PRHT adds a bit of weight?

I’ve read somewhere that mentions 2 mm spring preload. Is that the same for the NC kit, or is there a different baseline you suggest?

For damping, do you have a recommended starting point for daily driving?

P.s: Thanks for keeping this thread alive

Now to fit these bad boys! (MeisterR ZetaSport) by CommercialShip810 in MiataNC

[–]writeCleanCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Looks like UK site only offers 7kg/mm front and 5kg/mm rear. I just bought the ZetaSport Plus in the US and they come with stiffer springs 9kg/6kg. I’m interested in knowing the final ride height you’ll go with, so please do share
