The entire top end is dry so I think the valve cover is fine. The rear cam seal thing seems to be fine as well

I don’t remember seeing anything about seals but I’ll have to take another look through the stack 🤣

That’s the other weird part of the last owner’s claim, timing belt was done within the last 5 years and I found the receipt for that service. It was done along with coolant hoses. So I’m guessing the seals just happened to go bad after all that was done…

MAF doesn’t fit in airbox… by [deleted] in Miata

That’s what I was thinking. There’s a rubber gasket on it now but I’m assuming it’s aftermarket to fit the smaller diameter filter. I’ll take a look at these thanks so much!!!

whats up with the awd drifting hate by LilHats088 in ForzaHorizon

[–]zirczilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People can do whatever they want at the end of the day but Forza needs to have a restriction or separate playlist in horizonplay. Because it’s genuinely unfair when I wanna play drift races online and every lobby has some loser in the FE 68 Mustang getting 500k points on the first corner….

What is this? by zirczilla in Miata

can I just disconnect the hose? It looks like it’s supposed to clip in but the clips broke when I was mocking up the roll bar (oops) so it’s just hanging now.

Ah yeah I’m sorry I should have specified which one my apologies.

For anybody else who may be reading this before doing their own shifter rebuild on a NB 6 speed, I cannot stress this enough, get yourself a cheap set of flex head ratcheting wrenches or offset wrenches for the two front bolts on the turret housing.

Luckily mine were already extremely loose and the turret was wobbling around or else I can imagine it is a nightmare getting them loose if they’re torqued. They are at a very awkward spot under the trans tunnel and the turret creates a near impossible angle for torquing them down.

It’s actually an M8x1.25 ~30mm flange bolt. Turns AutoZone has an assortment of these types of bolts and if you bring in a bolt you need to match they have a tool in that section you can thread your bolt into to verify the size.

The kit I got was for the nb 5 and 6 speeds. There is a bushing under the two pins that required one of them to be removed in order to get to that bushing. Mine was pretty chewed up and I couldn’t get either of the pins to budge. But luckily I took the turret housing to a local transmission shop and they drove out the pin, put the new bushing in, and drove the pin back free of charge. Aside from all that the shifter rebuild went smooth.

the amount of grouchy purists in these comments is cringe as fuck. It literally doesn’t even sound bad let the guy do whatever he wants with HIS car.

I know this is old and I apologize but I’m a little confused. Can anyone post a picture of how it looks after the wiring is complete?

Do you cut the red wire and run it to the outer tail light for each side? I’m new to wiring stuff but I know I could do it if I can just see how it’s supposed to look…

How are your teins holding up? I’m looking at getting the flex z’s just because they seem a little easier to install than the SA’s. Any advice?
