The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

haha two of my three run. I mean I just want a running miata. But thank you for the offer!

No problem, anytime. I too would like running Miata. That might take a few years though.

I would really like a running 6, that has been a multi-year project.

 

[tweiss3]

I'm curious now, why isn't your miata running Patrick?

He has a thread for it. Hole in oil pan, he pulled a seriously bent rod and other parts from it.

Son of a .......

I guess I suck for missing easily linked threads. Also, how the hell did he bend a rod that bad?

 

[pmartz16]

Only thing I can think of is they were winding it out and missed an up shift. Like trying to go 2-3 and hit 1 or 4-5 and hit 3 then kaboom

I'm not sure it would go that wompus on a missed shift. I would think there would be more head damage than rod damage, but what do I know. I've seen someone in a 6i stretch a rod during an autox run.

He said his son was just driving to work but who knows. Its the 4th car his son has blown up

Is it the 1.6 or the 1.8? What are your motor plans, you just said JDM ordered.

Do you think the transmission is ****** too if they missed a shift?

I am ordering a motor from Japan on Monday. Doing two VVT jobs this weekend and that will pay for it.

I hope not. I mean I will find out I guess. It has 152k miles so the clutch is getting replaced while I'm in there and everything from Mazda is so damn cheap that I don't have an excuse to not do it

ME too!! I haven't gotten to drive my miata since I bought it the week before Easter

I'm sorry homie. There is a 1.8 for sale near me. Just rip that one out plop the new one in and build the one you have to handle the boobs

 

[pmartz16]

I mean boost

Transmissions can be rebuilt pretty easily. SM guys do it all the time.

He would need a new computer to go with that 1.8 because it is from an NA. Probably some other differences as well.

No, you meant boobs, because driving a miata attracts plenty of man boobs.

Sorry, it was right there, I couldn't help it.

The transmissions are cheap to buy used too, if i remember correctly.

 

[pmartz16]

Every girl that has seen pictures of it or has seen it loves it so far so I think it attracts the proper kinds of boobs. I figured the base 1.8 would be the same. Like the bottom end. Levi may just be able to rip his out and drop this one in. I'll read up

Edit: So far what I am seeing is that there is just ports for water/oil that the normal 1.8 does not have. Sorry Levi I thought I was onto something. The rods and pistons are the same though

 

[thejeans]

It's all good. Having a wrenching day on July 19th to hopefully put her back together... Hopefully that fixes it

 

[pmartz16]

what is your plan to do? spare motor? Is it already out and at the machine shop?
