What have you done to your Miata today?

[mx-p5]

the alternator is still on there snug and still spinning the belts, just very noisy when first started or when i flip the lights on

Going to pick up the parts this afternoon to have it back quiet again tonight

 

[JamesCH]

Ouch. I came across the last run of an autocross blowing steam out of the overflow, but beyond that it was actually not a terrible failure, fortunately.

It was the night I bought the car too!

My alternator sounded like a supercharger for about a week before it died

 

[mx-p5]

Tensioner bolts and bracket installed and no more squealing

I get sad every time you guys say you have to put your cars in storage. :/ I bet i would miss driving it pretty bad.

i bet those switches get you bitches. (lol2)
the wood trim looks excellent too. stay classy my friend.


Mxp5: glad you found the problem.
note to self: check the belts and tensioners periodically
fog lights look good.

glad I could save money on those wheels & tires, they are just drag dr46s. I was originally going to get my track wheels and tires first then the street wheels but since it was so cheap I thought I might as well get these now to allow me to save money so i could get my track set sooner.

a friend wanted to sell some wheels. so i jumped on it. wheels, tires + hubcentric rings for $350

Mine needs to get into storage soon. November 1 thru mid April (at least). Gotta pull the head at some point too. Definitely looking forward to that...

I like them, and the old man knob/handbrake...I just need a nice wood wheel:

I'll make you a deal on a NA with hard top, plenty of ground clearance, and pre rusted.

 

[WillD]

Thanks but I'll pass

That steering wheel would look gorgeous in your car BTW.

 

[mx-p5]

oh fun fact

Wes at Treasure Coast Miata says i'm on NB springs. . . . that might explain the epic 4x4'ness

 

[WillD]

Time for some FM springs?

 

[mx-p5]

i have been contemplating it (since i've already got illuminas)

But then i want to just go for FM v-maxx's and then i decide just leave it alone and keep saving for a bike


Sucks cause the car HAD FM springs on it (I even have a picture of the car lowered in the folder of stuff i got from the PO) but it was too stiff for him so he swapped em out

 

[roy obanion]

cut some coils off em

 

[Tungsten6]

Yea! and if you chop too many off and hate the ride. You can have mine.

 

[JamesCH]

Just get NB suspension mounts and enjoy the extra travel!

 

[nate0123]

Meaning the stock NB springs?

Still enjoying the FM V-Maxx? I have a line on a lightly used set.

 

[mx-p5]

i have a line on some too but he won't take em off his car before he sells it
