What have you done to your Miata today?

[roy obanion]

Just gift me the speed, that will solve your problems. Plus I am sure it has some pricey maintenance coming up soon.

I thought you had the FM catalog memorized!



^This. I'm getting the 13.5 lb flywheel as that is what they recommend for superchargers. I do wonder how much lighter the pedal will be as I have read it is a bit lighter than stock. Hoping it isn't too bad, otherwise jumping between this one and the Speed is going to be that much harder.

I had a lightweight flywheel on mine before going back to a stock one (~18lbs?). You will loose engine rpms a little faster, but it's nothing crazy. I didn't really change my driving style. Granted mine is turbo, not SC though.

I swapped out the lightened one because the 6-puck the previous owner had installed was simply vile to drive on the street.

Everything you ever wanted for a serious clutch and flywheel setup!

Hahaha, you would think so right? But since I have that stupid ass ACT clutch, I never looked into anything else seriously (unless I just got out of stop and go traffic and hated it). I did want to get a flywheel though.

Sprung or un-sprung? Mine is currently unsprung, so I feel your pain.

so... have you guys seen the 2013 miatas yet?

Nice porn stache!

 

[aMaff]

Someone should buy me this for Christmas.

 

[THE Phen]

That NC needs to have a body color bumper. That's just... I dunno. Goofy looking.

Nice try bud.

That's what wives are for.

The NC in the picture Ryan posted isn't stock. It has an actual good ride height.

 

[THE Phen]

Haha, good point.

If it is not one thing it's another

i go to get in the miata to go to work and no fuel pump again. . . .

Not sure if it's the fuel pump or something else. Turn the key to on and i get no sound from the dash that usually comes on before the pump. Kept flipping they key to on and of an don and off but left the key in on for 10 seconds while i cooled off and then heard the fule pump kick over and it started.

So i let it run, shut it down and tried again and no pump.

So i went back in, hopped on the scoot and came to work. i dunno what's going on now

 

[THE Phen]

Ignition switch going bad?

 

[mx-p5]

Hmmm good guess. Ill check it out this weekend.

 

[THE Phen]

Worst case, you can do what I did with my GTI when I had similar issues. I ran a 2nd power feed to it with a toggle switch and relay. If the key didn't kick it on, the switch did.

 

[aMaff]

Could be a bad main relay too.

I can't recall off-hand... if it was sprung it was very stiffly so.

Could be a bad main relay too.

Maybe a fuel pump relay. I don't think the dash would be turning on if it were the main relay.

Derp, you're right.

 

[mx-p5]

I finally found a cure to my nose bleeds

[nate0123]
