What have you done to your Miata today?

[princess peach]

Replaced brake lines, rotors, pads, fluid and exhaust hangers. Car feels much better now.

Picked her up yesterday in Fort Collins, CO and brought her home (Parma, OH). Needs some maintenance and a bit of work, but I couldn't pass up the deal!

congrats! love the new ride!

thanks!

replaced tranny and diff fluid over the weekend, she didn't perform as I expected on Sunday so I'm putting my old suspension on tomorrow and having it aligned over the weekend.

 

[Droopy]

What suspension did it have?

 

[princess peach]

speedtech coilovers: 391 front, 355 rear - don't know what the alignment is

old setup: koni yellow + GC sleeves & springs (375 front, 250 rear) + FCM top hats

Mo betta. Needs more spring though. Lots more spring

 

[WillD]

That's what I said.

 

[princess peach]

LMAO... it felt good on the MSM, if I can manage to save some cash I might upgrade to the good stuff. Not everybody has Will's budget...

The STs are fine for street or slamming the car, but didn't like the car at all on the course. Baby steps.

 

[WillD]

The 375/250 Koni is a great dual purpose setup. Don't worry about what Maff says, he doesn't have to drive it on the street.

The ST's spring rates are just stupid.

 

[Droopy]

You gonna part with the gc sleeves? I'd like a set

 

[princess peach]

no, putting them on today

I don't now, but I did take it to work on nice days when it was on 700/450s

This, x eleventy brazillian

Try these. I like them so much better than the GCs. They're lighter, you can run lighter springs on them, they've held up to wear and tear better than the GCs. Jegs' page says they're for 2.5" springs, but I'm PRETTY sure they're actually 2.25", and you need a cheap adapter for them to work properly with 2.5" springs

+1. If they are in fact for 2.25" springs, just run that size spring because they're lighter.

And typically the same price as 2.5" springs. I was and am running 2.25x6" springs on all 4 corners. Added lightness ftw

For sure!

 

[Reitrof]

Changed the oil and rotated the tires.

 

[thejeans]

Got my rod bearings, front and rear main seals, as well as a Mazda wiring diagram and workshop manual... Now I just need the weekend to come to hopefully get her back on the road...

 

[WillD]

Take some pictures of the progress!

I got some Cibie H4 conversions for my Miata. Yay for being able to see better at night.

 

[princess peach]

Replaced the suspension last night, so far the car feels a bit more jumpy on the road (not as smooth\solid) BUT it feels lighter when I turn. Haven't pushed it yet, dropping it off today to get the alignment.
