What have you done to your Miata today?

[WillD]

The lip looks awesome! You have any plans to paint it or get it painted? (I think you should!)

What was your throwout bearing doing?

Pablo, let me know if you need help putting any of that stuff in.

 

[princess peach]

most likely I will, but since its getting really cold now I'm not in a hurry to buy anything and have it sit in my living room

 

[WillD]

I completely understand that. I've been wanting to take the calipers off have them PC'ed then rebuild them along with some other general maintenance stuff but don't feel like it when it's 8 degrees outside

 

[princess peach]

yeah, too bad cuz it's a great chance to swap that turbo

trying to find illuminas for my car before going with . . . . . . racelands. . .

I like the FM springs, but with 3 of my 4 illuminas completely blown as one of the broken (currently rolling on an NB shock which has nearly NO travel) i need something done

trying to find illuminas for my car

Would NA bilsteins work with the FM springs? They might last longer

 

[mx-p5]

the springs aren't recomended for stock shocks, but i'm not certain on the bilsteins

 

[nate0123]

I drove a mostly stock 94 R package with the OEM bilsteins and really liked the way it rode.

 

[JamesCH]

IIRC Bilstein's are a good match for FM springs.

 

[mx-p5]

found some Bilsteins with 15k miles on em on CR but they're in Socal and 99% of the socal guys won't ship. . .

i'll be picking up the bilsteins then if he will ship though

 

[nate0123]

Found this on m.net

Bilstein HD - heavy duty replacement shock for stock ride height.

Bilstein Sport - Heavy duty shock for use in conjunction with lowering springs. Same valving as HD; shorter piston.

 

[mx-p5]

fail

the listing says they're for sports, but in the link itself they're HD's

 

[nate0123]

I think the OP says sold anyhow...

 

[mx-p5]

it does but he still bumped it with "Still available"

My dad keeps trying to get me to paint it, but its just going to get scraped up and I kinda like the black flows nicely with the headlights...
and what isnt my throwout doing is a better question lol

Oh and FM is sold out of the flywheels... So i think I am going to go with something else.

 

[WillD]

That doesn't sound good at all!

I'm with your Dad, I like the lip unpainted but I think it would look better painted.

 

[aMaff]

that sounds like s*** (boom07)

 

[Tungsten6]

Yeah lol. It drives me nuts. One of the local idiots drives his car around with that damn noise just rattling away. Drives me nuts

I'm about to go drop it off at racekor shop.

 

[WillD]

Mine has been noisy for like two years,but it's not nearly like that and it goes away with the slightest pressure on the clutch pedal so I just ignore it

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah, same with mine. Very faint, but you can hear it.
