I know it sounds autistic, but what is the best looking brand name to have painted tires? Im looking at buying a new set and I want to paint them a dark grey just to slightly stand out as premium tires
Car is a VZ holden SS ute hence why im going a dark grey or gold and not white like some jap or german cars look great with

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but how do the teeth of gears not break? They seem so small for something that is supposed to be moving a ton of weight around at 100+ horse power and lb foot of torque. Do some of the teeth break eventually?

1. They are a hard metal like diamonds
2. They don't experience that much force unlike a diff, which has bigger teeth
They do break but they're engineered for perpetual load so I think wear is more of a problem, at least when you're not neutral dropping like an idiot kid.

This video explains it all
Basically the gears are spinning at the correct speed before they're jammed into each other

What this cunt really means is get a Falcon
I know this is the least miata of all the miatas but the 2013 club manual looks pretty good. Thinking of getting one.
Most likely going to be a daily for a few years, will probably modify it a few months or so after purchase, is the 2.0 have any kind of performance aftermarket?
Reasons why I want an NC over an NA
>Faster
>Modern Conveniences
>Slick Paintjob
>Updated NC
>Not a deathtrap
>Factory retractable Hardtop
Not a big fan of the styling and performance NB and the ND is over-budget.
I know this should be in the miata thread but I want some more feedback, my budget is 20k.

just buy an NB. it's modern enough. what kind of shitty conveniences to do you need?

>retractable hardtop
What the fuck why would you ever do this.
Get a very and make it a hardtop or keep it a vert; don't ass extra weight and more shit to repair in addition to less trunk space. It's the vert equivalent of paddle shifters

It's the best looking Miata just get it

make everything rwd with optional true awd.
>>
FWD cars with a lot of german over engineering put into the differential to remove fwd negatives.
optional awd via electric motor on the rear wheels with a small battery pack for hybridization. also allows the car to be EV only for 20 miles to avoid congestion fees in europe and get tax credits.
all internal combustion engines are now super small turbos that rev really high.
7 speed manuals 9 speed dual clutch flappy paddle boxes.

1. New Water Pump
2. New Fuel Lines cause they ripped
3. New Distributor Cap and Rotor
4. New Spark Plugs
5. New PCV Valve
6. Did the smoke test and the only places where smoke comes out is the bpt valve, the weep holes on the vacuum switches and out the top of the carburetor.
7. New Radiator Cap
8. New Anti-Dieseling Solenoid
9. Fixed 2 electrical shorts thanks to the multi meter measuring on the fuse box
10. Replaced a corroded terminal on the ecc main relay and at the same time got the anti-dieseling solenoid and the rest of the engine to receive battery voltage.
11. Manually testing the EGR and BPT valves and they both work fine.
12. Found out that the oil pressure sending unit for some reason became unplugged so plugged that back in
13. Plugged the vacuum hoses to both the tvv valve and the vacuum control valve and problem doesn't go away
14. Hooked a vacuum gauge to one of the hoses and it reads steadily around 5-8 inhg at idle.
15. Hooked it up to one of the hoses that goes to the manifold and reads the same thing. It should read around 17-22 Inhg.
16. Turns out that the vacuum switch that is connected to the exhaust plugs was bad, took that off so now on the vacuum gauge it steadily reads around 15 inhg and revving the engine it goes up to 18 inhg and back down to 15 inhg. Something else is wrong with it.
16. Replaced both fuel filters and it did not fix it.
17. Replaced all of the plug wires with a brand new set that fit.
18. Sprayed soapy water around the base of the carb and the idle rpm's wasn't affected
19. Found out that the exhaust manifold is cracked. Replaced the exhaust manifold and the O2 Sensor and it's still idling roughly.
20. Disconnected and plugged all the lines that go to all of the emissions control components to no effect.
21. However i noticed that the timing is bouncing around and it shouldn't do that. The exhaust side #1 plug has erratic reading while the rest on that side reads nothing. HELP!

Another thing to add is that the idle rpm's kept going up and down. I'm starting to think that this is a computer controlled problem like at the carb or the ECC.
>>
>>16126946
What year is it? If it's carbd it's not likely to have a computer (my 85 Subaru only has test wires) but I would love to see you get some answers because my Subaru is idling rough and I've replaced lots of the same parts as you to no avail. The only thing I have to add is that I changed my battery leads, and when I did at first I couldn't get as good of a ground as it had before and this poorly effected my idle.

>>16127837
The year of my Nissan 720 is 1985. That was the year before diagnostic tools were introduced in CPU controlled cars. It does have a first generation ECU and the carb is not injected, it's computer controlled. I'm guessing that the ECU in my Nissan's gone bad.

Don't get the fiero and don't spend 5k on an MR2 unless it's got the 4agze and it has 0 rust.
