Clutch pedal has no weight to and is really easy to push in. I'm guessing first bleed the fluids? I already checked the levels(brake and clutch) and they're okay. Besides bleeding it, what else should I do afterwards? Google said it could be the slave cylinder but I'm not sure

>>15069436
If the clutch is light it's either the slave or master cylinder. Usually it's the slave cylinder. Check for leakage on both and replace accordingly. Then bleed and you should be good

Cooler than any LS swap

yeah if you take the right wheel off you should be able to see it. Check the rubber boot on the slave if its covered in fluid you slave needs to be replaced.

So my driver's side fog light went out the day after I put new bulbs in. I'm thinking it's the wiring but I can't find any information about it online. All I know is that the NB1 fog lights were port installed, and are some obsolete model from Hella. I'm really bummed, I bought some yellow bulbs so I could have yellow driving lights but now my wiring is all fucked up.

there is no way that engine (or any other DOHC V8) could physically fit in a Miata engine bay. It's going to be way to wide and possibly to tall.

>>15069864
Yes, you are correct, supposedly the Coyote is just barely wider than the actual opening of the engine bay. Pipe dreamers gonna pipe dream yo.

I recently finished off a set of RE11As, and am between jobs so I put on whatever shitty economy tires my local shop pushed at me. Holy shit, I can kick the rear out whenever the fuck I want (the fat rear sway bar & lsd certainly help). Amazing in some ways, unsafe in others.

I've had this car for 7-8 years (5 of which I also had a 19 psi STI) and have spent about 20 hours on a track with it, but goddamn it still makes my day whenever I drive it.

It's open diff for sure.
Pre 93 mazdas had vlsd as an option, but vlsd becomes open diff after some time.

Nevertheless it's still a decent price, assuming it's in a decent condition. Especially if it's some other color than red.

>>15074469
The price seems a bit too high, though don't hold me on that, i don't live in the USA.
For a proper DD i'd look for retractable hardtop version if you have the money. That extra weight is not exactly desirable but in the end the comfort you get with it is worth it.

i googled and I have not found anyone that has done it

there was one guy that was able to fit a 7 series v12 but that's a luxobarge engine that probably doesn't even rev to 6500 and even then the hood couldn't fit anymore

i called my local bmw dealer.....they don't have any new s85's but they have rebuilt ones (only thing not brand new are the block and heads) for $28,000

miata's main attributes are: FR, 4 banger, lightweight, 2 seater, convertible

not a lot of options really, at least at the miata price range. E30 comes to mind, not a 2 seater though. E36 is another option, it's a lot bigger than a miata though. some other options: Z3, AE86, S13, S2000, maybe even a 240Z or a 280zx.

if you want to branch out to MR cars there is always the MR2. all 3 gens are good.

Hey guys, I'm gonna check out a hard top and bring my Miata over. I don't have Frankenstein bolts on mine, but the seller does on his and is offering them. His car is the same model year as mine. If I end up buying, all I need to transfer the stuff over is a nice long screwdriver right?

>>15085803
Yup, pretty much. Remember to get the side brackets for the hardtop as well. They'll be tight though, so maybe take an electric drill with a phillips tip.

Today, my Miata would NOT shift into reverse. It also made a grinding noise going into first and overall hates going from first to second and is ridiculously notchy until it gets warmed up.

Could this be something as simple as just pulling the shiftboot off and replacing the oil in there? I recently got new plugs, timing belt, seals everywhere, whole 60000 mile maintenance, so the transmission fluid SHOULD be good since they say they drained and filled it.

>>15086774
Have you checked the clutch slave? It's a common failure with miatas. Grab the boot on it and if it leaks a bit change it. It might just be low on clutch fluid too.

Damn I forgot how slick matching hardtops looked. Every time I see them in the wild they're mismatched. I was gonna get a black one for my white NA but now I'm having second thoughts.

Eh I think certain colors look better matched than others. I decided to mismatch mine when I bought an old beat up, clear coat peeled off top a couple years ago. I ended up liking it better.

>>15102232
when I started looking for hard tops I was split between a matching one and a black one as well (had access to both), so I went to Treasure Coast Miata where a few friends work and they let me try on a black one, and I didn't really like it too much.

I do think on certain cars the different color hard top looks good though, red car with black hard top is a clean combo, and I've always liked the mariner blue cars with a white hard top cause smurf.

I've heard the Suzuki Cappuccino be described as "the car for when a miata isn't miata enough". But it legit looks like a toy.

I was planning on painting my wheels black too which probably influenced the black hardtop, but I'm leaning more towards staying silver/gray now and throwing some knockoff basketweaves on to look like pic related. Still looks kinda good but I bet white would look better now seeing yours.

Taking the Miata to my first open track day in a month. What maintenance should I make sure is done before hand? Already have coolant, trans oil and diff oil on order.

>>15103544
Make sure you have good tires
If you're driving the car there and back make sure you have ANOTHER set of good tires

installed a roll bar and fucked my air bag cables up and it threw a code smfh I'm retarded

brakes are #1, I'd probably flush them and put in some high temp brake fluid and some good brake pads off 949 racing or something.

check/change engine oil and check for leaks, get an alignment and check wheel bearings, find some good tires and check proper inflation. check with the track on what kind of safety equipment is required.

some tracks don't allow antifreeze in any of the cars on track so keep that in mind.

>>15104091
>some tracks don't allow antifreeze in any of the cars on track so keep that in mind.

for what purpose?
you'd think that's backwards since antifreeze also has a higher boiling point than water, meaning you're less likely to overheat your car.

>>15104300
antifreeze is really difficult to get off of asphalt and crews hate cleaning it up when people bring their cars on track and blow hoses

>>15104334
So you're just supposed to run water? Or is there an alternative that doesn't boil as easily?

>>15104342
idk man this was just at the drag strip I went to. they didn't allow anybody into test and tune who had ethylene glycol in their cooling system. call your track

>>15104300
So you don't spill that slippery shit all over the track

and anyway, at a 50 50 mix of antifreeze and water, boiling temp is only raised ~7 degrees C. it's the system pressure that increases boiling point the most

My brother ran over my fender lmao
Taking a break from the Miata to work on some other projects.

>>15104342
Run water wetter and water. Coolant doesn't transfer heat as well as water anyway.

Here's my 2000 LS.

>>15104557
pics of engine bay or GTFO

>>15104887
he meant LS as a trim level dude lol. Luxury Sport not Chevy LS

I'm hearing a weird grind from the underside of my 92. It only makes the noise at certain revs, which moves around depending on what temperature it is.
I'm thinking it's the exhaust, am I correct?

Yeah dude, my miata is an LS trim, completely stock. No V8.

>>15108003
Bad news though, he's throwing a CEL. I have to go find somewhere that scans for free so I can figure out what I need to do

buy one of the obd2 readers off amazon mate, best 15 bucks I ever spent. it's worth it to save the hassle of finding someone with a reader imo

Why do miata owners have to be such bullying assholes

>>15108068
Explain

>>15108076
Most of the people spamming rwd are miata owners, whenever someone wants a car they keep spamming miata, miata drivers on the street act more like assholes than bmw

>>15108080
You made a lot of baseless assumptions there senpai

>>15108036
Just stopped by vatozone for some instant gratification. My car has excessive flow from EGR system at idle. I'm assuming that I should probably clean the valve and replace the gasket? This is gonna be my first big project for my car so I'm gonna have to do some research.

Should I sell my DRZ400SM to turbo my 93? I'd go with the FM2 no electronics kit and just piece the rest together myself.

>>15109641
damn dude I was just thinking of selling one of my bikes to turbo my shit too, it's tough to decide but I don't ride that much anymore and why have 2 bikes.
I guess what you should ask is what would you use more, the car or the bike?

I think I'd use the car more. I love the bike, but I don't find myself using it a whole lot anymore. My handful of friends that had bikes sold them all, so I have no one to ride with anymore. That, and there's not really a lot of fun places to ride in the area. The only real use I've been getting out of it, is my ~3mile round trip to work when it's warm out, or an occasional solo ride on weekends. For some reason, I've been kind of scared to ride it, too. I just have this weird feeling like I'm going to get killed on it, which I never had before.

why is this allowed

>>15108282
what an easy way to throw off all criticism
heres some more material
>lol you hate us cause you aint us

>>15110424
no one is buying an auto miata for that price. or really any price unless a tranny swap is in order, and in that case $2k max.

>>15110424
Its actually not allowed and you should report the posts of faggots that do that.

got back from the alignment shop and it turns out my car won't hold alignment because all the suspension bushings are fucked. On a scale form 1-10, how much of a pain in the ass would it be to to the job myself? I got access to a homemade hydraulic press and an impact gun.

>>15110521

How do I go about that? I couldn't find a report option and google gave me nothing.
