according to miataturbo.net, you can see like ~5hp gains with stock megasquirt tuning. You should learn to tune it yourself though either way.

>>15344775
this
use stock to learn how to use tuning software and tune around it, it'll help a lot as you add bits
although i guess you could get new bigger injectors first then tune around those

How do I get a Miata without looking like a faggot?

Is a Mazdaspeed 3 the answer?

>>15344820
Mazdaspeed is literally the gayest Miata. So overpriced for the power it makes. Only decent thing about it is the trans. Buy and NA/NB and start building it. Accept your sexuality

>>15344820
The part that makes you a faggot is thinking that your car is whats giving you a craving for cocks.

Thats a pretty good deal all around. Check for rust in the usual places: lower rocker panels, lower front fenders, trunk and floor pan under seats. Doesn't look like it's been modded so I doubt it was ever driven hard. Ask if timing belt was done at 60k and if not replace it immediately. Good luck hope you get it anon

Tried running the car without swaybars, the comfort was top but the steering was not as responsive and the car didn't handle like a pancake.

Try an extractor/ezout. If that doesn't work drill it out. Get used to this process if you have an NA

I don't think that cars get much more fun than a Miatan, maybe something even smaller and lighter could be more fun. I've about 0 experience with cars, but I have no real problem working with the Miata, everything is very intuitive.

This is the problem with megasquirt.

It is now so easy (literally plug and play), and so cheap to get stand alone management that countless numbers of plebs are installing them in their mazdas, when they have no idea of how to calibrate an engine!

Spend 6 months reading books on engines.
Then try tuning the engine.

You will achieve more clarity of engine performance in 6 hours tuning the car than you could reading the books, BUT you need a full understanding of the mechanical and electrical systems, and a good understanding of the fuel system calculations, and what the parameters in the ecu actually do.
You also need to know what air fuel ratios and ignition timing are all about (in depth, not just what they are).
Without any knowledge you're just changing values and hoping its right.

The auto tune is good. But it won't do acceleration enrichment calibration, cold start or warm up calibrations, idle calibration etc.

None of this is difficult to learn, just fucking do it.
Fuck off

Greg Banish stuff is good for covering the basics.
Read the megasquirt mega manuals till you know them backwards.

What will happen though is you'll find these sources are pretty basic. When you have the engine at full load high rpm and you're trying to watch a wideband gauge, listen for knock through a hose AND drive the car, you want to have everything straight in your mind.

I thought they were smaller than stock, but they have similar circumference to the stock wheel + tire.

How's the 2016 MX-5?

$24k seems like a hell of a price for a nice sports car.

They got good rollbars? I don't want to get crushed and die horribly.

What do they look like with the top up?

>>15360147
a friend of mine bought an ND a few months ago.
from what we can tell, the manual gearbox is tuned for the 1.5l engine, so the 2.0 rips through the gears.
you want the club trim or higher, Sport trim comes with an open diff

>>15360147
with the top up, looks pretty good considering convertibles don't looks great with tops up anyway. google should have some images. I'd recommend the ND in white, very pretty lines.

>>15358485
I lied, it's back now. What do I do to fix this. It's excessive egr flow. Do I have to break the valve down further?

>>15360482
excessive flow? not low flow?
try opening it up and see if any shit broke free since cleaning.

>>15359811
The real world m8. Suspension (and cars in general for that matter) aren't cheap. Spending $300 on the suspension is going to get you crap

>the manual gearbox is tuned for the 1.5l engine, so the 2.0 rips through the gears.
Gross. Is there any fix for that?

>>15360314
I was thinking blue actually. I live in a rural area, dirt shows up too well on bright colors, I already have a white Buick LeSabre as my daily driver that the family has been using for almost 20 years, and I've owned for about 5, so I know dirt on white paint.

Speaking of dust, how well do they handle rough roads and/or dirt roads, we hit a lot of those around here.

>>15360990
I'm both of those anons.
when I said "rips through the gears" I didn't mean damage. it just revs really fast and 6th gear isn't super tall.
I never drove the car on dirt, but the driving dynamics are easy to feel and I was fairly comfortable driving on the edge. just take it slow on dirt.

>>15361020
I see, I've never actually driven a manual before but I really want to learn how (my friend will probably teach me on his Kia sportage because he's the only person I know with a manual) I figure a car like this is like a jeep, you get it for the purpose of driving for the sake of driving, not just to get you around, so for a car like that it's a crime to get an automatic.

>>15361414
you understand a manual driver's car perfectly, welcome.

regular racelands will do fine for street use. you can have them shipped to your door for like $320, make sure you set the helper spring so that you have about 2-3 inches of shock travel before hitting the bumpstop. that will give you a nice clean 1-2" drop while maintaining an excellent return rate.

don't listen to the moronic hype on spending the cars worth on coilovers unless you're tracking the car. if you're routinely pushing the car to the limits, i'm sure racelands won't hold up. however there are countless viable sources who vouch for racelands for street use. the people who immediately discount them either slammed their car with them or are blatant shills for flyin miata.

you're welcome, inb4 10,000 (you)'s from miataturbo & clubroadsters defense force.

>>15361637
P much this I ride on racelands all day long and they are great, as a bonus, if you wanna upgrade later down the line koni 8610 or 8611 inserts are literally a drop in replacement fur the raceland dampers.

You can get a little more power with tighter ignition timing, but you'll need to make sure you run quality fuel, bad fuel or low octane with timing that's too advanced will cause detonation and blow your pistons to shit.

that seems excessive
2 months and its gone?

been living the rotary life for a year now but im getting worn out, prob going to trade in my rx8 for a 2003 NB sport package, all refinements from my rotary engineer dudes garage.

only downside is im over 6foot with long legs and massive feet so the driving position isnt ideal, i was thinking perhaps if i fitted an aftermarket bucket seat or something that could help? either way i want to just be done with the headache and enjoy some blue sky motoring here in the sun

If it's not on the ground, it went into the air.
If you see and smell smoke check if your valve cover is leaking, otherwise it's probably getting past your rings or valve guide(seals)
Just keep dumping oil in it and check often, it's not really the end of the world.

On another note, does anyone have experience with dipping your car? My miata has a few covered up scratches and the paint is flaking on one particulair area.

It costs between 5 and 700 to get it done properly here. Is it worth it, and doable over paint damage, or does it have to be sanded down?

The single stage on my red Miata is pretty badly oxidized and it has a lot of swirls/scratches. What's the best way to fix this myself? Should I buy a DA and some kind of polish or cutting compound? I've never done any sort of paint restoration or anything like that, so I'm kind of lost. It is something I'd like to learn though.

After last weekend's drift event my car handles like shit. It's loose and floaty feeling up front. At 55mph+ it pulls hard in whatever direction you turn. If you slightly turn the wheel at 65 it almost 'grabs' a second into it and pulls the car hard in that direction.

I checked to see if anything was broken or loose. Checked tie rod ends, sway bar connections and control arm bolts and all were tight, not bent or broken. One control arm bushing looked a bit frayed. Could a bad bushing or two up front cause this symptom?

The track where I was at had huge potholes and a bump that I hit a couple of times.

>ITT someone who is jealous of not having an MSM.

Thing about my MSM is people actually take me seriously. They don't look at your car as much as, "lol hairdressing fag" as much as auto enthusiast, just because of branding.

In all seriousness though, you can make 200-210WHP in your MSM with just bolt on's. You'll drop 4K minimum on a turbo setup for an NA miata to reach those numbers. What is better? I guess that is up to you, but I like the uniqueness to my MSM, the appearance, the suspension, the LSD, the warranty that came with while having a factory turbo, the modestly louder exhaust, the improve steering, etc.

The cons to the MSM are pretty minimal: a small turbo that engages late in the RPM range, an ecu that limits a lot of output, the bigger and heavier wheels (though I could list this as a pro since they are pretty fucking nice), the gear ratios make 1st practically useless.

All of these are upgradeable for much less than you'd spend for getting your N/A NB or NA up to speed, and you would gain pretty good numbers at the same time. The FM Little Ench will get you to S2K crushing territory and you'll be able to overtake Lotus vehicles on the track.

I guess it depends on what you want. If you're making an LSX swap Miata, then of course a MSM is not right for you.

I always wanted to drive one wonder if I could fit they are absolutely tiny

Would it be a smart move to sell my 94 NA for a MSM? I wanted to achieve 200-220hp with my current miata but with getting a happy meal, a mega squirt, and quality parts on top of not worrying if my 5speed will get fucked up seems like the same price towards the upgrade+simple bolt ons. The MSM retaining better value, a sturdy chassis and much more room for improvement.

Northern IN here.

I bought her lads. Yesterday I saw my dream car sitting in a roadside dealership's garage on my way home from work: a fully stock, manual, red, Mazda Miata from 1993. I'd seen it three weeks prior but I thought it would be gone by now. At the time the only things wrong was some slight rust on the rear wheel wells and the radiator was leaky.

I see it yesterday and ask if anything has changed with it .He said he had ground off the rust and replaced it with fiberglass and painted over it. He also replaced the radiator and hoses completely as well as the front fenders and the control arms.

I call my dad and tell him we have to scoop this up, the dealer was about to paint it and mark it up to $3800. He said he'd be fine with the price he suggested before, $2600. I actually couldn't believe it. Not only was it still there, but he had made improvements to it and kept it the same price.

My father and I spent about two hours looking at every little thing we could, looking for absolutely anything wrong with it. We both drove it for about 20 minutes each and agreed that everything was in great condition for its age and the asking price.

Easily the most fun I've ever had driving a car in my whole life. I can't believe I was missing out on this for so long. What a fantastic little car.

I think the only thing I really want to do to it is put in an aftermarket radio. I read that it's a pretty small slot though and you have to find pretty specific ones for it though. Is that true? Also the previous owner left the center console a mess of wires. He tore out his radio I guess and left some godawful aftermarket equalizer thing in it. Now there's just this big mess of wires I don't know what to do with. Help.

Congrats anon. Looks great!

As far as the radio thing - no it doesn't need a special size for the radio. Never heard of that rumor. It has two standard din slots so single or double will fit no problem.

Most of the time radio wiring is done incorrectly and is a mess from the previous owner - mine was. Hopefully the factory plug in the harness for the radio is in tact and they just made a poorly connected universal connector for their aftermarket radio. If the plug for it is fine, just unplug what they did and try and clean it up or trash it and buy another universal kit for $15ish. I cleaned up the PO's mess by cutting off where he spliced together with the radio plug.

If it was spliced directly to the harness of the car you will have to do the work in the car - which sucks but is doable.

Pic related. Me cleaning up the harness and wiring it correctly.

Thanks! Hope to clean her up more in the coming weeks!

Unfortunately this is what the previous owner did to the center console... it looks like he literally ripped the radio out.

>>15370432
I'd rather have a 1.8 NB over a 1.6 NA. If you get a 1.6 NA It'll take you a fair amount of mods to even reach the performance of the 1.8 NB. NB has more tuning potential etc. However if you plan on running a standalone ecu, check with your state to see the emissions regulations for your area.

In my area, the obd2 port (only on cars 1996+) must be functional to pass an emissions. If the car is obd1 or obd0, they just use a sniffer in the tailpipe. This makes running megasquirt on a 1996+ street car difficult. As long as the obd1 or obd0 cars run clean enough, they'll pass. Even if they're boosted.

So I got under it and there's a shit load of oil around the crank pulley - seems to be coming from it. Also there's a lot of oil at the back of the oil pan and some on the bottom of the transmission. I want to believe it's coming from just the crank and moved its way back, it kind of looks like it did a little but I have a feeling I'll be replacing the rear main seal too... bet I'll need to buy more tools - and I guess messing with the crank pulley means I may as well do the timing belt and water pump? I wish I had more money, because if I'm pulling the engine out or dropping the transmission, I'd like to throw in that FM clutch kit I've been drooling over for a while. Fuck. But yeah, don't see any oil on exhaust or intake sides. Doesn't seem to be coming from up top either, but I need to replace the valve cover gasket anyway because there is some oil getting to my spark plugs.

88k miles on it btw, fuck my shit up, everything around me has been breaking lately.

Yikes dude. Well at least it still has the single din frame thing so you can mount the new radio easily.

>>15370887

Yeah, those wires are going to be a whole other beast though. I already have an aftermarket radio. I can't just connect the wires right? It can't be that easy. I probably have to buy a specific thing.

>>15370871
m8 check your compression before you pour any money into it. Running an engine dry like you did can fuck your rings up. Also does it knock at all? Might've fucked your main crank bearings too. Oil starvation aint good man.

Does it still have the radio harness plugs?

>>15370953

Nope, just a bunch of wires.

Also I have some kind of blue canister in the back that you seem to not have.

Any idea what that could be? Seems very similar to an aerosol can but I don't know what it could be.

>>15370965
Yeah you will have to find a wiring diagram and solder in the pigtail for the new radio directly to the harness. That won't be fun.

The canister is probably a fuse holder or other aftermarket stereo thing. I'm not the best with those so maybe someone else can chime in.

>>15370977

Ugh, I was afraid it would be a pain like this. It'll be worth it though, I'm definitely willing to put forth the effort. Thanks for the help.

MSM (men who have sex with men) are overpriced and overrated. Get a non turbo and aftermarket it with the FM kit.

Before you get new bushings, go to an alignment shop to rule out any other potential causes.
>>15366035
Don't feel too bad, I once jacked up under the rocker panel and now I have a huge ass dent in it.

>>15365486

>>15371393
Yup 1.8, 68k miles, 2 previous owners,
As far as I can tell it's in very good condition.

>>15371304
oh and you might already know this, but check the rocker panels and clean them out, they have a tendency to collect leaves and dirt which collects water and leads to rust

>>15371417
Thanks for the heads up

>>15371428
no prob, also you might want to consider a muffler delete, its not loud at all but it sounds awesome, and its pretty quiet when you lift off the throttle

Looking at the wiring diagrams for both the Miata and the radio I have, is it possible to just connect the wires that do the same things (ie left door speaker to left door speaker) and have it work without a harness or soldering or anything? The harness is only there to make connecting the radio easier isn't it?

>>15371447
its possible but honestly just use a harness, save yourself the trouble

>>15371457

Hmm, I guess I'll head to Best Buy real quick and see if they have the specific harness for an NA Miata? Or does it not matter and are all harnesses the same?

>>15371495
From what you told us there should be no real choice here. You need to take pic related from your radio and splice it directly into the wires of your harness. Getting an adapter from Best Buy works only if you have the original factory plugs - which you said were gone - so don't bother buying that.

If you are sure that the wires in the console do not connect to two white connectors - meaning they run all the way back as far as you can see then you yeah - you don't need an adapter for your car.

Cut the wires before the tape. That is what you need to wire to the harness. If it's not enough wire you will need to buy a new pigtail for whatever model radio that is. Looks like this pic >>15371568

Okay, that's what I thought. I'm gonna go give it a shot. I've got a couple diagrams I'm going to reference, but apparently the way the early Miata's radio wires are set up they're kind of fucky and inconsistent.

Also my two interior lights aren't working. How do I access the wires for those?

Anyone knows if I can just walk up to any mazda dealership and buy touch up paint for my red 94? I scrapped the quarter panel with my jack and now theres this line that went down to the silver base. it literally scraped the paint off.

I think the previous owner was LITERALLY a hair dresser. There was like four combs in the back of the passenger's seat.

The meme is too real.

Also what would the wires under the seats be for in a 93? There doesn't seem to be anything electrical going on that would need it.

>>15376206
It's for the seatbelt, to tell you if it's latched or not

>>15376212

Ah alright, thank you.

>>15376226

>>15376196

Better pistons, valves, better compression ratio for boosting, VVT that works, Big brakes, 6 speed. Yeah, waste of money. Holy fuck.

I was looking at one NA miata and i noticed that there is a movement in the trim pieces of the doors. I could push them in a bit and when i let go they moved outwards. This can't be normal right?

I'm getting rid of her /o/.

My beloved 1996 blue Hardtop Miata with limited slip, brand new Konigs and summer tires with only 60k miles. I have had it only two months.

I have almost died three times in the past 2 months I have had it. All times a truck did not notice me in it's blind spot and almost merged into me.

I got rid of my motorcycle for the same reason thinking I'LL GET A MIATA INSTEAD SINCE IT'S BIGGER PEOPLE WILL SURELY SEE ME MORE THAN THEY SAW MY BIKE. I even have a loud exhaust on the Miata. Makes no difference.

Claybarred and waxed it today. She's going on Craigslist as soon as I can get an emissions certificate.

I will miss my popup headlights the most.
