Just put some koni yellow sports in, hardtop paint can wait till next month.

Scraped my stock bumper a few times last week so I don't think I'll ever get to put on my GV lip :c

Been 2-3 months now, I really recommend wrapping your downpipe with something as it's cut way the fuck down on cabin heat.

>>17585918
You'll be fine you're nowhere near close enough to fuck one of those things up. You have to go full stancefag to ruin a GV lip

>>17585931
Yeah but I've already scraped the front bumper a few times just on bloody speedbumps around here.

I suppose there's really only one way to find out.

Enough with the low key tommy shilling. We get it. You know some penis shaped loser in connecticut.

What are some cheap mods I can buy for a 90' 1.6l to make it a better ride?

>>17588111
If you want to make the Mx-5 better follow this way:
>suspension (koni yellow for example)
>brake upgrade
>exhaust and racing cat
>engine tunes (ITB)

Fitted my an EBC to my turbo NA today. Also shortened the actuator rod by 3 full turns of the end bit.
Running 11 psi now, but need to get it on a dyno to see how far I can push it.

get a s2000 antenna it'll change your life
>>17591748
how do you like the Fox coilovers, and are they easy to adjust? I'm eyeing them or Ohlins as a someday upgrade. Was thinking of getting FM springs, but considering that I'm going to find myself on dirt on a somewhat frequent basis, I dunno if I want to lower my car without being able to easily adjust ride height back to stock.

>>17591808
I'm ok with the antenna. First real upgrade will likely be the stage 1 ECU flash to 200whp/220 wtq. Or maybe the roadstersport exhaust

Fox coilvers are amazing. I drove a few of FM's cars with them and bought them straight away. Had their lowering springs first.

Spotto the V8 :)

Only ECU will NEVER get you 200hp. Check the tune from the BBR 200 Miata and what they did to get 200hp.

>>17592514
He has the Fiata, which easily hits 200hp with a tune.

How much do you guys think this is worth?

>>17591709
Which model?
Do you have the belly pan, do you have a fan shroud, do the fans work, do you have a thermostat (thermometer kek).

Maybe you need a block flush or something, what are your ambients, what power are you putting down etc.

Bit suspicious if you ask me. That list of new parts summs up to 1500$ and he sells the car for 3500$? Why putting so much money in and selling it 1000miles later

Hi guys, retard here

is it worth paying the extra few hundred dollars for the 1.6 NA that comes with LSD stock? Can i do mad skidz in the wet? Is it worth the extra weight?

thank u in advance

>>17592842
Yeah, the stock viscous is a piece of shit that becomes open wheel after 50kkm anyway. Weight difference negligible.

Impossibly low km for an NZ example, make FUCKING SURE there is no pulley wobble, search SNC miata for info.

>>17592880
it's a misprint, he clarifies it's 215kkm in the listing but it has a bunch of shit like wof and rego only relevant to NZ so didn't think it was worth posting

the torsen diff that comes from the 1.8 would be preferable to LSD tho right? or am i mistaken, i could definitely be mistaken

>>17592750
Trunklid swap or bondo + paint. The fucking thing is bolted in so if you rip it off you wind up with a shitty little hole. Same thing goes for the badges. I hope that someone makes a Miata badge to replace the dumb Skyactiv one.
>>17592710
He might be a fuckwit like I was with my last car, which I sold a couple months after putting in over $1K of suspension bits. Many such cases!

>>17592898
I think the torsen is the more sought option in the 1.8, yes, but really unless you're taking it to the track or autox it's all much of a muchsome.
Stickier tyres help a bunch.

If you're apprehensive, get yourself stuck into https://forum.miata.net/vb/

Look for common swaps, common issues (coolant reroute, heat, noise, rust, soft top care and preventatives etc). Not much 1.8 stuff in NZ, really and most upgrades cost double.

Whereabouts do you live?
