/mg/ Miata General2019 Auto Show EditionPosting NB and NC per this anon >>29090919Also, last thread. ^NB here, NC next post. All OC.
And why not the rest
>>29090933Hooray! Im happy now. Posting my miot, check it out im silver! Anyone else ITT silver?
FORGOT PIC!!!
>nobody caresHate it!
can't wait for pikafag, "rattle can/slam it/temu", and all my other favorite board schizos to shit up the thread. come on in, guys, we're like 6 replies in and no one's even said monster truck or ricer yet
To the anon with the nb1 looking for an intake in the last thread, I have a monsterflow from RacingBeat I might part with. It works with the MAF though so I am not sure if you are flapper door or not.I am super hesitant to post contact details though, maybe 20 years ago when /o/ was more people and less troll. Photo of the intake in question.
>>29077408It happened again!
>>29090952Why is it so far away? Is the fence for your miat's protection, or for ours?
>>29090974That center plate makes the car look retarded, I feel bad for everybody in front-plate-states.
>>29090979Well the boss said no Miats inside the cage so she's just waiting out there, all alone. It's safu though.
>>29090974Cute, small.
>>29090973That shroud wont fit in my NA. I dont need the MAF either.I'll be interested in the charge pipe and couplers only if you are willing to separate.
>>29090952>>29090960why are you hiding?
>>29090952>>29090979It looks like the fence is designed to keep miatas out, based on the angle of the curve.Stay safe, anon!
Miats
>>29091080Why's the NB last? Is NC actually the best car? What does this mean??
>>29090966He's literally gushing with joy you solved a captcha and typed all this shit up fyi nufag
Looks nice Anon. Had to zoom in for a closer look.
>>29090937Complete with yellowed caps, LoL. Picked up a set on eBay for my yellow NA recently, masked over the MAZDA lettering to respray them. You can see the mask if you look closely, but good enough.
>>29091080very fast miat moving at incredible hgih speed
>>29091136Could you zoom in on that and enhance? Trying to determine the status of his lift.
>>29091228Not me, I just cropped it in Paint. Suspension looks fine. Maybe you could get some AI bro to remove the fence and enhance.
Does Mazda do any factory racing these days? I'd like to see an LMH with their current design language.
>>29091228>Could you zoom in on that and enhance?Here you go buddy
How is your radio reception? My NB has pretty shit reception, totally passible but gets interference and static at times. My rav4 of the same year has crystal clear radio. I thought it was a grounding issue but the ground appears to be connected fine behind the dash, are there other grounds I should be looking for?
>>29091472>slopt-thanksall fields
>>29091485Maybe there's a Miata Radio Dad who can help you.t. A/C enthusiast
>>29091524>A/C enthusiastBased and dad pilled
>>29091485>other grounds I should be looking forI believe the antenna has it's own ground through the bracket. I'd try to isolate whether the problem is in the headunit or the antenna. Aftermarket antennas are cheap.
>>29091485miata ac dad here, I took my power antenna out completely because it made horrible grinding noises every time you turned the key and I don't listen to AM/FM radio anyway lol
>>29091617>miata ac dad hereThanks for helping me fix my ac that one time! It's still bussin!
>>29091694Gladly! Gotta stay cool in these summer months.
>>29091263>suspension looks fine>it’s on a beancounter neutered, factory lift-kitThis is why you ricers deserve ridicule
>>29091617AM is where the fun is! Listen to comfy oldies with me on 1150 and 1240 if you're ever in Albuquerque!
>>29091701That's Kenosha WI so it could be an out-of-state vehicle as it's right on the state line. Wisconsin requires front plates so the Miata is legally required to display the front plate. It doesn't make sense to give the road jannies a reason to harass you.
>>29091748Don't interact with the wheelgap schizo. Even quoting a quoted post will get him to flood a thread and mods do nothing about his stuff.
>>29091748>It doesn't make sense to give the road jannies a reason to harass you.exactly, that's why I bothered with the tow hook mount for mine that fag pisses and moans about every time I post it, because I did get harassed about it and don't want to give them excuses to again.
I don't believe in board meta and stupid shit, I interact earnestly with every post that interests me and ignore those that don't.
>brownoid bragging about his illegal activity onlinepottery
>>29091758It's the same as if you tried having a philosophical discussion with a fish or squirrel. Your intent may be noble, but it's not going to teach you anything, nor will it learn anything itself.
Are you tired of this ricer shitting up /comf/ general? Remember to just report this fool and do not engage.
>>29090974I saw this guy again today, when I was in my truck. I gave him a thumbs up and said I also have a Miata, he didnt respond much.
>>29091841>he didnt respond much.Probably stressed him out with your truck, I hate truck drivers are bullies.
Weatherstripping at the top of the door popped out and the clips are all mismatched and fucky (not my pic).Perks of buying a repainted car I guess, could be worse I'm sure it'll go right in when I get home (I hope).
>>29091856Amazon 30$ shipped
>>29091863It's in decent shape, though the clips are mismatched. I think I can just clip it back in, though I need to look up how to do it without snapping anything.
>>29091493One tiem I parked next to a Ferrary (fast).
>>29091919those wheels look too big in the NB
>>29091932Nta. Those are the stock NB MazdaSpeed Miata wheels. I agree they’ve always looked too big but they are OEM.
>>29091932Yea they're big but theyre special. It's on 15" as currently as Toshihiko Hirai intended, I'm cool r-right bros??
>Nobody cares again>they said my wheels are bad Hate it!
>>29091944At least you have good taste in 2D women.
>>29091944>>Nobody cares againIt'd be nice if the car took up more than like 5% of the photo. Looks good from a distance though.
>>29092027If I get closer then you can see the faded paint so I cant, I don't want ppl to say it's bad car because of the paint, it has a good engine and transmission and differential that's what counts :c
Also the ac is BUSSIN! But you can't tell from the pics
Look!
>>29092031You didn't want us to know that it had bad paint, but now we know because you've just told us.
>>29091136>black wheelsriced out
>>29092045But...my ac! >>29092051>bully hoursI'll come back later
>>29092120Do NBs use HFC134a? Bad for the environment but I miss it.
>>29091939Your front wheel has even gap between the fender and tire all the way around, and the back sits just a little bit higher. This is good. But I can't tell if your car is small or just far away.
>>29092120Yeah it would be one thing if they were steelies but black alloy wheels says you might be a melanated gentleman.
>>29092051>>29092130Black wheels from factoryFront lip from factoryWear diffuser from factoryBlacked out headlights from factoryBlacked out roof from factoryBlacked out mirrors from factory. Are you trying to tell me that Mazda made rice?
>>29092132>Are you trying to tell me that Mazda made rice?What? No, of course not. The idea that a manufacturer might rice out a car to appeal to younger buyers and boost sales is preposterous. Mazda would never do such a thing.
>>29092136Are you trying to tell me that Mazda aimed to sell these fun sports cars to people that are still youthful and looking to have fun with their cars. What happened? Now they just sell Miata’s to old men who drive them on weekends if there’s good weather, never hit redline once and wipe them with a diaper cloth after they get home before putting it back in the garage.
>>29092138Dude you're so insecure about this shit too it's hilarious. Fuck all these riced out cars, if you have black wheels and any kind of lip on any car you are a ricer, it's that easy. I'm gonna post an exhaust sizing chart soon and give you guys concrete numbers to determine if any given car is designed to appeal to ricers based on published hp numbers and exhaust diameter cross sectional area. I suggest you get ready for this mentally.
>>29092143you are just ignorant of what rice is, and you think anything that you personally dont like is rice. it's not. you're just making yourself sound stupid.
>>29092146>All these lips and wings are good bro especially when they're BLACKok buddy
>>29092138Never hitting redline is boring but there's nothing wrong with having one as a weekend toy rather than a daily, and nothing wrong with keeping it in good order.
>>29092143It’s really funny that being edgy on 4chan these days amounts to acting like a boomer.
>>29092150>and nothing wrong with keeping it in good order.Nah bro slam it and put a lip on it, fucking body roll isn't good the suspension needs to be HARD and STIFF
>>29092154Yea
>Chrome>Silver>modern interpretation of the original NA Miata design wise (the turn signals literally turned into headlamps, oval grille) >Target buyer: white men Never forget what they took from you /mg/
>>29091390What is an LMH? Mazda offer two models for motorsport. Roadster and Mazda2.
>>29091939>It's on 15" as currently as Toshihiko Hirai intendedPerfect!>>29091937>NB MazdaSpeed Miata wheelsOne of the main problems with the Racing Hart's is how heavy they are. Compound that with low sidewall height gives compromised handling on all but the smoothest pavement.
>>29092179The one I bought had the chrome fuel lid cover and I thought that was a bit much
>>29092207LeMans Hypercar, the successor class of LMP1.
>>29092179boomer mobile. chrome is very 1960s grandpa.
>>29092222>LeMans HypercarThose digits!I don't know or care about those type of cars. they Interest me about as much as F1. As in, I never watch or follow them.>>29092221You did good for 1st mods. Miata's are built to personalize.
>>29092179>rice as fuck front plate
>>29092129LOL that isn’t good at all>>29092138Miata is what?>>29092143If your car has a v6let or fewer cylinders, you’re a ricer>>29092156Just putting it back to how it was DESIGNED before the beancounters went and neutered them for old-man-appeasement
This general has been destroyed by autistic shit posters that have never once glimpsed a human vagina. It was a good run boys but I’m out.
>>29090980>just ricer thingsWee ricelets always think they NEED to MODIFY their cars by adding random bullshit it’s hilarious
>>29092322Calling me a ricer doesn't insult me. I'm a ricer. I love rice. /mg/ accepts all Mx-5 owners. Original-fags, OEM plus-ers and ricers.Now fuck off retard.
>>29092361>nooo you NEED a front license plate for ultimate riceness!!!original, beancounter neutered bullshit is welcome? Kek whyAnd you fags don’t even know what oem+ is lol If you use the oem shit, it’s still beancounter neutered
>>29092361You're not a ricer you just have terrible taste. That body kit is hideous and I'm embarrassed that you spent money on it.
>>29092398A front plate isn't rice + you're a Californian, a state that requires front and rear plates (if given two)>but I don't run plates at all!!!!1!Nigger behavior
>>29092400>terrible tasteI'm okay with listening to your opinion. I didn't build my car to gain favor from you. Just don't feel embarrassed for me. It looks like you're demeaning yourself.
>>29092321they hated this man>>29090966because he spoke the truth
>>29092446front plates are definitely rice as fuck, that’s why ricers always insist that they NEED them>nooo only blacks exercise their Freedom!!!Kek cry pussy bootlicker you don’t even have a car
Reminder, the rest of the board does not reply to this spammer so he has decided to shit up /comf/ general, just report and do not engage >>29092361>replyingDumbass
>>29092321We really don't need your kind itt anyway. Your will is weak, like that of a woman, and not like a warrior. We need some real soldiers itt that do the needful, goodbye forever.
>>29092475>DumbassSticks and stones... Have some fine rice wine to help you calm down.
>>29092488Just saying, you're dumb as hell for falling for the weakest most stale bait on this entire forum. Then you sprinkle in these dogshit car pics and you are literally troll tier yourself.
>>29092504How is being Honest bait?The actual bait is the reverse-ricers saying that lift-kits on “Sports Cars” should be accepted
>>29092504>you're dumb as hell for falling for the weakest most stale bait on this entire forumJust enjoying the banter. I really don't care about the reddit spacing troll. We can all see the bait game is weak
>>29092471Dumb retarded calispic doesn't know what rice ACTUALLY is like the dumb retarded calispic they are
>>29092654Your skills are too weak. Do not engage, simply talk about Miatas. It’s that easy, but you are validating his efforts. In telling you how to do this, I’m validating him, too. I’d prefer if we avoided this conversation entirely.
>>29092720This >>29092654Kys spam tier faggot
>>29092717Kys, fucking freaks are worse than the spammer
>>29092757Dawg what the fuck?
>>29090680can someone get me this number please
>>29092859What the fuck what? How the fuck is every thread I open some dumb fuck replying to the spam poster?
>>29092717I’m not hispanic at all, and the RICERS that insist on having front plates are either too PUSSY to leave it off, or they put it on off-center because they believe that to be a MODIFICATIONIt’s pure rice either way And I mostly see it on lifted miatas, wrxs, civics, 3 Series, and GiuliasMostlyWhy is that?
>>29092913Because that niggerspic is constantly posting their bullshit across multiple threads. Ignoring it doesn't work, jannies don't do shit, and they keep posting like they're the only opinion that matters>>29092920shut the fuck up, this is a Miata thread not your personal "REEEEEEEE WHY DO PEOPLE DO THINGS I DON'T LIKE REEEEEEEE" whinge thread. Go create your own for that faggotry
>>29093019It’s not that my opinion is the only one that matters, it’s that you nocar ricers have incredibly shitty opinions and need to be taught what Good isI’m literally only talking about miatas I’m not asking why people do things I personally don’t likeI’m asking why they MODIFY their cars to literally be worse than how they were DesignedIt has nothing to do with Me
>>29093019Ok now reply to him again
why has this thread gone to shit?
>>29093063Dumb fucks keep replying to spam, they literally cannot help themselves, this faggot thinks he's doing it ironically >>29092361This honestly shows you the avg Miata owner is low as fuck IQ
>>29093064The thread literally started off with just spam of MODIFIED miatas on lift-kits
It's almost time to be a Miata with A/C, anyone else know this feel?
I'm 6'2 looking at either a first gen brz/frs, do I even consider an NC? They're bigger right?
>>29093064This anon >>29093064 and these >>29093019 >>29092446 are separate people
>>29093102Yes but it can depend on your build. I would try and find one to sit in before buying. It’s easier to fit longer legs than a tall torso.
>>29093075Thank you for the closer picture. I like NBs. It's frustrating they cost so much here.
I'm at an impasse I've owned my NA for uh, 14 years (since 2012)But I've become bored with it, that's just the truthI have been considering a turbo kit.But my car has been babied after all this time, like I went to great lengths to keep it nice and stock.My question is, would putting a turbo on a mint stock NA ruin it?
>>29093219I would say it’s my car and I’ll do whatever the hell I want to it and not care what randoms online think.
>>29093219It behooves you to make your Suspension Better before going Forced Induction
>>29093219I personally believe that it would ruin its character, yes. I certainly wouldn't buy one that had been +T'd either, if that is of any concern.
>>29093219This >>29093220. Who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks, if you wanna turbo it, turbo it. Besides, it's not like you're cutting panels up, you can just take it back off and return it to stock if you so please.
>>29093219You should, but you also maybe shouldn't. Let me explainEven just 180 or 200hp in a 2200 is kind of insane if you've never felt it before. So yeah, it's fastBut a few things:>ReliabilityIf you tune it right I would say it will be 60-80% as reliable as stock, but it will never be as reliable as stock. It just won't>FuelI am unsure if you have seen fuel prices lately but you're gonna be running 93. >BalanceThe car was originally intended to have 120ish hp. It upsets the balance of the suspension/tires and even the character of the car. You will need wider tires so it doesn't feel squirelly. You will also need firmer suspension. Nothing that can't be undone but your car will become much more of a project.
>>29093137I'm pretty lanky right now and mostly legs, I'll try to find one nearby. Not really in a hurry, goal is to find something come Spring.
>>29093231*in a 2200 pound car is kind of insane...
>>29092859That looks hot! Love the hardtop on the NC's
>>29092877 What exactly are you trying to measure? Thickness of cooling pack?
>>29093289Doesn't matter anymore. It ain't gonna fit
Any gymkhana bunnies here? Really wanting to try it out but there's nothing local. Where I live is so goddamn boring. just endless old farts complaining about nothing.
sorry, thats autocross for my american frens
>>29092504>dogshit carMiata>>29092720>telling you how to do thisNo>>29092755>KysNo. Give it up. I'm posting within the rules.
>>29093223Wrenchlet take honestly.
>>29092361Bro what the FUCK is this kek
>>29093548Why are you samefagging, spic?
>>29093449>MY FREAKING BODY KIT!!!
>>29093216Thanks for replying to me and I'm happy you like NBs! They're my favorite.
>>29093549That's all he's got. Same as last thread. I think he likes me.
It's gonna be really hot today but I'm not worried.
>bullies chased everyone awayHate it!
>>29093787Having both driven NA/NBs and posting on /o/ for 18 years, I don't have much to say anymore. I can post pics or talk about powerslides but that comes off as bragging which is lame. Picrel, my previous miat over a decade ago.
>>29093794>. I can post pics or talk about powerslides but that comes off as bragging which is lame.Yea I feel youhttps://streamable.com/8jm027
>>29093539I have bigger wrenches than you, tinywrench slowfagletTurboing a miata as her first MODIFICATION will be quite the endeavorAnd it’ll be oh so floppy with that monster truck suspension, especially with added powerAnd those tiny brakes won’t be able to handle it either
>>29093794>Picrel, my previous miat over a decade ago.He cute, he small. I like your wing it reminds me of the 90s
>>29093809Thx. The spoiler was stock (R-pckg lip was not).>Picrel, in Alabama, ain't no one awake at 5am, even downtown.
>>29093794You could talk about how you’re putting it back to how it was DESIGNED, before the beancounters neutered it for old man appeasementHow does one even put up with driving something so compromised, especially after posting on /o/ for 18 years?>>29093804>ebonics>>29093809LOL @ that hand placement
>>29093818The R stood for “Rice”
>>29093821So be it.
Ah the official car of hair dressers, "fancy lads" and stay at home dad's mid life crisis.Zoom, zoom!
>>29093818Nice, looks intense. Is this rapid acceleration pic with AC on or off? This was me yesterday admiring the galvanized steel flake pattern on the back of this truck (AC on).
Omg you can't even see the flakes, here's a better pic.
>>29093449Veil side body kit for a Miata bahahaaha.Oh man they scammed so guys good.Thank you for your $2000 sir your car is now worth $5000 less.
>>29093824It's so pure omg
>>29091919The trick is you change the badges on the cars and then drive off in his "Mazda".
>>29093832Kek they’re such ricers that they want to put a body kit on before fixing the beancounter-neutered suspension
>>29093830That pic is over a decade ago so idk. I normally drive with A/C off, especially since it hadn't warmed up in that pic I doubt it was on. That NA had good A/C but I never used it because of power loss. My current NB hasn't had A/C since I've gotten it, and I don't miss it.140 lbs, I'm not sweating even in Alabama summers and I'm not ashamed to drive with the top down everywhere.
>>29093833Why is it on a lift-kit then?
>>29093834Were actually building an electric Miata and electric gt40 replica car for him. 800v system on the gt40 and 400v on the Miat.
>>29093836
>finally wash my Miata after a long time>rains the next morning Lovely
>>29093833>It's so pure omgAll it took was a Stacey on her phone. Even though I meticulously restored it, I got $900 even with full coverage. Sometimes that's how life goes. Didn't even get a bruise btw.
>>29093846RIP
>>29093846>meticulously restoredWhy didn’t you get rid of the lift-kit and restore it to its originally Designed ride height then?The insurance fags saw that and thought you hadn’t actually restored anything
>>29093846Grim. Hate Stacey, hate insurance Jooz. Thats crazy you repaired that though.
>>29093844cute post, what color are you???
>>29093857>fag hates Beautiful WomenWhoulda thunk it
>>29093853You drive automatics.You know full well I had a 1" lift on my last car (Impreza).Picrel is my current car at face view. I'm only 5'8. I'm not lowing this at all. Maybe sway bars. This is absurdly low.
>>29093863You drive 4cylinderlet bullshits with beancounter neutered suspensionsPutting sway bars on before fixing the hilariously HUGE suspension that handles like a boneless limb would be rice as fuckAnd kek that thing isn’t low; it’s literally on a factory rice lift-kitB O N E L E S S
dumbass MF just had to reply, this just goes to show you the avg Miata driver IQ is low as fuck.
>>29093863kys, nta
>29093872>ebonics
>miata driveway
>>29093887>no oil stains from where you parkedHeh, must be nice having a fancy new ND/NC
>>29093860Emerald green
>>29093905Got it!
>>29093905Why did you put a lift-kit on a “sports car?”texans really Love off-roading, yeah?
>>29093892It's an NB with 135k miles.Doesn't leak and I park it in the garage. It's a long distance of gravel out to the road.Miatas love doing donuts.
>>29093915Never reply to me again
>>29093917miatas suck at doing donuts THOUGH
>>29093920Kek cry pussy ricer tinywrench
>>29093920>falling for the b8kys you're literally worse than spam poster
>>29093931in what way is that falling for bait, I did not acknowledge a single word of his dogshit post
>>29093931It isn’t “b8;” matsuda literally DESIGNED these cars with a LOWER ride height, then raised them on lift-kits after the fact to appease the old guys who bought themI figure they’d want the Most out of their miatas, and put them back to how they were DESIGNED, but they’re just ricers that NEED the hilariously HUGE lift-kits to get In-N-Out Burger easierIt’s like they don’t even LIKE their miatas, let alone LOVE them
>>29093933>replying to an AI intermediaryboy you are dumb as fuck lol, hope both of you spam faggots burn in hell
>>29093933Too much ricer cognitive dissonance huh?
>>29093935>ebonicsThe spammers are the ones posting beancounter neutered bullshits claiming they aren’t ricers
>>29093935Stop even acknowledging his existence, it only eggs him on
>>29093939See >>29093936
>>29093939nah nobody calls me a ricer and gets away with it. I need him to know my entire life story and how I got into miatas and how I plan to slam it with a body kit to appease him and his chatbot.
>>29093945It isn’t for Me lolIt’s for (you)I thought you LOVED miatasWhy would you torture a miata with a monster truck suspension if you LOVE it???
Here you go. This is me, 9 years ago in a near-stock '95 (the black one I posted above). "Miatas can't do donuts."https://youtu.be/XmOQjfvueJc
>>29093953the "mods are actively trying to kill the site" thing was once hyperbole. but for /o/ it's unironically true. my theory is that some r/fuckcars shitheads snuck in through the janny applications a year or two ago. it's a less disturbing thought than retardation of this caliber being allowed to exist is just the cost of doing business.
>>29093966terrible musicThat isn’t a donut lol you didn’t even counter-steerAnd I said Good tires lolKnew you were a ricer kek
>>29093974The ones trying to kill the site are the faggots shilling mainstream, neutered, beancounter bullshits >nooo you don’t UNDERSTAND!!! I NEED the neutered suspension and front plate because I’m a pussy sheep!!!It’s like they have no thoughts of their own and they HATE anything of Quality
>>29093974I doubt there's some conspiracy to kill the site. More like nobody cares to clean up endless AI generated spam posts. Can't even blame them, imagine going to every single thread and deleting this crap for free.
>>29093974More like Miata drivers are dumb as fuck lol. This faggots doesn't step foot in any other general, you don't see him in SQT, ccg, dbt or diy threads, nobody there replies. It's only here where the avg IQ is very low that he's able to harvest endless morale sustaining (You)s.
>>29093988How come a tiny cute girl is able to drive a miata LOWERED to its originally DESIGNED ride height, but the ricers on here cry that she/her car is ai or some such nonsense?Not every pretty girl is ai; get over it
>>29093997My E39 has been posted to ccg and gotten replies lolI don’t post in dbt because I don’t ride, and they’re all literally homosexual as fuck. What’s with that? I did post there once asking if I should get an Aprilia Tuono V4 and they said I’d kill myself and to get a 250 or some shitI posted my solution to my valve cover gasket not staying in place in the valve cover to one of the weekend wrenching threads (use thread to tie the gasket to the valve cover). That got repliesI mostly don’t even see (you)s technically because I close my browser and that clears cookies MostlyI post the same way in BMW threads (of which there are very few, because we all agree that getting Good Coilovers is part and parcel to the BMW ownership experience)miata drivers are just such ricers that they don’t even understand I’m trying to HELP them I’m one of the few that are actually trying to make this site BetterIt Truly feels like a lost cause THOUGH
>>29093851*needs to be slammed
I'm in awe of this Hispanic gent
>>29093988there have been active efforts to "kill" 4chan from various bad actors including the united states and israeli governments constantly pissing in the ocean of piss for over a decade now. it was the stated goal of jeffrey epstein and mossad to make discussion boards such as 4chan "useless" by filling them with irrelevant shitposts and infighting. even my subsection of this board has had to deal with cia interns with unbannable us military ips coming into our mumble chats and asking what we think of the latest mass shooting. it DOES happen. it is NOT a joke. but we're also not going anywhere.the us government has genuinely wasted billions of dollars trying to outshitpost 4chan and have failed repeatedly. the israeli and russian governments too have failed. the unintelligent way this site works makes counterintelligence totally meaningless. but they still try.
>>29094036Literally every single thread on the board is his ricer blog.
>>29093556ngl it does change its face quite a lot almost didn’t recognise it if you fed Ai a bunch of pics of the NA bumper and pics of it without a bumper etc so it could learn what the bumper was i wonder what you could get it to spit out as alternatives, then i wonder if it spit out something really cool, if you could then get a 3d model and have it 3d printed with ease p cool idea
>>29094037Meanwhile, in reality the UK has a hard-on to kill 4chan and the US federal government is protecting us for the moment.
>>29094036I wouldn't mind him as much if he posted his legs like the femboys instead of spamming instathots
>>29093934>Posts femaleAh the most elusive sex for you, figured you would be posting twinks.
>>29094050we're protected from that by british flaccidity. the us federal government doesn't really have to do anything except exist and crown and parliament are powerless.
>>29093997more like you're a fucking retard, he drags his shitty ass all over the board like a dog with worms
>>29093829I really miss the days when hairdressers could conceivably drive a rwd sports car. Feels so long ago but it wasn't.
>>29094184>"Ohmaegawd it spun out on me! The car did that!">"Dear Jeebus, my head is below the fender of the car next to me! This is dangerous!"I'm not seeing it either.
Went on a 3 hour drive today, had a blast but it was bittersweet. The sun setting sooner and the cooler air is a grim reminder that the weather is turning fast. I'll be putting her away for the season soon(ish). I've only owned her a few weeks now but damn has it been fun.
>>29094400Nice, make sure to slam it and put a body kit on it otherwise you're a ricer. Pls reply.
Kek why do ricers think that putting a car back to how it was DESIGNED is sLaMmInG it?
>>29094400Perfect golden hour pic. Side reflection looks gorgeous. Well done Anon. It's something that is more obvious in pics than IRL, but consider freshening up the paint on those wheel center caps over winter. See >>29091147
>>29094440that color combo looks so good. I thought about having my stock BBS wheels powder coated bronze metallic. i think it would look great on the soul red.
My fuel pumping is whining so I've got a replacement Bosch, however it only came with 90 degree pump strainer, the old one is not in good condition. Is this not an issue or is the pump going to have a hard time picking up at 1/4th a tank or something? A 45 degree strainer costs $50 fuckin bucks in aus.
>>29094526>powdercoatI would choose to go to a wheel repair shop and have them resprayed in 2K. A lot easier to repair if you ever curb them.
>>29094039Japan produced a lot of odd kits for the NA, back when they were current. Body-kit business is slowly dying these days. You're better off looking around for something already existing.
>>29094578For anyone who is interested in aero parts for their Mx-5, YJA is a great place to browse. This is an NA search, just change the search bar to NB,NC or ND to suit your own circumstances.https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/opensearch?select=02&ei=UTF-8&p=NA&oq=&auccat=2084197369&f=0x2&tab_ex=commerce&slider=0
I drove my NB with the AC off for the first time in a while today, it was cool and overcast enough this morning to put the top down again. What a fun little car.
First mod complete. Mx5things roof controller is installed. Now the roof goes down automatically when the latch is released and it goes all the way up with one push of the button instead of having to hold it.
>>29094955Well tuned, brother.
Love my ND2
>>29094955300hp turbo kit next?
>>29095100No, next is installing my FM sway bars.
>>29094955Need to lower it
info on that internal brace?
>>29095169Lol
>>29095216oh never mind that's a shadow. I thought it was some ppe insert.
>engine keeps dragging when coming on, and clock keeps resetting every day>little fucker somehow manages to burn out my headlights without even popping the fuse, they were only a few months old too>get a new battery>same problems, but now also my left blinker is hyperflashing and my right is slightly sluggish>oh it's probably the alternator I guess>last month the battery was so dead that car could not start>jump the car to start it>disconnect the battery to see if the engine dies without the battery connected>engine does not die, however something in the steering column exploded and started smoking.a boomer that my dad works with says if the car is drawing too much power for the alternator to handle, it'll cause shit to start popping and sparking. He works on old Thunderbirds so I am inclined to trust him, but my problem with what he said is... the only electrical thing that isn't stock in my car is the head unit, and it's not a crazy head unit with a big touch screen and whatnot. so what the fuck.
>>29095310I've already started drinking so I'll be short but you may have a ground fault.I see the aftermarket head unit. If it originally had the nice (MSSS) head unit the person who installed that may have had to do a bunch of wiring. My '95 had an amplifier right next to the steering column I had to bypass with a bunch of wiring work.You may very well have a failing alternator, that does happen on every car and I have never seen popping or sparking involved in that. >something in the steering column exploded and started smoking.What the shit?
Meet and cruise event today. Girl asked me if she ride along. Instinctive "Ah! no I a, have to leave half way.. sorry" I was intending to do the whole run but left early to keep up the lie. She was cute too the fuck is wrong with me?!
>>29095464A pre-loaded "You too!" moment.
>>29095467yes I have literally said that to a girl while at a light and she was a pedestrian at the crosswalk
>>29095464It's probably nothing, your subconscious could have red flagged her. Type of girl that asks strangers for rides likely isn't wife material.
>>29095507What do you mean? She's just a farm girl from Nebraska who never did drugs nor had sex (she never even kissed her prom date) and now she's fallen head over heels for anon. She noticed him at the grocery store a few days ago and realized he had a Miata so she went to the Miata meet just in case, and when he showed up she tried her best! But now she's at home crying to her cat about being rejected. I think the next step is for anon to literally bump into her at the vet or something and after they clean up and catch their respective pets they could talk it out and share a foot-popping kiss.
>>29095507>>29095716If I chased women I wouldn't have had money for a new ND2
fuck bitchesget miatas
>>29095771I agree, do both.
I've done goofed.I walked into a mazda dealership to test the mx-5 rf rs, test drove it, then the sales person played me like a flute, walked out with a purchase contract of a brand new mx-5 rf vs in soul red.What do?
>>29095310>something in the steering column exploded and started smokingI'd be looking there first. Do the hazards work consistently? >>29095321 stereo sounds like something to check out. Problems often start at homemade wiring. Also check earths. Do you have a multi-meter?
>>29096033What's wrong?
>>29096033>brand new mx-5 rf vs in soul red.>What do?Slam it and put a lip on it.
>>29095310
>>29096049What if mister matsuda actually intended for miatas to be slammed and have lips from the start?
>>29096057That's what I'm saying, if the shit isn't slammed and lipped it's not a good car.
>>29096049What does this mean?
>>29096082It means matsuda raised the suspension from what it was originally DESIGNED, to some beancounter neutered bullshit by adding a lift-kit for some reasonI guess they just wanted to make it slower
>>29096082I mean it needs to be slammed on the ground to handle good Mazda riced it out by not slamming it and it didn't come with enough aero. You do want good handling right?
>never have nc/nb threads>finally get NC thread>It's 90% 1 guy and its long as hecc because he keeps putting a lot of new linesHate it! This is some cursed monkey paw stuff
>>29096228Why do I get the feeling that you’re R6anon from /dbt/?
>>29096237Not me, nice NC btw!
>>29096228here's my nc for you anon.
>>29096247Wow, looks fast. I bet the AC works good because it's white and it reflects heat!
>>29096247Source on the spoiler?
>>29096247Also. Why debadge the club?
>>29096237>>29096247Why are they both riced /o/ut with lift-kits?>>29096144>nooo everything that isn’t a monster truck is a le heckin sTaNcEd!!!Kek why do ricers always think this?
>>29096372For the same reason they leave the beancounter lift kit on: Just ricer things
>>29096405>>29096401wtf is this post spacing? gtfo autist
>>29096408Never respond to to the troll anon.
>>29096408?What the FUCK is that wheel spacing???Cry more ricer pussy>>29096412The trolls are the ones posting “sports cars” with ricer lift-kits
>>29096408>wtf is this post spacing?That's called Reddit spacing. That's how it's done over there.
>>29096481>>29096481>>29096481>>29096481Here's the same thread with less spam.
>>29096485You're crazy
>>29096518Fuck it, it's all spam and ai now
>>29096485This thread has already been corrupted to a level of 75% ai spam so we have a backup thread up>>29096509>>29096509>>29096509>>29096509
Miatas are cool and I like them
>>29096255all except the black top. but the ac does work.>>29096371ali crap. it looks fine from 5 feet though. it could be perfect with some bondo and paint. my miata is a bit beat so it went on as it. luckily it already matched to roof color. phrts look bulby with the top up. i find the spoiler really helps even that out.>>29096372they don't come with the club badge in leafland. the side decal was removed by the previous owner, which i'm good with. >>29096401suspension travel is a good thing. going lower isn't the problem.
Does this thread always suck this much dick? I mean we're on the 3rd straight day of complete fucking garbage being posted here nonstop.
>>29096625>it looks fine from 5 feet though. it could be perfect with some bondo and paint.Is it carbon fiber? I agree the car needs the spoiler to fox the body lines on the PRHT.
>>29096637Try the perfectly clean spam free thread >>29096509
>>29096642it's fiberglass. the cf comes unpainted while the fiberglass is already painted black. it would look weird as the only piece of cf on the car. if you take some effort, you can make the fiberglass piece look nice and a decent rattle can job + polishing would make it look like oem.
>>29096485>>29096580I hope you both get a ban but if /o/ was moderated it wouldn't be so dead
>>29096651I’m going to take my chances on one of the carbon fiber ones. Hopefully it comes clear coated like it’s pictured. If not, oh well, I’m friends with the owner of a shop who will do it for me for cost of materials.
>>29096585>Miatas are cool and I like themYeah, me too. They always look so beautiful
>>29096717>99-00 no fogs NBOmg it's so pure.
>>29096665
>>29096732Everybody wants to talk about NC. I say, what about AC? Are your vents bussing and your hair frosty? How big is your condenser?
>>29096665>real carbon fiber trunk spoiler wing
>>29096736It's from a tuning company so you know it's legitimate.
>>29096738Oh yea we never got rare 98 editions here in burgerland
Hey where did you go?! Come back!
>>29096729>99-00 no fogs NBPic says 98 because Australia does year of manufacture, from the date on the build plate, rather than model years, like America does.>>29096740Sorry about that, I got caught trying to edit my spelling mistake.
>>29096736>>29096739Believe it or not. Wet carbon fiber shit isn't hard to make. Any chink can do it and it costs practically nothing these days.
>>29096738Not an Aussie but kinda familiar. Don't dealers use model year but registration adheres to calendar year?
I haven't had a miata in forever. Had an NA6. What's the best one to buy these days? I don't wanna spend more than 7 or 8k.
>>29096745>Don't dealers use model year. They do now, but that's a fairly recent development. Traditionally most people on the street just talked about model codes like Ford AU, Holden VL and Mazda NA.
>>29096749*Too much confusion. Not going to edit my crappy typing this time. I'm an idiot.
Should I get the back camera option on my new ND or nah?It's optional in my country, so if I want it I can pay $500 for the option.
>>29096772I mean, it wouldn't hurt to? I doubt it adds any weight.
>>29096804Well it does add to the cost a bit.I never had a car with back camera before.My main concern is, where do they put the camera? Would it stick out like a sore thumb or would it be pretty hidden?
>>29096805It's in the center of the rear bumper, just above the license plate. Your market probably has the dimple ready to fit the camera. Pic also has parking sensors each side.
>>29096813Yeah that looks ugly as sin.I'll try to pay attention to see if I can spot some cars without the camera in the streets to see how it looks
>>29096821It's worth it just because visibility is shit with the top up. Having the backup camera in those instances is useful. I'm adding one to my NC for that very reason
>>29096830It's like a Garage Vary tail on an ND
>>29096772While we are on the subject of options,Should I get the undercoating options?I've seen in one review that the under of the car can get rusty
>>29096813ah the good ol ND2 butthole cam
>>29096878I don't like that bituminous undercoating. I'd rather have it lanolin coated for rust prevention.
When shifting at high revs should I just be dropping the clutch and waiting til it's fully dropped to accelerate or start accelerating slightly earlier than that
>>29096939Just repaint it, my god.
I'm in the middle of mocking up a new air intake. I am going away with the MAF for my PNP ECU.What should I do with the crank case vent?Catch can, or vent to atmosphere?
>>29091096well it seems to have rained so it makes sense that the boat would lead
>cursed with hyperhidrosis and a pollen allergy>live in the south east united states>only a few months a year where i can consistently drive with the top downi was traveling to another hot country and was introduced to a fan similar to pic related from a tour guide that noticed me sweating my balls off. it actually helped keep me from sweating. has anybody tried one while driving with the top down? if i can enjoy my car in the summer without sweating like a pig i'll be very happy.
>>29097338Catch can, obviously. That's just going to leak oil all over your exhaust manifold.
>>29097436>hyperhidrosisis this a code word for being morbidly obese?
>>29097436Shit dawg, I'm in south alabam with allergies as well but I drive topless everywhere unless it's raining or below 45F. I thankfully don't sweat (don't even wear deodorant). I don't really think a fan would help but maybe? You could get one mounted on the dash. How about one of these spiffy "air conditioned" fan jackets? Maybe ask your doctor for atarax, it's the OG allergy med (Zyrtec is a weaker metabolite of Atarax and Xyzal, which is expensive, is just the active left-handed isomer of Zyrtec so Xyzal is Zyrtec). Atarax is free or $2 with basic insurance, I get 90 of em a month for a buck. Sorry, I'm a drug nerd I'll stop sperging.
>>29097455i'm 170 pounds at 6 feet. my BMI is 23.1. >>29097464>fan jacketsi don't know. i like the other fan since i can hold it or clip it wherever i want. i mostly sweat through my face. >ataraxi recently asked about taking allergy shots and was referred to a specialist. if that doesn't work out then i'll ask about atarax.
Rode around today with the AC on 2. Like I didn't even have to hit 4. This normal for people it's not even a big deal.
I've been so hot for years but it's all a thing of the past I'll never be too hot again but I'm so mad about it now, I've suffered so much
>>29097499>>29097500Harden up.Shit puts too much load on the engine and redlines are spur-of-the-moment acts. I will sweat, boil, and toil before I add unnecessary load to my engine.On the highway in [NA/NB] miats, when the compressor decides to kick in, you have to actively give it more throttle to stay at speed. They don't have variable-displacement A/C compressors so it's all on and kicks our little ~100 lb-ft engines in the balls. Fuck that, just keep it off.
Question:We've hit the bump limit, are we making a new thread or moving to one of the troll threads?
>>29097504My JDM VVT motor doesn't break a sweat with the AC on. I don't notice much power difference between having it on and off and I'm hypersensitive to that kind of thing due to my job as a diagnostics tech.
>>29097436Do not choose pants do not press pants!
>>29097504>redlines are spur-of-the-moment actsThe ecu literally disengages the compressor if you cross like 4500. It has all been taken care of. Ive been hard for years I'm soft now, being hard isn't the way. >>29097520Just make a new thread more miadas in the catalogue is better
>>29097436>driving with the top down?You pull the roof off when the sun is setting or before it rises you can't just drive with the roof off whenever you want I'tll be too hot.
>>29097452I found this diagram. the catch can goes between the intake manifold and left side of the valve cover.I am trying to figure out if I can eliminate the line going to the air filter with a simple filter on the side as illustrated here: >>29097338
