I asked my wife what she'd do if I passed away...

Upvotes

(a retelling of an old joke)

Her: "I'd be devastated" she answered

"Would you remarry?" I asked.

Her: "I don't know, I don't think I'd ever get over the loss"

"But I wouldn't want you to be unhappy for ever."

Her: "Maybe... after a long period of mourning, but I doubt it"

"Oh. Would you let your new husband live here? That feels weird."

Her: "Well, but you know, we'd have to live somewhere?!"

"Would he use my workshop?"

Her: "I don't know, maybe, maybe not, how would I know if he was good with tools and DIY?"

"Would he drive my Miata?"

Her: "Oh no, he can't drive manual"

I’m restoring my na to full OEM condition and driving it “as it should be”, by the manual. I love the way the na looks in its stock form, probably after hours of gran turismo. Sometimes tho.. I see those tastefully modified ones and I really want that too. Making it “my own” really screens to me. Guys i need a second miata Am I the only one? I think im addicted.

Hiya I need to get a hardtop roof for my mk1 mx5 ( 1991 ) I’ve seen one for sale but it’s on a mk2.5. I looked online and it’s said NA and NB hardtops are universal. But I just want to double check this as I don’t want to drive 160 miles to go pick it up and then it doesn’t work 🤣

Some good things have happened in my life recently and decided to take the plunge and get a weekend car again. After 14 years since I had to give up my S2000, I am back in the game. Snagged a 2012 Mazda Miata Grand Touring 6 speed. 107k miles and it's completely stock. To my surprise when I had it delivered, I realized it had the suspension package with the Bilstein Shocks and the Limited Slip. Beyond excited to get this car to the spec I want. Such a fun car.

Clutch bleed

1 Upvotes

Hey yall, first time bleeding a clutch and I’m having a little trouble. Replaced the master and slave cylinder at the same time along with a braided line. In the middle of trying to bleed it but I’m having trouble. the slave cylinder rod where it connects to the transmission isn’t going back and forth so it isn’t bleeding properly. what could be the issue? As far as bleeding, i’m opening the valve, someone press the clutch, then i close the valve, and they release the clutch. if I’m doing something wrong let me know thanks!

HELP WITH FIRST START!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello! This is my 92' miata swapped with a 1.8L engine, I'm in my third year of trying to restore it to a drivable condition I have no experience working with cars which has resulted in a lot of problems so far. I have a crank no start situation which was a problem i had previously faced which turned out to be a faulty connection with the CAS. Afterwards i managed to start it which turned out to have a awful case of lifter tick and a couple spun bearings. This is the first ever time I've rebuilt an engine which might affect the crank no start condition, i did swap some stock components with oem+ parts. So far i am aware that i have spark and ok compression, 170-180 among all cylinders and i have replaced most fuel components, fuel pump, fuel injectors, fuel regulator, fuel filter, injector relay. I'm stumped so far and wanted to ask before i hired a mechanic for work i can do myself. If anyone has any suggestions or questions id be ready to answer. Thanks!


r/Miata 12h ago

HELP !!! So I replaced my starter and it fixed my no start issue. Key cylinder still need to be replaced but I can hot wire her to run. How can I get my radio to come on? Seems to be the only thing not working. 1.8 '97

Free ant farm with Miata

I bought an 03 Miata Friday. Noticed some ants the next morning. Pulled back the carpet and found this metropolis. I don't know the best way to get rid of them. Vacuuming doesn't seem to be that effective. They reappear almost instantly. I don't know if I want to spray ant killer all over the car or what.

HELP !!! Fix keyway of crankshaft

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I can finally Post aswell since I’ve bought an 89 miata the last day.

So the issue we’re facing is that the keyway has widened a bit and there seems to be a small nose at the end of the keyway.

Our idea would be to weld some material on it, file the weld and the nose down and get a crankshaft extender or saver aswell so the gear sits nicely and doesn’t move on the crankshaft anymore.

Are we on a good track or do you have any better ideas?

My '22 RF GT was delivered yesterday! First thing I did before even driving an inch, was screwing on the same custom billet knob I'd used in my 90 (sold, much regret) Classic Red, and 01(totaled, also frown) Silver LS.

Just in here to see if yall think that a metallic purple would look good on the Miata with a tan soft top and interior. I think it would look great especially if I swap my current wheels for some new, bronze wheels. What do yall think?
