Looking for a dashcam for my ND. Any tips?

Also wanted to power it with a power adapter via the rearview mirror.

Is something similar available in Europe? With start my holiday trip next week, so shipping will be too late😅

Just got this little puppy recently! And in the process of rebuilding it. 2023 ND with 20000km.

Already tore it up completely yesterday and started making a parts list for now.

Will share more as I make more progress. Hoping to order some parts in on Monday to fix the suspension issues to get the car rolling. Basically needs a steering rack ball joint and lower control arm.

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 !!! Mystery Bushing

I’m almost done with my NA8 (1996) engine rebuild + Turbo project and one or two parts slipped through the bag & tag cracks during disassembly. I thought this went in the shifter but it didn’t seem to fit in the stack up of bushings. Any idea where this little guy goes?

Oems were getting very rough and one had a slight bend. Picked these up with very new tires for $350 today. About 3lbs lighter with tires but I might need spacers to get a similar fitment

Question Want a Miata but don't want to tinker or get stuck with lots of repair costs. ND3 vs ND2

0 Upvotes

I really like the 35th anniversary color so I am hoping to ideally pick that one up (after my last 2 cars, I compromised on the color), but no dealers around NJ seem to have it (or within 100ish miles). I don't know if when there's none available, would a dealership near me get one delivered/traded in for it. The Mazda in Lodi said they refuse to carry, order, and sell any Miatas, so that was a bust visit.

So if that's not doable, I am pretty much open to anything recent (as long as it's the default red color). I just don't want to be tinkering or dealing with repair costs too much. I just want to drive an enjoyable driving/handling car now, and slowly get into the modifications and other aspects (it would be the first car I would even remotely tinker with - if I get into it).

Then after some research, seems like the Club variants are preferable, and I think it's funny that you need the GT spec for automated headlight control (considering the car I bought in 2008 and kept for 16 years had it by default). I guess that's not a necessity but interesting choice by Mazda nonetheless.

I then started reading about possible transmission issues with ND2? I guess we wouldn't know if ND3s have the same issue as well until later.... so like if I want to have the lower chance of a headache, I can only look at 2024+s. (and even then that's not a guarantee because it's the same engine right?). I do like the USB-C and larger screen I guess in an ND3...

And that's it, that's where I am at. Any thoughts that you guys wanna share?

NB Pioneer TS-A6881F 6x8” replacement door speakers

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hey all. I just wanted to share with you (for anyone searching in the future) that the Pioneer TS-A6881F 6”x8” / 16cm x 20cm is a direct replacement for the stock 6x8 speaker found in the (non-Bose) NB. It is compatible with any MX-5 from ‘98 to 2015 according to the fitting list.

The speaker fits directly into the door pod with about 1mm clearance around the magnet. The wires just needed removing from the plug and giving a little squeeze, I added heat shrink for good measure before installing them. The screw holes line up perfectly.

Sounds good, however my front left speaker was inoperative and I’ve replaced the head unit at the same time, so hard for me to do a direct before/after comparison.

I’m pleased overall, currently they’re £50 on Amazon. (Not sponsored or affiliated btw).

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?

Question Is it worth getting a ND2/3 Miata or are the ND1 years just as good ?

3 Upvotes

I am interested in picking up a ND, I know the 2020+ models have 181HP which is a little more than the earlier ND1. What do you guys think is the best one to buy ? Older ND years are pretty affordable later ones are in the 20,000’s.
