miss my miata NA too
#cars
civic girder
imo, Miata has nothing on RX-7
chilly shell
yeah, but as a track day car, I could buy those little tires for nothing, hardly used them up all season, very well balanced, and I still kicked people's lap times with double the power as me
also, I'm tall, so top down, helmet on, unlimited visibility, it had a lot of nice parts
civic girder
yea, Mazda makes great little sports cars
Even though I am biased towards the rotary, I still acknowledge the Miata. I've driven NBs and NCs, and they are definitely good. I have yet to drive an NA, but I'm sure my buddy will let me drive his new NA once he's finished modding it

I had the 1.6 short nose though, and that engine surprisingly lasted 200,000 miles

the body lives on though, sold it to some guys who dropped a V6 in it
civic girder
I'm kinda afraid that if I tried to track my 7, the apex seals would have flown out the exhaust by the second corner
chilly shell
well that's the thing with the miata
90/91 aside with the 1.6 short nose.... basically all other miatas, either 1.6 long nose or 1.8...
you can whack them around forever and not worry about anything
change the oil, keep going
civic girder
That's why my buddy got into Miatas
he likes his Z06 'Vette, but its too big/powerful/expensive to hop in and say "SEND IT"
chilly shell
this summer I might buy another, though this one with an interior
the other nice thing with the miata is the sheer quantity of bolt-ons for track use
civic girder
yea
chilly shell
a roll bar for a vette is probably $800+ but you can get one for the miata like 300 that just bolts in
civic girder
My buddy got an NB shortly after I got my RX-7, and then he got an NA a few weeks ago. idk if he's keeping the NB or not, but he's already swapped coilovers on the NA
He also replaced the clutch on the NA. I think the NB had the clutch done right before he bought it

Every reviewer in Europe dislikes it since it feels really old, and nobody buys one

It's old, but "everything provides positive feedback" and "it feels old, but it's well screwed together"

And the engine/transmission is so old they've fixed all the issues. lol

Aaargh CVT
dense shard
"It doesn't pretend to be a fake automatic, it's just a rubberband"
Honestly. I like the classic CVT stuff.
It's designed to be fuel efficient, and stay in the most efficient bit of the power band. It doesn't pretend.
stoic ledge
Not for how I drive xD That's continues 6000rpm xD

Fair enough, but for the average driver... myself for example.
I quite like CVTs for around town driving.

CVTs are quite good technology, but really depends on your driving
It's a Dutch invention so it must be good

The big meh part about CVT is that they still try to mimic a normal transmission.

I might do the spring mod, actually
where you get a softer spring for the vacuum diaphragm that controls the secondaries
so the softer spring reduces resistance and it activates earlier in the rev range

Three combustions per rotation.
That means the injectors are expected to deliver fuel more frequently than not.

R34s are not 25 years old yet, and are illegal to import as such. I wouldn't be surprised if a few slip past due to some forgery by sketchy import dealers, but if you get caught then its game over
Now, R32s and R33s are eligible for import
and iirc you can get R34 bodykits for R32 and R33
so unless the owner went through a sketch importer, its likely a facelifted R32 or R33
Best way to find out would be to write down the VIN and search it, but sometimes you can get some model/year info off the license plate number as well

drifting mantle
When it snows, I turn on the car, full blast the heat and rear defroster while I scrape the snow from the side windows, lights, and roof of the car.
Then I just pull off the covers, and wipe off any snow that fell onto the hood, so it doesn't flow into my view while driving.
The ones for the back are kinda ehh in fitment.
For my car, the back window is only covered like 97%
It's enough that I can see from my driving position, but annoying that there isn't any bigger sizes.

drifting mantle
That's the one I got
It's just the perfect length to cover the top of my windshield, and my washer fluid nozzles.
That way I don't have to scrape those clean, and can use it as soon as I need it.
Unlike my dad, who loves to leave his covered, so when he needs it, all that happens is that the wipers spread the road grime that was misted onto the windshield.
drifting mantle
I used mine a couple of times. I really like the fabric / build quality of the kind I linked.
For my rear window, I bought this cheap super thin cover. It works, but is already tearing apart at the seams.
I'll probably give it to my dad, though I doubt he'll use it, and buy one like what I have for the front.
stoic ledge
I don't see how you fit one to the rear, or you should use suction cups on the inside of the window

I need a better set of cables for jumping. Current set doesn't like the amps.

I can understand why people drive automatics. They are nice for getting you from A to B.
But also, yes. Manuals gives you more of a connection to the car.

I prefer automagical transmissions cause my IQ is far too low to drive manual
civic girder
Driving manual is not hard, at all
it just takes practice
my only thing against autos is that almost every single one I've ever driven or ridden in has not been a very pleasant experience
I prefer a smooth ride, where its only bumpy because I fucked something up. I've not yet seen an auto that can shift smoothly enough to satisfy me
That is part of why I like the way the Prius rides
CVT is smooth because theres no gear changes
civic spoke
My main issue with automatics is that they don't shift when I want them to shift, etc.
And I use engine braking a whole bunch.

Why would you in a car xD
Truck makes sense, with 29582881 gears
(usually 12/14 I know)
civic spoke
12 gears in the one I drive.
It can do 60 kmh in 12th. At around 1,000 rpm. I think it was.

Hey guys do you know the best rims for a Hyundai Genesis 2011 premium 2.0 turbo for my mothers car lol
The ones are been painted black due to the last owner that scratched up the wheels

Something like this

Looks good :3

Too large rims in my book. Needs more MEAT

The ones are like $200 each oof

My 16in tires cost more than the 255/50r20 for our Explorer

Wheels : Ace Convex - Titanium

Kind of silly how you can just go out a buy some cars, throw a tune at it, and it will run 10's in the 1/4 mile.
stoic ledge
I can beat that
indigo coral
no you can't
stoic ledge
indigo coral
I'm tempted to get 18s for my car

My mother likes the black car with black rims lol
stoic ledge
Oof those Ace Convex are almost 400USD each oof

They look much nicer

Dat moment when my rims are the same size as falcon's, even though my car is 8590204 times as small
fathom socket
Yeah I want this a little more thinner
fathom socket
Yeah I can check it out

Quadcopters: I need new wheels
Falcon: buy a G70

(I was joking xD)

It's a Shame that the previous owner broke the front bumper and I saved $450 to get a new one
Grrr
stoic ledge
OOF

Well you could've used the broken bumper to get the price down
indigo coral
But paint = hard to get

Just repaint the entire car pink
indigo coral
no

I like having new parts on a low mileage car
It only has 52000 miles on it
I have a Hyundai Tucson 2005 on 502.344 miles on it because I took care of it
stoic ledge
My previous owner scrapped a low wall on his driveway once, but I don't ever notice it xD It's a small scuff underneath the passenger side fog lamp, barely visible in the picture
Drive the Genesis to 500k miles
fathom socket
It's a stronger engine so it's possible :3
My mom kept going 120mph on the highway and I thought we are going 70mph
It's a smooth car on the road
Ooh what car is that I'm seeing

Your mom sounds like my mom lmao

My mom was playing with a Macan in our explorer on the highway

Oof literally 3 Genesis Coupes for sale in 🇳🇱
Of which 2 ahem tastefully modified
And one extremely low mileage so it costs a fortune

Add 83hp/110Nm and you added my entire engine
indigo coral
Would be at ~425hp after tune
stoic ledge
I can beat that
indigo coral
pol
Lol
I mean a more aggressive sounding one
Even a tiny engine cna sound decent with a good exhaust
stoic ledge
Of the 235k cars for sale in the Netherlands, 3k of them claim to have 425hp or more
Yeah but my exhaust would cost more than the car then xD
indigo coral
Lol
stoic ledge
Even if it gains 10%, it's just 8hp xD
civic girder
I won the auction on that RX-7 part
so hopefully I can restore operation and weather sealing to my sunroof soon
It is going to rain the next couple days, which is good cause it'll clear up road salt
but its also sad for me because I don't want to risk getting water inside the car by driving it. (I know that actively driving would not leak, but what about when stopped at a stoplight or if I parked in a parking lot to get something at a store)
civic spoke
I wonder how many of thec ars here in Sweden are said to have over 400 hp
136,549 for sale on Blocket. 2,785 of them having 400 hp or more.
One of the cheapest ones. 
The Swedish police apparently only has a single truck in use, which they got recently.
Sometime last year.
469 hp, and they have removed the 90 kmh limiter on it.
It's a Volvo FMX.
stoic ledge
Oof that actually looks good xD
fair bronze
It surely does

I guess that means that if you are in the way of the police you better move.
That beast ain’t stopping for anyone.

how do i stop one of my frameless windows whistling with the wind?
without taping it shut obvs
rare crow
Is there a good seal?
indigo coral
buy a car that doesn't have frameless windows
fair bronze
I think it's an inconvenience that comes with them
rare crow
Would gasket maker be an option?
Could a seal be created around the edge of the window?
dense shard
I wouldn't use any gasket maker. I'm assuming that stuff is super tacky, and you might glue your window shut.
A length of tape along the edge of the window might work.
Otherwise... maybe a seal got rolled or damaged. worth a look
civic girder
I know my RX-7's doors produce a fuck ton of noise in the wind
like, when you're going over 45mph, you can't even have a conversation with a passenger or listen to music
but that's cause the rubber seals around the edge of the door are completely fucked
and I have been too lazy to order a pair for $60 and bother installing them

Currently fixing a thing with 3d printing
This is what holds the hood rod into the frame/body of the car.
Been loose since I got the car. Decided to finally replace it. A new piece would be $7.14, with the clip the holds the rod in place when the hood is closed.
Decided that since all I need is the grommet, that I'll just print a replacement.

It was ahem a GPS glitch, officer. EMP waves, ya kno? just like why your radar may or may not have clocked me at considerably over teh speed limit.
fathom socket
Virginia has the worse speed limits meh
indigo coral
our speed limit here is 60 on the highway until you get way away from the city and it jumps to 70
fathom socket
Sounds like me tho
indigo coral
I'm pretty damn good at spotting cops if I do say so myself, so I can usually get away with ~5 over
indigo coral
yeah thats how my moms car is
you just kinda are going and you glance down, OH SHIT I'M DOING 85
lol
fathom socket
Lmao
indigo coral
At anything much higher than 80 my car is distinctly unhappy
fastest I've ever taken it is 85
Routinely get up to 70 htough
fathom socket
My old familys car hates on 75 we had to hit 80 to make the wheels and transmission happy
fathom socket
Strange lol
fathom socket
Yeah
indigo coral
(mine has really high revs on the highway, cause 4 speed)
fathom socket
Still great tho
indigo coral
eh
its slow as hell xD
though the benefit is that going from 65 -> 75 is better than a lot of old cars
since you've got some (tiny bit) of power, and you're already fairly high revs
fathom socket
Yeah
indigo coral
I made an oopsy the other day though, there's this curve on the highway here thats fun to floor it though
through*
and I slowed down a bit too much
so it dropped all the way to 2nd
which was not good xD
2nd goes to just over 60
fathom socket
xd
indigo coral
I was going like 55
so it revved ALL the way up
xD
I'd like to have a few choice words with whoever thought it was a good idea to put that transmission in that car
The 07 RX 350 my grandpa has is properly quick
with (iirc) a 6 speed
wish i had that engine and trans
xD

I like how the TPMS light is on in the 07

It fits perfectly
Now my hood rod isn't loose
(Since it's been a bit since I first talked about this, it's a 3d printed grommet. I didn't want to wait nor pay for a replacement)

Drifting with a e500 4matic in the snow is fun until the transfer case explode rip for the second time in 3 month

Perhaps drifting it is a no no?

or maybe e500 is no no

Perhaps Mercedes is a no no
civic girder
fair enough
I'm sticking with Japanese, unless given an enticing reason to get something else
ruby crow
No my friend have a e500 no 4 matic and no problem the transfer case is really a big problem on mercedes that is why the amg 4 matic are just new too much power and the transfer case die so its just non amg 4 matic under 2010 exept for g wagon and ml serie
Everyone are like mercedes are shit but most of them dont even change transmission oil ans transfert case oil and just kill them
normal temple
mercedes are shit and I take care of ours 🤔
ruby crow
Depand the model
We use this as a off road car and we still try to kill it
We have drive like 20km without transmission oil and its still working
dense shard
I don't mind Mercedes, but the upkeep costs are way too much for me to bother with.
I'm sticking to Japanese.
ruby crow
Well if you fix yourself it cost nothing but at a garage fuck

1000 per airshock is fun too
