93' Miata stolen and flipped build thread
#1125
I just don't want to replace the 2 dashboard vents. I'm a skinny bastard with no body fat. When it gets cold...I like my heat. Revlimiter gave me a link to the Zoom Tombstone which has three 3 gauge holes above the vents but A) It is pricy B) I don't like the lines of it much.
Saying that a thought dawned on me that when it gets cold enough I'll probably be driving the Jetta instead of the Miata....hmmm

I am up in Cedar City with my miata w/ hardtop also with no body fat, and tbh to get heat the fastest I find to just use the defrost and floor setting, even with the snow and stuff we got last week the eyeball vents just get my eyes dried out too fast.
Ive just been using recirculate when water temps are below 160 to get heat asap, and then it gets to be just a furnace. I have had to set it halfway and then switch to outside air and its still baking in there.

Hope it warms up for yah man.

I've come to the conclusion there is no way to do your bushings without covering everything in grease.
I put all new zerk fittings in and redrilled the holes for the grease path. It was much easier this second time around mostly due to me actually organizing the bushings really well before I started.

Glad the hard/messy part is out of the way.

Bilstein's need some TLC before I put them on but it is a tidy little box if I must say so myself.
The gold bolts with red poly bushings is a perfect mix. Had to use a little metal polish to pull all the corrosion off the stainless lines.
Now it is time to grab some donuts and coffee and recharge the ol' battery a bit.

Hmm why haven't I seen your Miata around. Is yours the white or blue Miata I've seen on occasion?
Ive seen a blue w/ stripes and a yellow one in town, not yet seen a white one personally.
Tried to acknowledge them, its not like I was doing this:
But they kinda just give dirty looks, it was like a nod in their direction. I don't think they care, they were using it as a point A to B car

I think the line has started a while a go. I've had a few PM's about that exact thing.

Joy of joys that is all done. That thing is a beast to align properly so all the holes slot in right. I had a jack stand under the diff and a jack under each control arm and would slowly left each side until I could get the strut hat bolts connected. Then again with the back and forth until I could get both subframe-chassis nuts/bolts on.
So many things to connect to the subframe! Everything is torqued to its proper spec and can be ignored for a while now. Going to start on the front subframe in a little bit and get that hooked up as well.
Found the proper grommet and bracket for the emergency brake cable.
Lines hooked up the the brakes and adjusted for 5-7 clicks; which is what the manual calls for.
The sway bar oddly gave me a lot of trouble. I could find no information on the proper way to install it so I winged it and it didn't turn out great. the left side is only 1 mm off the body of the subframe and I know for sure it will rub. Ignore the grease, I had just gotten done.
lookin' pretty
