sorry, you must have me confused. i may have said my uncle is a mechanical engineer..? and my father runs a machine shop and i know my way around cars pretty well(mostly old ones tho)

I'm going to calmly explain to you the problem with your reasoning, because i don't like to be confrontational and think it's better to teach and reason than it is to belittle and insult.







The problem is that you are a complete dumbass.

YAY!!! Another nice guy!!!!:) someone thought of it!!! JDM engines put out a couple more HP!

you might have been sarcastic but just in case... are you sure? bolt pattern looks to be the same.. i dont have my tranny out of the car yet so im not positive

ill do the same for you....




:fawk::jerkit:

Remember the Tostitos commercials from a few years back?

"Really?"
"No....NOT really."

be careful with that second emoticon. This is a miata site. I might ask for a reacharound too, sweetcheeks. :bang:

Ahhhh.........I'm going to so miss our little discussions when you're gone. :hs:

LOL, and again, ban!

Yeah of course so they dont put synchros in the transmission. :bowrofl:

ps, its japan, you have to consider the source... they are all dumbasses over there. plus they have to get rid of there engines after 5 years or 50k miles

All joking aside, 1fastmiata, go research what a synchro actually DOES in a transmission and you will understand why we are giving you a hard time about this. as for it being hard to shift, understand that trans has probably been sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long (18 years? lol.) DRY, so it probably has rust flashed on all the internal parts. Get it filled with the correct type and amount of oil then mount the thing in the car and RUN it.

If you send it back to him, based on your description, YOU will be the idiot. You will be out a transmission and you money because it sounds like he is playing you for the fool you seem deadset on BEING.

and ps, i like straight answers im so sick of sarcasm.. it makes me terribly mad

and im not sending it back. i know what synchros do, they just make it so the car shifts smoother and easier.. also so you dont HAVE to double clutch

You got fucked over because you are ignorant. Straight and to the point. You continue to show your lack of maturity and ignorance, stop it please.

i was wondering when you would come in. you always have worthless input to add

come back*

Oh Jesus. I missed this little gem.

Who told you that?! Call him up and tell him you're going over. When he answers the door, PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE.

The Japanese are not REQUIRED to change out their engines every 5 years.

you sure about that? because it has something to do with emissions or smog or something, not really sure... i was told this back when i had my probe and was about to purchase a jspec engine with 40k on it and the gentleman that i was trying to purchase from explained this to me

Who was the engine importer? I had a guy at Noyan motorsports tell me the same thing when i went to order a KLZE for my old mx6 (small world, isn't it? ;) ). Sorry, but it just isn't true. The problem is that cars become more expensive to operate given time, plus those who own cars in Japan typically want the latest and greatest. Call it a national pride issue. :) Repair costs are high there. So people just buy a car for a bit and sell it when it gets some age on it. And of course, that's not everyone, but that's the trend.

I thought you could not get any fucking more idiotic.
