Going to be installing these XIDA Race coilover suspension from 949 Racing / SuperMiata soon. We chose the standard spring rate 700/400 Hyperco springs with dual-spring helper setup and their version of NB style upper shock mounts. I don't think we can do the long A-arm bolt removal method because of our beefy AWR sway bar mounts. So might have to separate the ball joint, which will probably necessitate installing new ball joints also.
Also in the works for this spring and the beginning of the driving season are
- Install a new set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 tires.
- Fix the MS Labs MS3 "design error" so I can use my Bluetooth adapter.
- Wire up a new custom harness for my throttle position sensor (TPS) with shielded wire. Hopefully that will help with EMI rejection, leading to a more stable TPS signal, which will then allow me to use less software filtering in Tuner Studio and hopefully result in an engine that is more responsive to throttle pedal inputs.
- Install JCALD NA and NB Miata Factory Seat Lowering Rails on my MSM driver seat to get me a little bit lower in the cockpit.
- Begin leather restoration and redye on used set of NA seats with aftermarket leather covers.
- Reattach Redline Goods leather gauge hood cover where it is coming loose.
- Modify instrument cluster by breaking the white plastic light dividers so that the lights behind the tachometer are more diffuse so all the numbers on the gauge face are illuminated. Possibly install LED bulbs as the original incandescent bulbs are now 27 years old.
- Install Revlimiter anti-glare lenses for my KG Works instrument panel cover.
- Install used, crack-free dashboard after I swap the VIN plate from old dashboard to new dashboard.
- Install new door panel interior trim (upper and lower panels, door pulls), window bushings and window guide.
- Start work on restoration of D-Tech M2-1001 front bumper and making mold to reproduce in carbon fiber.
