another one in 2 weeks right? Gotta a question guys. I had GC coilover sleeves on the last NB. Should I do it again?

Demon I Am
06-27-2012, 12:39 PM
On stock shocks? You can do it, but the shocks will not last very long before the stress of shorter springs gets to them. If you get them for a really good deal, go for it, but start saving up for better tubes. Or just wait and pick up something inexpensive, but proven, like the Meagans, or the FM Vmaxx setup.

tsingson
06-27-2012, 12:45 PM
Yeah we checked to see if my shocks were blown last night and it looked alright. I know eventually I will be stepping it up with some AGXs. I had those before and I liked them for what I did with them. So if I use a coilover sleeve at least I can swap it over to the new ones when the times comes right?

Demon I Am
06-27-2012, 12:51 PM
I am not too sure, but as long as they fit together properly, I think you are right-on.

tsingson
06-27-2012, 12:55 PM
Ok. And we got to talking about wheels last night and I was looking at some of the drag, rota, and xxr wheels and there aren't many of the styles I like in low offsets. It sucks.

Demon I Am
06-27-2012, 01:29 PM
Wheels are a pretty personal choice, IMHO. What styles do you like? Where are you setting your budget? and how soon are you looking to buy? When the time comes, I'm sure we can find you a deal on something.

tsingson
06-27-2012, 01:38 PM
Definitely. I'm not too worried about wheels at the moment as I do have some on there already. My definite first mod on it is the roll bar, and not too far after is lowering it. Then it's a crap shoot from there. As long as I don't get impatient and try and sell it, then we should be fine.

If those shocks on your car are indeed Bilsteins, then I would keep those over the AGX. Bilsteins are monotube, better vavling for lower speeds, and some have been tested within 99% in range at 100k miles when compared with new ones. Coilover sleeves, good ones, are made for the specific diameter of a specific shock. So, if you have sleeves for one shock, it may not fit another brand.

tsingson
06-27-2012, 03:58 PM
Ok. I am really not believing the PO of the car about them being Bilsteins though. When I looked under the car when I did my oil change, they were gray. Only one way to find out though.

Demon I Am
06-27-2012, 05:06 PM
Bilsteins (some of them) are grey with blue lables, iirc , like these: http://www.mazda-speed.com/albums/BEGi-stainless-divorced-gas-no-cat-DP/miata_parts_002.jpg

only colors ve ever seen billys is yellow or black, but thats just for shocks, those r def a first for me

I wonder if it is ust the mazdaspeeds then.

06-28-2012, 08:43 AM
I saw an ad for a hard dog hard bar in South Jersey for about $175. Should I maybe jump on that? What do you guys think?

kung fu jesus
06-28-2012, 08:45 AM
Long drive to find out if it's in good shape or not.

tsingson
06-28-2012, 08:49 AM
Well, I do have the 4x4 couch and that drive is easy. But I also have family up there that can look at it for me.

kung fu jesus
06-28-2012, 08:54 AM
true. you might want to school them on the differences between an OEM top and a snugtop.

tsingson
06-28-2012, 09:17 AM
? I thought we were talking about a hard dor hard bar?

kung fu jesus

:fp:

Sorry. Coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

tsingson
06-28-2012, 09:48 AM
Ok. Just making sure because I was like huh?

Demon I Am
06-28-2012, 10:48 AM
So I can get the wiring/ecu/rest of the 1.8 bits from Jason for an additional $280, which makes it $860 +consumables & install bits. I'm torn between just trying the swap as-is, and going all out. The extra $280 would help with new engine seals and misc. I really don't know what is best to do.

kung fu jesus
06-28-2012, 11:04 AM
It is good pricing. I would do a bit of research. I mentioned the gauge compatibility. Also, does that include the ECU?

Demon I Am
06-28-2012, 11:24 AM
Yeah, harnesses & ECU, Coil pack, throttle body with IAC, no abs, hopefully a MAF. My long nose motor will allow me to swap over the pulley boss and run the alt/ac. Might as well go for it, since I'm looking at almost the same cost for FM's conversion kit parts.

kung fu jesus
06-28-2012, 12:03 PM
Are there compression numbers?

Demon I Am
06-28-2012, 01:59 PM
I can not get a straight answer anywhere I look. I am just getting the motor and seeing how that does first, before messing with the wiring. I have been looking and reading way too much. I've seen more people have success than not, so we'll roll the dice. I don't think he has an engine pulled for me yet, but I will get compression numbers beforehand. Thanks for the reminder.
I have 4 cans of r12 from craigslist, and a guy heading towards my work to check out the system, and charge me up, hopefully.

tsingson
06-28-2012, 08:02 PM
Good luck with the recharge man. Oh and btw remember my horn issue. I bought a new horn but i think the problem is somewhere between the horn button and horn. i tired the new horn on the battery and it is real loud. I didn't see a fuse for the horn, only a relay. Any ideas guys?

Demon I Am
06-28-2012, 09:51 PM
horn shares the brake light fuse, iirc. if your brake lights are working, then it is probably the relay.

mhogan0
06-28-2012, 10:33 PM
Hey Demon my car is a 1.8 swap and im using all the 1.6 stuff

Demon I Am
06-28-2012, 10:52 PM
any issues with yours? what engine?

mhogan0
06-28-2012, 11:18 PM
nope 94 1.8

Demon I Am
06-29-2012, 01:10 PM
FROSTY-cold now. AC vents blowing at 60*, after 2 cans of freon. The system has a bit of a whine/whistle to it, and eats the hell out of my hp, though.

mhogan0
06-29-2012, 01:27 PM
But at least ur cool now unlike me I've yet to get that fixed

Demon I Am
06-29-2012, 01:45 PM
Does your system work? we can probably get you going.

mhogan0
06-30-2012, 08:27 AM
so when is the next meet planned for I hope its cooler then

Demon I Am
06-30-2012, 09:49 AM
July 10 would be 2 weeks, how does that work?

tsingson
06-30-2012, 10:41 AM
it sounds good.

tsingson
07-01-2012, 06:57 AM
Anyone else needing anything from Bethania? I should planning my trip there in a couple of weeks to pick up my M2 sport. Unless Toney's boss decides to part ways with his for a ridiculous price.

mhogan0
07-01-2012, 10:17 AM
I'm in for the 10th, got another suggestion how bout we make it a road trip down to bethania

tsingson
07-01-2012, 10:52 AM
I was going to take my Expedition to pick up the roll bar as I don't exactly know how well the box would fit in the miata. And I don't think that's something we can do in the middle of the week as far as a drive there. I could be wrong though.

tsingson

Almost forgot the video I was supposed to show you guys....

kung fu jesus
07-02-2012, 07:22 PM
Awesome. I always wondered if that happened often in California.

If the horn is weak, check the voltage at the terminal.
There is a relay system for it.

I love having AC back in the Miata. Yes, it's slow but I'm feeling good and not pouring sweat.

kung fu jesus
07-05-2012, 07:51 AM
So, I went to see the fireworks from a buddy's house a few blocks east of downtown. Sat in his front lawn with a beer to watch.

A tree a block away blocked the view. :?

tsingson
07-05-2012, 08:57 AM
There were fireworks yesterday?

kung fu jesus
07-05-2012, 08:59 AM
Yeah, in downtown Raleigh.

Besides the t-storms that blew through...

tsingson
07-05-2012, 09:21 AM
So when is the tech day? I should have a roll bar to install. Finally.

mhogan0
07-06-2012, 11:45 PM
Sweeeeet, good for u I hope to have one soon too

Demon I Am
07-07-2012, 07:34 AM
they need to take the fireworks back to the fairgrounds.

tsingson
07-08-2012, 11:22 AM
Looks like I will be receiving my Roll Bar on Tuesday at the meet. We gotta try and get the details ironed out on a tech day so I can get some assistance on installing this thing.

tsingson
07-10-2012, 08:41 AM
Alright, who is showing up tonight? I'll be coming right from work so please don't mind the business casual look.

kung fu jesus
07-10-2012, 08:55 AM
I should be there.Glad the heat broke for this.

tsingson
07-10-2012, 08:57 AM
I hope it doesn't rain because I have to take the roll bar home tonight and I really don't want to bring the Expedition out to the meet.

Demon I Am
07-10-2012, 09:41 AM
you should be able to get the top up with it back there
Not sure if John is coming out, or dropping the bar off with me.

tsingson
07-10-2012, 09:55 AM
Ok cool. I got the cash. Im all ready to go. Just wish I could start the install soon.

kung fu jesus
07-10-2012, 10:22 AM
Yeah, the bar might fit under the top if you invert it and rest it behind the seats.

tsingson
07-10-2012, 10:23 AM
That's what Tony was saying. We will see tonight. I may be there earlier than 7pm since I am coming from work. I may grab some dinner before the meet.

Demon I Am
07-10-2012, 11:34 AM
I have 2 roll bars in the miata, and the top is on.

tsingson
07-10-2012, 11:37 AM
So John gave the bar to you to take to the meet?

mhogan0
07-10-2012, 01:56 PM
You're bringing it

tsingson
07-10-2012, 02:06 PM
Bringing which?

Demon I Am
07-10-2012, 02:10 PM
For reals. Roll bar fits belind the seats, but one of the front feet are in my seat. So it will be a slightly uncomfortable ride home.

Do you guys want to move this to somewhere covered? It's raining like hell here in Raleigh.

tsingson
07-10-2012, 02:15 PM
Im down the road from the airport and the sun was just glistening off my windshield.

kung fu jesus
07-10-2012, 02:50 PM
Sunny here over by Rex/PNC. I see clouds, but the rain has passed.

Demon I Am
07-10-2012, 02:59 PM
Guess we can play it by ear. It was raining like hell for the last hour, but now it looks good.

tsingson
07-10-2012, 03:10 PM
So is it just the 3 of us going?

tsingson
07-10-2012, 08:31 PM
Good meet tonight guys. Lets get the tech day rolling. Let me just tell you. I have never sat that close to a steering wheel before in my life. And that bar had left an indentation on my left leg. Not fun at all.

Demon I Am

tsingson
07-11-2012, 04:25 PM
I was trying to find a price but haven't succeeded. I saw that Sears is selling them online but I didn't get a chance to look. I like the SSR Comp reps but they are running a 40 offset.

07-11-2012, 04:32 PM
I was trying to get a hold of Toney because I know he said he is going to work on his car this weekend but I wanted to see if maybe he needed help and maybe even get my roll bar going so that way on tech day I can just maybe do a diff fluid change.

kung fu jesus
07-11-2012, 04:49 PM
The key tools for that job are a drill and and long ass drill bit alo.g with tin snips or a dremel with a cutoff wheel. A grinder works well too. I have snips and a grinder.

tsingson
07-11-2012, 05:18 PM
I'm going to print up the instructions for the installation. I have most of those tools. I just need some veteran experience help.

Demon I Am
07-12-2012, 10:02 AM
Howdy.
Anthony-- I have the long drill bit needed for the install, and possibly a short bit as well. Forgot to dig them out of storage. I can lend them out to you, if I can find them.

Tech Day-- Who is hosting, and when? My preference would be in 2 weekends (July 21-22), or 4 weeks after that. I have my son every other week.

tsingson
07-12-2012, 10:16 AM
Well July 21-22 would be ideal because the following weekend after that is Deals Gap. I was hoping to maybe get the bar in earlier so I can concentrate on doing a diff and tranny fluid flush on tech day.

kung fu jesus
07-12-2012, 09:12 PM
I *might* have a top-on-frame to install soon.

Well Mikael has come through. I should be doing the install with his help on Sunday. There is one problem though. I may not be able to make the meets on Tuesday anymore. My basketball season is starting every Tuesday night. I don't know if anyone is ok with a change in day but if you guys can't, I understand.

tsingson
07-13-2012, 11:55 AM
Hey guys. If anyone is around on Sunday, we will be at Mikael's shop doing the roll bar install. I'm buying some beer so if anyone wants to hang out. swing on by.

Yesss!!! How does the bikini top fit the roll bar?

tsingson
07-15-2012, 08:25 PM
Fits almost perfect. Just need to make a small adjustment. I was talking with mikael and i also spoke with my wife and after we make the final adjustments, depending on who is interested in one within our R.A.M.M group, i may be making some for a fee. Depending on how many people want one you know. But ill take pics tomorrow of the bar and bikini top in the light.

Here is what I could get. I still have to make an adjustment to the top so that it isn't flapping. I think I will be adding the center section of velcro so it hugs the center bar.

tsingson
07-16-2012, 09:15 AM
I just wanted to see if anyone would be ok with moving the meets to Monday. Tuesdays are no longer good for me. Maybe this will make Mondays something to look forward to now?

You'll probably get more folks to show up if you move it to Fridays (a la KINOD).

tsingson
07-16-2012, 12:34 PM
There aren't many enthusiasts in the area. I am surprised we have as many as we do now.

I think there a lot more than u think but just not on the forum and do like the idea of a fri night meet

07-16-2012, 01:16 PM
By moving it to Fridays, you might also get an odd cat or three from Charlotte and/or VA.

Lol I hate ur sig. Like I told you and mikael yesterday I'm cool with any day other than wed.

The car looks good btw. Were you able to get the door trim to finish it off? I forgot to tell you guys yesterday but if you use a heat gun it will make bending the door trim much much easier.

tsingson
07-16-2012, 05:20 PM
I actually didnt need the door trim. I cut it so close that it looks good as is.

Demon I Am
07-26-2012, 01:47 PM
Dunno about cops. It's hard to find fun roads in central NC, without getting way out of the city. Way too much sprawl. Clayton has a few nice backroads. Might be worth asking/(looking up online) some biker guys where they go.
