Hello Miata Fam. The block is finally back from the machine shop. After nearly 4 1/2 month they finished the work. Bored 2mm, with a knife edged crank, Manley "H" beam rods (not the K1 "H" Beams I...
Hello, The block is now at the machine shop (Las Vegas Machine, Nevada Crank Shaft). While there it will get bored to 85mm, Short blocked, balanced and the crank will be knife edged. I will post a...
Yall are doing better than me atm. Mines not running yet. It Still has a long way to go. Thanks for the well wishing and I hope you and your son enjoy 90.
I have been trying to get my Miata back on the road. I first planed to get a JDM motor but with them always being sold out I told the wife I will just build up the motor I have. She convinced me to...
Ty HarryB, I was hoping to go 2mm making it a 1mm overbore but I also wanted the 11.0:1 comp. I could not find any 86mm pistons with better then 9:1 comp so If I don't want to pay for custom made...
Im looking at 85mm 11.0:1 pistons. Looks like there are only two manufacturers. Toda, who put's a huge premium on their product and Supertech who tends to be more affordable. Which would you choose...
Thank you everyone for the information. It is greatly appreciated.
Hello Miata Fam. I have had a 79 Miata for a number of years now. Even done a bit of work on that old 1.8 with my son. The head is decked, the HLA's have been swapped for solid lifters, stiffer valve...
I have a 97 1.8 BP. I'm looking to swap it out with a 99-00 1.8 BP 4w, on the account of having coolant in the oil. (engine swap may cost less than a rebuild) Besides the engine what would I be...
Just about any hard top off of an NA will fit. If you go with one that was made for an NB (99-08) it will require some altering to make all the seals line up. As for the rims you can get away with...
lol "Just one more thing to add to the list". Sounds like something I have been saying since day 1. It's fun though when you are actually making improvements instead of just fixing.
Rust Rat check out this site, it's supported by Flyinmiata. http://www.solomiata.com/CheapHP.html. I'm not sure if it will answer your question but it may give you an idea. This is where I found some...
Ty for telling me about 949racing. I have added that site to my growing list of places to look for parts. They actually have things I have been looking for but can't find elsewhere. The list of...
After taking in the cam numbers and the OEM numbers for the springs to the machine shop we were able to find springs that will work with the original seats and retainers while providing adequate...
The guy I bought my Miata from changed the clutch about a month before I bought it. He did not change the slave and master. I had the car for about two months before the slave blew its seal. I would...
I spent a good portion of the day yesterday looking for info on cams but couldnt find much. Then after ordering the cam I started looking up springs and that's when I came across Solomiata's html...
So this is OEM or the closest thing I can find to it. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=217657&cc=1190955&jsn=370 And thees are what I am considering from Auto Zone. ...
I'm doing a head rebuild. The head is currently at the shop getting inspected for tolerances on the valve guides and checking the valve condition. They will be re-seating the valves and shaving the...
1. BP4???
2. Would that be the intake or the exhaust side if I go with only one cam.
3. How much would you recommend I shave? I do intend to keep this as a daily driver, so I'm not trying to...
Thees are what I'm looking at. http://949racing.com/15x9-6ul.aspx .. I haven't decided on a color yet.
I was thinking about using thees. www.flyinmiata.com/valve-spring-kit.html .. http://www.mossmiata.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=77140 .. and cams from HKS intake and exhaust are $355.00...
When I'm done working on my Miata head I was thinking about selling my stock 14" rims to buy 15x9 rims. What would be a reasonable price for the stock ones? The 15x9 rims cost about $150.00 each.
If I ever traded My Miata. It would be for another Miata. If things work out The one I have now will one day belong to my son.
Aren't the 240 and 260z's made by Nisan? :D
I appreciate all of the advice on getting a 99-02 head. I would have gotten one today but the bone yard had only two Miatas. A 92 and a 94. The local Miata bone yard wants $500- $600 for them If they...
