Thread from the dead after deciding to not sell the car but rather keep it and eventually pick up a Jeep or something cheap and keep the miata for nice weather and track days
Update on what's been done though:
CXRacing aluminum radiator
new clutch master and slave
Removed the 5 gauge pod in favor of a single din
Innovate MTXL wideband
Replaced all coolant, oil, and vacuum lines
List of planned parts:
Flyin Miata Happy Meal Stage I clutch
949Racing stage I brake kit
Flyin Miata swaybars
Garage Vary nostalgia taillight kit
Autokonexion fastback or an OEM hardtop (so i can still take in that sunshine)
and i sold the NB wheels and decided to hold out for some 6UL's next time tires are needed

What's up Tony!! Yeah, been MIA (but still driving it almost daily)
But an update that developped yesterday. Clutch is going bye-bye. Went into boost and suddenly engine revs keep climing but the cars not picking up speed.
I knew it would be soon (thrust bearing has been noisy)
So, the wife HAS to learn to drive stick this weekend, because she's not learning on a new clutch

Got a goodie bag en route for the miata.
Flyin Miata Level 1 clutch, trans input gasket, cam sensor o-ring, rear crankshaft seal, Flyin Miata rear seal tool, front trans seal, upper and lower shift boots, speedo-cable
time for a little TLC for the car when it all gets here

Sweet. Fun little project. I did my first tranny swap for a friend a few weekends ago. Not terribly hard, but I'd try to get a second set of hands available

Oh and a Lisle 24680 Spill-Free Funnel. Should make the coolant flushing/refilling/burping process MUCH cleaner
And would Callie's hands be adequate? Just a set to help align things/push pull on the motor to get trans in out?

So the sensor for certain is the culprate. After removing it from the charge pipes, this is what it looks like.
Tested the new sensor first though before removing the old and new sensor works as well as the wiring in the car, so dead sensor only (thankfully it was simple)
Also, ordered a bluetooth module for the Megasquirt so i'll be able to use the tablet as my dash (using shadow dash) and still be able to power it .
CUrrently i use a Galaxy Tab 3 8" as digital dash, but since it's running hardwired (serial to USB adapter>Usb to micro USB adapter>Tab) it works, but doesn't provide power to the tab, so battery sucks. Running via bluetooth frees up the port on the tab to plug in a powered cable.
Also got the idea to put some rare earth magnets either side of my current gauge/din pocket as well as some strips of carbon steel in the tab case so it'll basically float over the double DIN slot
similiar to this

That mount idea is great, I may have to do that to my Injoy double-din cover.

3,000 rpm - starting to feel the power
Does the magnets affect the way the tablet works. A guy at work set his phone on toolbox and it starting messing up. He was getting mad at the phone. He must of picked it up and set it down four or five times before i pointed out to him that he had a magnetic bolt tray on the inside of toolbox lid and it was messing up phone functions. It was fine once removed but long term affect of a magnet might be dammaging.
