Still lookin' good man
It was 105 in the garage again today, too f'ng hot.
Installed the CL Mishimoto fans I picked up a few weeks ago with the rad. I removed the metal ring with the logos. They didn't look like the did anything other than show off the brand and add weight so in the trash they went. I checked them with the battery to be sure they work and all is good.
Also came across this horn hiding in the bumper. The horn hasn't worked since day one. I will have to see were the problem is.
Took the car out for a test drive and the fans are not kicking on. For that matter I'm not sure the old fan was working so one more thing to work out.
After pulling the six speed from the yard there is some confusion over what rearend I have. I pulled it from the same car. When I originally found the NB in the yard it had a five speed knob so I assumed it had a 4.3 dif. When we went back last week to grab the motor it was noticed that it actually was a six speed car. That would mean a 3.9 rear. The NB had at some point had a rollbar and it did have sport breaks, Flying Miata sways and an after market exhaust which the junkyard had cut. Because of this I suspected that maybe the NB owner had swapped out the 3.9 because my car feels quick so fingers crossed.
During the test drive to check the fans i used my gps to check gear ratios. At some point I will just pull the dif and count teeth.
At 3,000 rpm in each gear I ended up with:
1st-13 mph
2nd-22 mph
3rd-31 mph
4th-40 mph
5th-50 mph
6th-60 mph
Tires are worn Star Spec 195/60/14.
Fuck this, garage is closed!
My dad just gave me a cd with pics and a few videos he took on the cars first day out at Adam's. Too much fun!
It looks to me that it is my brother Dave driving my car and I am driving the red one in the videos. You can tell by the black helmet and by the way he babies my car.
In these three pics you can see the talent just slip away into smoke.
Pops swears he was just shooting my custom dash work but I have my doubts.
dang rob, i didnt even know you had a build thread. i was going to tell you to make one but then i come across this lol. im defenitely subscribed and good job!!!!!!!!
Check your relay for the horn. That's what was keeping mine from working.
More pics of that girl up there in the short shorts.
Second that!
Here you guys go. Lucky for you my dad is a dirty old man. Take a look at the Monster she is holding to get an idea of how tiny this girl really is. I asked and I forget the actual numbers she told me but she is well under five foot and around 85lbs. Her words were "I am fun size".
I am proud of this forum, the other forum just wanted pics of the cat shit in the trunk.
I got out in the garage a little after 4pm today. Another hot one.
Started out pulling off the stock boat anchor.
Replaced it with this. I got this off another Miata my brother and I bought to flip about a year ago so it was basically free.
Swapped the five speed speedo gear assembly onto the six. Easy, pull one out and pop the new one in. Did spill some gear oil but not much.
Five speed unit.
Six speed unit.
Wait, there is a car in this thread?
Sell me your stock exhaust?
