Self Isolation in the Garage - Post Your Car Projects

Suspension arrived today. Went a bit overboard lol Xida Race coils on 800/500 springs
Tell us where you end up setting them after you intall and adjust (ride height and valving). Kyle and I use very different settings, my ride height is 4 3/8 front 4 5/8 rear with the adjusters at 2 front and rear.

Self Isolation in the Garage - Post Your Car Projects

After re-loading the tune on the ECU three times over the past two weeks, I think I am finally happy with the closed loop idle on the silver Miata. I found a set of youtube videos that explained the settings better than anything I have seen in nearly three years of trying to get the closed loop idle ...

Self Isolation in the Garage - Post Your Car Projects

I replaced the 1.8 brakes with 1.6 brakes on the silver Miata, hated the way they felt after bedding them. Swapped the 1.8 brakes back onto the car. Anyone need/want 1.6 brake rotors and pads? I replaced the steering wheel with a 320mm deep dish wheel, didn't like the way it felt, changed to a 350mm ...

The Not-A-Project Miata Project

So, I should have a 12mm rear bar. If removing it is too much, I could find an 11.
I have three NBs to help me remember NBs. I should have a 11, I will look this afternoon.

The Not-A-Project Miata Project


Daniel, nobody makes a smaller-than-stock swaybar for a Miata. Though there are several stock ones to choose from. The front can be 19 or 20... and I think 21. (the FM is 25mm solid) The rear can be 11 or 12, or 14 for the Mazdaspeed.

An 11mm bar is REALLY tiny. It's literally only about a 50 ...

I like the grid/timing set up like this. Not sure why, but it just feels better this way.... Except you couldn't see your times at the end of the run

Summer has ended, did you notice. I decided not to pack my rain gear this morning, I might want to re-think that in the future. I really needed to look farther ahead on this course, only my last run felt like I knew where I wanted to go. Here is my fourth and best run, way off the pace from Kyle ...
