Add on Aux-In modules work through an FM modulator that intercepts the radio antennae and broadcasts through a certain station when turned on. This will work with any head unit that has FM radio and you might need antennae adapters depending on the car. You can do without a head unit and use any amp, you'll just need an Ipod/Aux to RCA cable to provide signal. The cheap mini hifi or motorcycle amps work the same way.

Saw the rusty NA today, it's in pretty good shape besides the rust. But my god the test drive reminded me how much fun a low power sports car can be. Even in its slightly neglected condition everything just felt so right. As fun as the Fit is the test drive just amplified the issues I have with it (clutch and seat height, etc.) Put in an offer on it, seriously considering getting a Miata regardless though.

Chiming in on the rollbar chat; you're effectively raising the center of gravity by installing one and risk having steel tubing slamming into the back of your skull if you get rear ended on the street.

Hmm a rollbar weighs less than I thought so sitting in the car does raise the center of gravity more... There is dual durometer padding available but I don't know how much safer it is for your bare noggin. But I do agree that a rollbar should be installed only if you spend time on the track or enjoy performance driving. Any recommendations for a shifter bushing/boot kit for a NA?

Finally found a set of decently priced wheels for the NA/Fit (15x7 rota gt3 with RT615s) but hellaflushness has corrupted my brain and I'm afraid the +40 (or 42) offset will ruin my street cred. Is it safe to run say 7mm spacers? 10mm is apparently too much for factory studs. Edit: Nvm 1/4" or 6.35mm will work. Bulk Vanderhuge fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Nov 8, 2013 |

The more I research suspension options the more confused I get uggggghhh. I think I'm going to get Vmaxx classics with a front RB sway bar unless the 949 Tecnas come out in the spring. Xida clubsports would be great but I think I'd rather use the difference to get a set of 15x9s + tires.

Moisture inside the car will do it as well, snow on floormats, etc.  AFTERMARKET SEAT QUESTIONWhich one would AI go with in an NA? -2 Sparco Speed 2s for $400 Or -1 Recaro Profi SPG for $700 Stock seats, no harnesses or rollbar yet. Both are used and in good condition, pretty sure the Recaro is real.

Hog Obituary posted:When the swap alone is going to cost you $9k, it doesn't really seem worthwhile unless you're truly in love with a k-series or really really hate forced induction. It all depends on the final price, I saw $5k being thrown around on the thread on miataturbo and $1-2k for the longblock. 240whp naturally aspirated with basic bolt ons sounds pretty appealing.

On paper the ND checks off most of the enthusiast wants: it's pretty much an NA with 50% more power and modern safety engineering, chassis rigidity, convenience features and good fuel economy. The Mazda 2 interior looks fantastic and really evokes the minimalist NA6 dash.

Larrymer posted:I've found the perfect car that I want to buy, but I'm realizing I don't think a miata will work for me again. Have you tried out other seat models? Entry level racing seats have gently caress all for padding and comfort, it might be worth investing in a better seat if that's the only issue. I've heard good things about the Pro-Car seat mounts too.

Dual durometer roll bar padding will mitigate the melon smashing: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=2397 Again if it's going to be a street only car don't bother with a roll bar.

Gangringo posted:I'm 6'3" with longish legs and a shortish torso. Between simple reversible mods like clutch pedal adjustment, gas pedal modification, seat foam reshaping, and an armrest delete will a NB ever be comfortable enough to daily? Smaller diameter aftermarket wheel (great mod regardless), PCI seat bracket that bolts to the floor with a non entry level aftermarket seat. The NA might fit you better, some guys on mnet are even taller than you are.

quote:For 2009, the MX-5 Miata's 6-speed delivers quicker, lighter, more direct shift feel thanks to a new carbon coating on the 1st through 4th gear synchros and larger diameter syncrhos on 3rd and 4th gear. 6th gear is also slightly taller (0.787:1 vs. 0.832:1) for improved fuel economy and more relaxed highway cruising. The NC1 has a weak shifter fork design apparently. Differences listed here: http://www.miata.net/faq/america/2009.html

craig588 posted:I actually move the seat forward in NAs and NBs for a more comfortable position with a 34 inch inseam. That's more for my arms to be comfortable though. I remove the dead pedal and let my left foot rest on the floor, that combined with "gutted" seats fits me very comfortably. That's one of the reasons why I added a quick release hub and a smaller wheel, you can do the same thing with a steering wheel spacer too. That and a foamectomy definitely made the driving position a lot more comfortable. Mr.Bob posted:Darn. it is 34".

He and I talked about doing a factory order, since I'm not in a huge rush to get a new car. Hopefully this means I can use the Club as a base and get them to add some of the electronic stuff and seats from the GT. If not, at least I know I'll get the color I want FWIW the Canadian GT has all the Club goodies including the LSD https://www.mazda.ca/globalassets/cars/brochures/2016-Mazda-MX-5-Brochure-EN.pdf?sessionid=80949a7b-a513-4791-b47d-fd4da8f64e70
