I just installed that mtec spring on mine this morning. It's perfect. I get plenty of feedback on the clutch engaging through my foot, the pedal is plenty light, and there's no slop at the top.

Brzs/ft86s etc have a helper spring to push down the clutch pedal in the pedal assembly. It also seems to slow or mess with letting the clutch out. Good if you're bad at manuals since it will help you not stall it but bad if you know what you're doing since it numbs it and makes engagement based on position and speed, instead of just position. The aftermarket one is a much much weaker spring. I've had this car for 3 years and today was the first time I didn't have a wtf moment letting the clutch out.

kastein posted:A lot of the engines I work on don't have a magnetic drain plug, though I certainly would prefer a magnetic one for all the reasons given. I'm mostly suspicious of drain valves like that because I don't want to smack them on something off-road or road debris on the highway or something. This forever. The convince sounds nice but a bolt is just so much less... dangly feeling.

BlackMK4 posted:Anyone have an NB Miata? Curious if I could get a picture of what the rain rails are supposed to look like beside the trunk. Is it flat or is there some kind of curve? I figured it was kind of curved when I started beating on the car, but I'm almost positive at this point that they are meant to be flat. Not mine but I have access to one. Send me pics of exactly what you want to see and I'll try to.match them. I can take measurements too.

It usually feels dumb but that one time someone does the I have awd/a truck/my Subaru thing in front of you and you have enough grip to not get entangled in their bullshit you'll feel super smart and buy another set when they dry rot. Also when you get to a hill and there are a bunch of cars at the bottom and a leaderboard of tire tracks going halfway up.

Imperador do Brasil posted:Looks good! I thought about going wider but I wanted to keep the weight down, and my fuel economy with 235’s is like 38-40mpg with the 19.5/23.5psi tune; I’d really like to keep it up there. The gold looks great so good call. I debated the 235s but was mostly motivated by autox so I went bigger. Also the brz has surprisingly poo poo fuel economy anyway.

Getting another $150 on top to cover the rental for a bit longer. God speed with the insurance.

The cheap harbor freight airbrush is fine for applying it.

EvilBeard posted:I actually bought some of the air cure cerakote (C-7600 Glacier Black), I just have to blast it to get a rough enough surface for adhesion. Once I took them out of the box, I wasn't sure if I liked the natural stainless look or whether I should go through with black in the engine bay. This is why they make us do word problems. I vote black. It keeps heat in the exhaust and out of the engine bay without the hassle and fire risk of header wrap. Form follows function forever.

Panty Saluter posted:OK so, refilled the coolant and it was fine for a minute. No heat, upper hose is hot, lower hose is still cold. Figure I have an air bubble behind the thermo....I did disconnect a lot of coolant hoses getting the manifold off. Best bet is to let it cool, run without the thermo until it burps, then reinstall? Or is there a better way? It can take a you've got to be kidding me amount of time for a Honda bseries to get up to 180+. If there's a thing on the thermostat housing that looks like a brake bleeder nipple it is but for the cooling system. Crack that (carefully and not under pressure) to burp air. Also rasing the front end with a jack can help convince the air that the radiator is the best place to go.

I looked at them recently and it wasn't a deep dive but they kind of seem amazing now. Some were even claiming to watch air radar info to warn of police aircraft. Also I guess they could tie into other radar detectors through your phone and warn you that someone ahead of you just got hit. I don't do enough highway driving or speeding to dig into it but am curious if any of that actually works.

It really feels like a matter of when, not if, doesn't it? kastein posted:I hate it when tribal knowledge like that is incomplete because they don't mention the ancillary stuff you also need to modify, replace, delete, or outright hack to make the "just bolts in" mod possible. I've had any number of people tell me the Dakota tank "just bolts into" a Comanche when doing a 97-01 conversion exactly like the suggestion you were given but no one mentioned that you have to cap off the factory fill ports and hack new holes in and then self tapper screw some flanges on in the right place. I'm just glad your "just bolts in" mod went fairly smoothly and that I found this out before buying parts for my "just bolts in" mod. So many parts or common mods seem like they were designed on an already modded car. It makes sense, you're probably going to have coilovers on the car you design brake ducts for. You'll probably only sell them to people who have installed coilovers too. Mix that with broken tinypic or whatever dead image hosting site and I don't even know where I'm going with this but yes. I'm in violent agreement with you. Hey fastbrakes, when your website says in all caps FOR SI ONLY and FOR NON SI maybe specify you mean 99-00 Si when shits listed 88-00. Yeah I guess everyone was swapping knuckles left and right but gently caress spell it out.

Also you can reprogram them to lock unlock lock so you start the car doors locked with no 3x lock horn beep.

I relocated a car from the street to the garage for a friend one time. He had started drinking and decided to crash, didn't want it left on the street overnight. I left it in 1st with the ebrake on. He butt dialed his remote start that night and welp. I didn't know it had a remote start, he'd just bought the car. That sucked. Also holy poo poo the number of people who think they can trick you into installing one on a manual. I worked in a shop that did NOT do stereo etc work. We would and could but it was more a custom fab and performance place. Every loving winter. Rinnnng ring Hello? Hey yeah my buddy said you can install remote starters? Not on a manual. (Suprised) what uh why does that matter? You'll sue me when your car drives over some kid I wouldn't sue you! I know the risk I'm taking. You will after your lawyer asks if you want to be liable for running over some kid vs me. Come on wtf man Everyone else told you no too for a reason. gently caress you *click*

TrueChaos posted:My wife's manual 2016 mazda 3 has a remote starter. The procedure for enabling it is that you have to enable it at the end of your drive, and it's ready to go for the next time you use it. Procedure is car in neutral, foot on brake, pump parking brake 3 times and the indicators flash, leave parking brake on and exit the vehicle. The remote starter turns off the car, and you're good to go. Can't enable it with the clutch in, so you can't leave it in gear. If you open the door without remotely starting it, the remote start is disabled. That's actually brilliant. I got out of cars for a living 10 years ago so my experience is out of date.

BlackMK4 posted:Wellll, the thing is some other people with the same swap also have this to varying degrees after I asked around for data logs. I am assuming it has to do with the kit wiring harness not being properly shielded. Shielding or a grounding issue was going to be my first guess. If it has shielding is it only grounded on one side (1 is correct iirc, both ends turns it into another wire but it's been a minute)? Also maybe the shield is wired to the same ground as the sensors? Idk if that would cause the issue but maybe. Are those sensors 0-5v?
