leica posted:Just get a good set of tires, that's the best thing you can do for your Miata. Falken Azenis are an excellent tire for the price. i dont know if the NB is different, but the intake is a MUCH bigger improvement i've dyno'd my car with a racing beat intake, and a catback, and with a stock exhaust. one horsepower difference. the intake was good for about 5-6whp. stock 1.8's tend to get 103, i got 109 and 108

thats a good deal for a nice car. if you want to fix the clearcoat peeling in a little spot under the gas lid, just use some spraypaint can clear over it, problem solved.

get some better tires than that. the 185/65 is too tall, and ziex have the same amount of grip as I cant believe its not butter.

Having a torsen LSD is very smooth and it doesnt get intrusive in slow driving. My kaaz 1.5 way which made out of the bones of dead japanese race drivers is a bit more intrusive

I havent driven an ITB'd miata before, but i have driven a carbed one (ce28n's car, the one in modified mag) and watched it do a dyno run.. 170k mile 1.6 with mikuni pph 40mm carbs, hks vpc, rb header, testpipe, and rsr exhaust put down 111whp tuned by a stoner. thats 2 more than my 100k mile 1.8 with RB intake and RSR exhaust. the power wasnt a big deal but the noise and feel of the great midrange response was really cool. I would do ITB's but I cant justify the price. (felt alot better than my 1.8 even down low)

I dont know about the manual rack guys. i've got a manual rack with azenis and a 330mm wheel and parking in my garage sucks.  also. I'm M.net approved 1995 base with 88k miles RB intake and BSP exhaust for $3000 even.

The azenis are rediculously cheap. The RS2 would be a logical choice(more comfortable and longer wearing than than azenis), but it is more money.

Illumina vs AGX debate... They both suck, from my experience the AGX suck less and are cheaper. Konis are so much better that no one should buy anything else.\ ClubRoadster isnt all ricers (me)! And my car is Finally back to 100% and ready for the track (except my tires are almost gone again )

I ordered some hankook RS2's in 225/45/15 just now, yay!!! I'm researching swaybars right now... I'm pretty much dead set on a RB tubular front with the stock rear bar (11mm), I'll be using superpro Poly bushings for the rear sway, and For the rear I'm planning on just getting the block kit, and not the whole bracket. Anyone got any reason why I should be running the full brace kit? My friend who worked at RB and Emilio both told me just to use the block kit.

Savington, you rule! that was awesome. Kaaz LSD's are supposed to be able to handle a pretty good beating, and they arent too expensive (I paid 730 shipped for mine) Phone: I just put in some HP+ and Napa Ultra Premium Rotors (18$ a piece brembos) The Break in was great, doing the race situation stops at night is way cool with sparks flying out of the wheel wells. And I'll be putting 225/45/15 RS2's on wednesday. Oh and I installed the RB hollow front bar but havent tested it yet.

phone: Go to napa or whatever and get some high temp synthetic brake grease, grease the sliders and back of the pads with it. a brake job should take about 3 hours for all 4 wheels taking it slow. someone with expericence can do the fronts in around 45 minutes.\ Edit: my super pro rear sway bar bushings came, woo!

Pads and rotors takes a bit more time than just pads. Changing the front pads takes less that 30 minutes, The rear takes more time because you have to use that screw to adjust the caliper.

the 1.8' cars have Better brakes, engines and differentials. The 1993 has alot of the chassis reinforcements found on 1994+, Interior wise the passenger gets an airbag, and more legroom (ECU goes behind the passenger seat) I would take a 94 or 95 over any other year NA's

The BP and B6 are not the same engine with bumped up displacement, the block is different. most things do not transfer over. 7-8 more whp and a better powerband = better. and yes 1995 cars are OBD-I

Savington posted:I want to know everything about this. How much, helical or clutch, availability, how long does it last if it's a clutch, 1.5 or 2, how's the lock-up, more biased towards drift/track or autocross, etc. How Much - $830 shipped is retail through touge factory with a 2L of kaaz oil (like 45$) i paid $730 in january during a group buy. Clutch Type - http://www.kaazusa.com/lsd.html Easy to get, Kaaz USA is based in orange county CA. it lasts a long while as long as you maintain it (oil change every 5k miles with non synthetic and a friction modifier, or if you have the money, kaaz oil which is 22$ per change. I use sta-lube GL5 75w90 with equitorque friction modifier) Lock up can be fine tuned by how much friction modifier you use, i run about 3.5 ounces of it in the diff, and its seamless, no chatter, no harsh engagement, just a little tire chatter doing tight uturns on the gas. If you want it to lock like god just welded your diff together just run straight gear oil with no modifier, but it will be hell making low speed turns. It's a 1.5 way and emilio said he liked the way my car felt, and I thourougly enjoy having it. I'll be at big willow on wednesday, and I'll report back how it felt on the track vs autox. If you want a 2way to be a madtite drifter or for maximum launch, you can get the maruha 2way from chikara.

its preventitive, the fluid comes out pretty dang clean. if you're doing an autocross of drift day and really beating on the diff, you want to change it afterwards.

I'm assuming you mean hawk brake pads? carbotech is the hot setup, but they arent cheap. 949racing carries them.

Ziploc, First thing I would do is bleed your brakes with a somewhat decent fluid (ATE super blue is a good value), and then if the problems persist, replace your pads with hawk HPS, you dont need too much pad if you're using ziex 512's

the godspeed one is supposed to be ok, but i havent seen it first hand. https://www.radiatorbarn.com has a good deal on an all metal one for like 130$ shipped. I personally have a 1" koyo OEM replacement i got through a friend for dirt cheap, and for a stock engine car it works great in 100* track use.

The green NB is a 99 US market car. thats a garage Vary front splitter. you dont need hubcentric wheels, its a waste of time, I've done 125 mph on the original 15x8 6ul's and they're just fine. and a bunch of track events riding the gators.
