How WHEEL/TIRE sizes Affect Comfort, Feel & Performance - 4K - FM Live w Keith Tanner 4-11-24
I like to use Koni shocks for my 2003 E-450 Super Duty V10 with Aluminium box Truck 16 feets long. Inside is an office for telecom business. there is computers etc. I want something can handle heavy truck but also firm and confortable ride that do not feel too much the bump. i use air-ligt air bags in the back to make it better handling and bilstein 5100 streering damper. what do you suggest please?
I have a question, can it still be fixed if the timing belt got lose because of the bolt of hydraulic thing got broken, do i have to replace the whole engine?
is Mazda not using any screws 😂😅? I am quite surprised that you just needed the 10 nut at the passenger side cockpit
Now that the FM clutch parts are out of stock for a long time, how do I get a clutch disc for my NB level 1 clutch to replace my exploded disc? One of the springs exploded out of the housing. What other clutch discs are an exact replacement for the PM Comp Clutch disc? It seems like the PM disc is thicker than other discs, maybe? Are there more durable discs out there? I know of another person that has had their FM clutch disc explode like this. I know that this is not a recent video, but I can hope that my comment is seen..... The FM person that answers the phone had no idea what I should do, and no information. Help.
Sorry for the delays! Our clutch kit is built around stock sized 1.8 clutch components, so any 1.8 disc should work with our flywheel and pressure plate - with that being said, I'm afraid we don't have one to recommend. If you're comfortable with waiting for ours to restock, you can sign up to be notified when they come back by clicking the "Notify when available" button on the product listing.
Is lubricating the joints on your NA soft top advisable? If so should it be all of them, or just some? Also what lubricant should be used? If not I have seen it shown that the top can be "easily" pulled up from the driver's seat. So why isn't mine when it is quite easy from outside the car? (Being out of shape and better leverage aside.)
Spent $20K to get 5 extra horsepower… ask me how… 👍🤣
We've found it's best to not keep track of the dollar amount 😆
@@FlyinMiataVideo especially when u test the turbo on track… the Mrs is watching… & it goes up in flames on the main straight!!! 👊💥🤣💰
My clutch doesn't slip but when it's warmed up it shudders from a stop. My mechanic is sure it's the clutch because if it's the transmission it would do it cold too. The engine was just built by the previous owner with forged internals and a fresh clutch. Maybe he didn't replace the flywheel and it has hot spots? It's totally driveable when cold and on the open road but uphill in traffic is a pain. Any chance it's the clutch adjustment?
Any plans for doing this in titanium for a weight savings version? I'd be willing to pay the premium and I'm sure others would as well.
As much as we'd love to have titanium exhausts, it's very unlikely we'll release one for cost reasons.
Would this be the same procedure for a Fiat Spider 124 Abarth?
"They keep the pavement off your head" I do enjoy Keith's dry humor in these videos. These videos make me love my Miata just a little bit more. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
Can you fine adjust the heights of each corner on one hub stand? In order to make it perfectly level. I don't like zeroing out the angle gauge cause it could be somewhat inaccurate.
You want to make sure the surface the hub stands are sitting on are level. Squares of linoleum make good shims if you have to raise a corner to make everything level. The stands themselves are not adjustable for height, because that introduces error.
how do you know if the steering wheel is as far back as it should be before you tighten the nut ?
It'll pull forward as you tighten the nut if it's not fully seated. Just pushing the wheel on should be enough.
@@FlyinMiataVideo Thanks for the response....the steering wheel appeared to be about 1/4 not all the way seated, once I tightened the nut to 36 FPs it seemed to flush nicely. Thanks again....!
@@kavalere You are welcome and we're glad to hear you got the wheel pulled on all the way!
@@FlyinMiataVideo So the wheel is is a couple degrees off center. I used the blue tape to line things up, but it's definitely off center. I've seen some other posts that an alignment might be necessary, but I would thing I need to reset it to center? Thoughts?
Great video I have installed the acc and roof controller today the only thing I have an issue with is when using the fob to put the roof up the windows don’t go back up the 1-2inch they drop this is normal ? Thanks for the help
@samanthajohnson-doel5194 It will be easier for us to assist you with this if you can contact our Support Team directly - you can email them at support@flyinmiata.com, or call in at 970 464 5600. We look forward to hearing from you!
Is there a mile per hour which makes sense to turn off your radiator fans and let natural air flow do its thing ?
@DarkDMD Incoming airflow will eventually outflow the airflow the cooling fans can pull, yes! However the speed at which this occurs will vary depending on the car, fan/shroud design, bumper style, etc. This is why our Airflow kits have those little rubber flaps in the shroud; when incoming air has enough velocity, it will force those flaps to open.
How much does the FM bar weigh? I don't see it listed in the product description.
Should be right around 8 pounds shipped. Take off a couple tenths for the packing material, so actual installed weight is around 7ish pounds.
Just got myself an 04 S.E (Aussie Mazdaspeed) & very much looking forward to some fun. New sub.
Congratulations! Feel free to chat with us if you ever have any questions.
This is a 12 hour drive for me from San Diego. Might have to go next year, give my Miata the road trip stress test
We have heaps of people that come from your neck of the woods. Checkout the San Diego Miata club to see if you can tag along!
Does the installation of the hood struts require drilling mounting holes? At my age and with my physical limitations, I'm forced to pay for most labor on the car.
For the NAs and NBs, you will need to drill and tap the hood hinges to mount one of the ball studs. For a competent shop, this should be a 45 minute - hour install.
Its not a NA
The NA portion of the video starts around 15:15
Hi! Should i replace the thermosthat and the filler cap while changing the cooler?
If you have everything apart and the cooling system drained, you may as well replace other maintenance items like your thermostat and radiator cap.
Ordered already. Also thermostat switch to fan. Thanks for your videos and effort. You are a blessing for the miata community All over the World.
@@tjarkworthmann105 Thank you for the kind words - we really appreciate you watching our videos!
thanks for the video!! i had a very easy time installing the wheel. as others mentioned, i started with the back side of the wheel to remove the black trim first. btw cipher wheels are THICK around 3' & 9' positions.. like 2" thick. It's awesome and makes the whole car feel rigid as the wheel doesn't feel thin and flimsy like the OEM. I got the carbon fiber version which is just pure eye candy. Worth it in my opinion given that the steering wheel is the most used part of the car.
Thanks for watching!
I drive an 06 with upgraded internals and a tune with an upgraded cross flow Aluminum radiator and new stock fan so generating more heat than stock under load as still naturally aspirated. I have the Banks I-Dash gauge that will display the " real " temp of the coolant rather than the gauge that has been fuddled with like the oil pressure gauge. My question is, at what temperature does the gauge register too much heat and start moving up? In slow traffic or sitting idling, I can see the temp rise from 190 to as high as 227 so far. The gauge does not move so I am assuming that this is still considered in the "normal range". Without pressure, ( +1lb = +3 degrees ) this is already the general boiling point of the coolant so what temperature should I be worried about to not cause damage? I would like to monitor this as proactively as possible and just not let it get to the " too high" point. I may need to seal the edges around the new fan and the radiator to better contain the air flow and see how it affects this but I keep a close eye on it.
We like to see temps stay below the 230 degrees F (110 C) mark to avoid damage, however the stock gauge doesn't start moving until about 240 degrees F (114 C). Sealing your fan to the radiator is always a good idea. You might also try a higher distilled water to coolant ratio, since water dissipates heat better than anti-freeze coolant. We generally stick with a 70/30 mixture, which should have freeze protection down to about 0 degrees F.
Would the radiator from a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata fit onto a 2003 Miata and run properly ?
I forgot to add , it’s also a manual transmission
@@austinpatten1765 Yeah, that should be fine.
Fantastic
Is the 2006 Miata reliable? I see them much cheaper than the NC2 Miatas-pretty much the same price as a NB.
Ultimately, yes: The 2006-2008 "NC1" Miatas are still great, reliable cars. Our main best guesses for the lower prices are: 1. They're simply older cars 2. The aesthetics aren't as popular as the later versions 3. The engines on all NC1 Miatas didn't come with forged internals, which means a lower red line and potentially slightly less reliable if you're planning on throwing gobs of boost at it (although, if you keep this conservative, even the NC1 engines should be fine.) If you see an NC1 for a good price and in otherwise good shape, I say go for it.
Thanks. I’m kind of cross shopping the NC1 and an NB. NB is really fun. I am in the minority but think I like the front fascia of the NC1 over the NC2-but it’s splitting hairs. Both are great. The Miata really is a car where there isn’t a bad looking one. I’m hoping as we enter September I may find a great deal. Thanks so much for your input.
@@treeskier802 You are welcome! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - if you don't mind the looks of the NC1s, you'll likely have an easier time finding a deal on an NC than an NB.
For the cross flow Rad. Is the fan a similar wattage? I have read about folks replacing fans for stronger ones and it ends up causing alternator issues so would the cross flow need a beefier alternator? Would you recommend just stock fans for an Al drop in?
The big spal fans have caused me all kinds of problems trying to tune around the massive voltage drop when they kick in, but it's not the cross flow rad, it's an electrical issue. I really wish FM would address this issue, maybe a two step fan controller or something?
All of our fan kits will pull more amps than the stock fans at some point. Our Stage 2 brushless fan kit has a soft start feature to reduce the initial shock (pun intended) on the electrical stuff. On an otherwise good condition stock charging system, good battery, and proper installation per our instructions, your NA or NB Miata should handle this fine. @joejoepop It sounds like something else may be going on. Please contact our customer support department for some troubleshooting tips.
will a sway bar work the same on a monicarlo chassis dirt renagade if the track becomes rough, holes tacky, vrs dry smooth slick?
It will work the same way, but you may want to run a softer (or no) sway bar for that sort of track. It's a little outside our area of expertise!
I am interested in replacing the original muffler with twin exhaust tips on my 2024 MX5 MIATA RF GT with a muffler with sport quad exhaust tips like Ulter. Is there a domestic company that produces such a muffler with quad exhaust tips? The ULTER Sport Quad Tip Exhaust Muffler is available online, but from a overseas company. I would rather deal with a domestic company.
We're not sure. You might look at doing something custom if you're set on the quad exhaust on your car and you don't want to pay overseas shipping.
Do you guys ship to Europe?
We sure do! Some countries have some exceptions though and the order has to be over $200 or so. If you put the items you want in your shopping cart, move to the shipping page and we should give you a shipping quote for them.
I drive a '93 NA, bought it new. Bought it in southern California, lived in Michigan with it and Colorado. Year round daily driver, but only just under 200k miles on it. Still on the original radiator, it works flawlessly, only times the temperature went up was when an oil leak caused a coolant hose to fail, and when the electric fans failed. Have replaced the AC fan once, and the main fan twice.
All that being said, I don't track the car, and I don't tow anything with it, so have never had a need for more cooling. When the radiator does fail, I will look into the options then, but 31 years now with zero issues with the radiator. The color of the plastic is still a nice black, no signs of leakage.
That's impressive! Again, it's good to replace it on your schedule, instead of it's schedule. Color changing tanks are the first sign to look for.
@@FlyinMiataVideo Yep, updated my comment as the color of the plastic is a nice black still, and no signs of leakage on it.
Bov before or after IACV ?
You'll want the BOV piped to the intake piping and before the TB.
Yes the bov before the tb. What about the IACV. Should I plumb it before or after the bov.
@@mizunor3296 We might be misunderstanding your question. The Idle valve on the Miata is either attached to or a part of the throttle body, depending on what year you're working with. Are you talking about your boost reference line?
@@FlyinMiataVideo normally the IACV is attached to the intake manifold and the hose to pre TB. My question is, that hose pre TB, should it be before or after the BOV inline.
@@mizunor3296 Thanks for clarifying. The placement of the BOV in relation to your IACV doesn't matter.
What thermostat should I get on my completely stock 1994 Miata? I feel like I do run into some heating issues
You can run a 180 degree thermostat and still have a functioning heater in the winter but I wouldn't go any cooler than that. First off, I'd check the basics like how dirty is the radiator core, and make sure you have your splash pan on. Shoot us an email if you want more details.
What can be done to isolate the footwells from so much interior heat from the engine compartment?
Our DEI insulation kit and DEI shield are both excellent options to remedy this issue: flyinmiata.com/products/dei-titanium-heat-shield?_pos=1&_sid=4125fdaa5&_ss=r flyinmiata.com/products/dei-na-nb-insulation-kit?_pos=2&_sid=4125fdaa5&_ss=r
Italia body kit is so nice. Saw a build of one with a mustang engine swap on the monster garage show
Agreed! Even better with V8 power.
Looks like 100% of the people you interviewed are white.
Two questions: 1. I was considering LED taillights for my NB2 Miata, but was wondering if doing so would have a negative effect on my cruise control, since the LED taillight reacts faster than an analog one and the brake light circuit is what, as I understand it, cancels the cruise control. 2. I purchased LED side lights (the ones on the fenders) for my NB2, but the stock side lights in the rear are just reflectors. Which taillight wire should be tapped into to power the rear side lights?
To answer your first question, having LED lights in the two rear fender assembles won't cause an issue but if you replace the third brake light with an LED it will. So, that's when you'd need to run a resistor-type LED in the third brake light. Keep in mind, I'm always referencing parts that we sell so, results might be different with brand X. For your second question, you'll need to reference a wiring diagram or just find the wires that go to the parking light circuit and splice into them. You should be able to find a 194 bulb base to fit the corner lights at your local auto parts store.
Great great video! Very honest from someone selling car mods, big credit to FM!! Engineering a car like the Miata is extremely complex and Mazda knows how to get the right balance like no one, or the Miata wouldn't be around anymore, certainly not after 35 years. For the street, for the fun, out of the box these are truly wonderful. Trying to improve them for the street on your own or by watching RUclips, the odds of getting it worse are at least 80%. So listen to people who are experienced and think twice before you pull the trigger !
Sure glad I was able to grab the liitle dot and scroll ahead.
So great to meet you guys in person. Please tell me you didn’t pull the car trailers up the Dragon!?
Of course not! The trailers have to come in from the south east. It’s not exactly a straight road, but it’s better.
I sold the Miata, but if you are allowing a Porsche on the ride then I am going to have to go next year in the RX-7. At least it is still family.
As long as you bring a disguise 😉
Is there a cost to join the summer camp?
Depends on what you do. There is a cost for the track days and another if you want to partake in the meals. If you just want to hang out and talk and look at stuff, no charge!
Yes, it was $79 this year before options. The base cost covers the food also. Keep checking FM's website starting in Feb/Mar 2025 for info on the 2025 event.
@@romad357 2025 dates have been released! June 11-15.
Man I really like those 2013-14 clubs. It’s really what I want. But I found a deal on an 09 sport 5 speed. Can you the turbo on the 5 speed? You guys are great. I hope to use some of your products once I get a car. I just need to grit the teeth and spend the money. It sucks being frugal and wanting a sports car. Haha. Thanks for another great video.
We appreciate the kind words! Yes, the turbo will still be compatible with a 5-speed.
