So the shop eyeballed the master cylinder this morning, and said it had some seeping around it. Possible it could be the cause, but should probably be changed regardless. Hard thing for me is deciding how to go about the replacement part. I see a lot of listings for the cylinder, but with no...
I’ll definitely see about removing the pedal. I’ll double check how they bled the system. I know they tried to hunt down manufacturer spec on how to bleed it once they realized it was causing problems, but not sure if it turned out to be that same process or not.
Before it went in, it wasn’t a...
So just a further update:
Got the car in a shop and swapped to a Luk/Fidanza combo. Shop got everything installed, and I’m still in the same spot. Figured it was a throw out bearing, or pressure plate catching in the system, but apparently it wasn’t.
They bench tested the slave and it came out...
Checked the slave cylinder out today. Only checked it with the car off because I already removed my battery box, but I’m assuming it shouldn’t have any affect on the results. Aside from a one time clutch catching, the slave still seems to move without any hang ups(including that initial catch)...
Fair suggestion. I’ll definitely give it a go. The only thing that leads me straight to transmission is that the car will go in all the other gears. But I’ll see if my wife will be willing to give me a hand on it. I appreciate it! Will follow up on an update soon.
Well ladies and gentlethugs, I come bearing the bad news. I believe my clutch/something transmission related has finally given up on me.
As a preface, my pressure plate has been relatively unpressured for about the last year. As soon as I got bigger tires put on the car, I tried to give it a...
On my personal platform I’m running a CST4 with a jbr 3 inch intake. It fits decent, and I didn’t have to minimize battery size, although it is bracketed a little wonky. Still runs and drives fine though. Lol.
I am running a front mount also, so I’m not sure if a top mount will cut down the...
Hey guys, I’m hoping I have this in the right sections, if not feel free to move it if needed.
I was perusing the ol Facebook today and saw a post in one of the Mazdaspeed groups I’m in. A group called Unsupported Performance just dropped their first series bumper mounted front splitter, side...
I know this is old, but thank you for this. Was always a little put off doing this to previous cars because I thought it would be more complicated.
I will say... I never want to do this again on this car. Lol. This is probably the most irritating compressor placement ever. But at least the...
Dig it. Thank you for all the information. I totally understand the preference as well, especially seeing your perspective with use on ATR vs TS.
Megasquirt will definitely be in the future for me. I currently have 2 NA Miatas, but I want to get one running right to sell. I ended up buying a...
That’s what I imagined the purpose of the course is. Although I have the mindset that it should only be suggested, rather than be mandatory. I understand the liability case, but I don’t believe they should take responsibility for what someone personally does to their ecu. But I also understand...
Might be a good plan. They definitely have good customer service, so it might be possible. The only thing I could see them going for was if I bought my AP prior to the switch, but I got my AP in 2020, so I find that it might be slim chances. Not quite impossible, but at this point I think I’d be...
That’s fair. Not that intend to go PI anytime soon, but it is something I plan on doing at some point. So if AP is easier to work with, then I’ll give it a shot. Does anyone have any insight on the course they make you do prior to downloading the tuning software?
It seems credible, so that may...
I’m definitely aiming for MS3 minimum of not pro for my na. I feel like it’s a decent way to get started understanding things, the problem is, I just don’t know where to start I’m trying to learn. I have an issue in wanting to know everything known to man in relation to tuning. Lol. I’m just not...
Negative. I wish I could be, but at the time of trying to figure out AP tuning to double check a map I was sent for my map sensor values, I didn’t feel like paying the 200 or what have you for the certification they make you get to download the software.
Since that point I’ve debated swapping...
