Another YT video did this too. They upgraded the rear brakes to a Taurus so the rears increased in piston size to help keep the same f/r bias. Front upgrade alone moves the bias forwards.
@misplacedgarage
@misplacedgarage 26 күн бұрын
Yes this is correct! I have yet to do that but my understanding is once you upgrade the rears you must also upgrade the master cylinder as the mustang one doesn't move enough fluid.

I had that exact bike purchased new in 1973. My buddy bought the green model. Together we painted my Grandmothers house and used the earnings to buy them. I’m pretty sure they were somewhere around $700 each. What a blast that bike was. Had to let it go when I got married a few years later. Still in my dreams occasionally.

for the shifter location. i don't know miata gearboxes at all. but i see it does have a shift rail. on ford T9 gearbox swaps the shifter is also where yours is with the miata gearbox. but, on the T9 trans the shift rail can be shortened and the tail shaft cut to match and then rewelded back in place. if i'm not clear here you can google up ford T9 shortened shifter mod on google to see what i mean. it's a fairly straightforward modification on the T9... which on just a glance looks like it could be done your miata trans.

I'd be inclined to put in larger bolts for the seat belts. The ones I've seen in most cars are bigger than that. Just measured some spares of what went in the Miata, they were 3/8" diameter.

Those are rather large bolts probably around 3/8s. I also added a double nut and a very large washer of the bottom. Should be pretty “safe” ;)

It’s a major pain but do able. Unbolt most of the brake system. I actually have to do it again because the driver side started seeping some coolant and I don’t want to risk it. Don’t forget to plug the sensor back in behind the drivers head it’ll immobilize the car if you don’t.
