Hi Johan, in de wereld van Miata ben ik niet zo thuis maar wel leuk om te zien hoe je in nog geen jaar de 1000 abonnees status hebt bereikt en nu al zelfs bijna 20.000. Tijd voor nieuwe filmpjes met gewoon het delen van je autopassie. Jij en je broer hebben voldoende kennis en passie om content te blijven maken. Al is het maar van toer ritjes en bezoekjes aan meetings. Groetjes Jos 👋🍀

Hey! Ik hoor dat je nederlands bent, dus hopelijk kun je deze vraag beantwoorden haha. Ik heb net een 1.8 NA miata aangeschaft met 250K km (150k miles) op de teller.. geimporteerd uit amerika, maar bij het starten maakt het motorblok precies het zelfde geluid. Zelf heb ik twee NB's gehad en altijd 10w40 gebruikt. Als ik dit spul wat jij aanbeveeld erin stop en 50-100km ga rijden, kan dat geen kwaad? En daarna mijn olie ververs? Zijn het de zuigerveren die dan vies zijn of aan vervanging toenzijn? Graag hoor ik even meer😁 Groetjes, chris.
@MiataMods13 күн бұрын
Je zuigers hebben geen veren, jij bedoeld klepveren. Klepveren heeft de MX5 niet, de MX5 heeft hydraulische klepstoters, en die veroorzaken dit geluid. Als die inderdaad het geluid veroorzaken en je oliepeil is in ieder geval in orde, dan kan het zeker geen kwaad om 50 tot 100 km te gaan rijden met dit spul. Als het wat anders is wat het geluid veroorzaakt, zoals een krukas lager, dan is het beter om geen meter meer te rijden. Het is erg lastig om de diagnose te stellen wat precies het probleem is, maar als je al rondrijdt met de auto dan is de kans klein dat je krukas het probleem is. Probeer dan dit goedje, goeie lange rit rijden zodat de motor goed warm wordt, en dan de olie verversen. Succes!

You can tighten it until it's snug, but to be honest, if you're going to work on cars a lot of times you will need a torque wrench so I would suggest buying one

Really good, thanks, and helpfully including the socket sizes and torques, and the fact that the fill plug is a weird square. So many useless vids on here miss this. God knows why they made it like this (the diff has a 23mm and 24mm - WHY??). NB owners will find a second under tray will need to be removed first - a 10mm socket will be fine for this ;-)

Hello i just did a complete brake job, my rear brakes didn't have that "M clip", my brembo kit came with 2 for each caliper, i've put them on but after a little drive to test a bed the brakes it looks like i lost one and the other 3 came off...
@MiataMods16 күн бұрын
The M clip is not mandatory, but it keeps the pads from unintentionally hitting the brake disk. If you've inserted them correctly into the holes of the brake pads, there's no way they should come off

FYI, real easy to gain access to the back of the wire harness in order to plug it back in. Just take off the glove box, two screws at the bottom. I had to unplug it at the harness because the red wire came loose and had to solder it back on. The light on the driver side is easy to reach from under the dash so I took that one off too so I could clean it easier. Thanks for the tips on this and some of your other videos.
