Notta Miata - New Car Day!!!
So I've been keeping a secret for quite a long time now. I just bought a new car! It's NOT another Miata, so you'll see it on the channel, but my Miata is still the main focus for this channel.
However, if you want to learn more about the new car, it has it's own channel now too!

    For the straps, is the stud you put them on dependent on the chassis, or the frame? Like if you're putting a top on an NA car, but using an NB frame, do you use studs 4+10, or studs 3+11?

I bought that and put the gasket on my repainted trim piece. But now when i screw the trim piece back in, the gasket and trim dont hug the window. There are gaps. Can you please tell me what am i doing wrong? Thanks

    I am pretty sure that this is the problem with my NA. The window does not lower completely and always sits crooked in the rails. It slopes down towards the back. And it's very stiff. I've tried everything to adjust the rails, but it's always crooked The bearings are there, but possibly deformed and this causes it to be crooked. I'll order the bearings and replace them. I'm curious but that's the last thing I can think of

    That brackets tab for the cas is to keep the bolt holding the cas in place. In case it backs out, it won't back out far and still kinda do itd job prolly grt you home. Its a indicatiok of s bygone era where stuff was designed to not break down. And car manufacturers actually had consideration for the customer.

    This vid is really helpful, thanks. Just cleaned the jet area out with wire and a load of gunk and water came out, as with yours. Will also need the new part like you did as it is missing this. Unfortunately still no water spraying out - I can hear the pump working so I guess it must be a hose problem somewhere along the system, so need to look into that now.

    Thanks for the xenon video. I can understand what you're saying first off. Funny how my 08 sidewalk conv. is alot like your wife's, like headlights in bonnet. That being said for those that don't know not all 08 models are the same like the struts are different. Give that vin# and tell the parts guy the base model mini is different than the base model convertible. I had a shop rip me off $600 in parts because he didnt know the difference from a Phillips or a flat head screw driver!Had to sue him and he left town in his flambo as fast as he could peddle. He was a hanging Chad! ❤Notta Miata, more Mini please! Thanks Ultramini.

    Useful video. My ‘96 started to not disengage the clutch. No leaks so assumed the master cylinder. I swapped the “slave” cylinder at the same time even though I only have 40k miles on the car. This was a helpful video. Definitely worth getting the proper line wrench for the cables. You will need both deep and shallow sockets to do this job. Bleeding went better than I expected.
