MX-5 Miata
- NA, NB, now ND
Had a NA back in '99 but after my poor mk2.5 went to rust heaven a few weeks ago (the underside was a horror show) I've gone and got a 2017 ND RF and oh boy am I in love.
(Sorry to the NC's, I just didn't like the design)
- Back in the game
The reshelling of the mechanicals and suspension from my wrecked Eunos into the new body is completed.
Months of effort, skinned kuckles, dirty fingernails, swearing and way too much money are over.
Turbocharged and ready to party #mx5 #miata
- Sometimes you just have to lean into it.
Fellow too small to see car enthusiast from Apollo here! Glad to have a new place to go.
- Thoughts on a K24A4 swap?
I know KPowerIndustries has a K24A2 kit - I found a really cheap k24a4 junkyard engine for $200, 170k miles on it.
I want to keep it in my garage and take it apart and mess around several times as I've never worked with cars too much. It comes with a rebuild kit previous owner had gotten to busy to finish. I plan to either sell it or junk it since its mostly to learn - I'll probably look for a more popular 2.5 swap.
But hypothetically, if I wanted to swap a K24A4 odyssey engine, could I do it? I know the compression ratio is lower so might need some forced induction to go with it
- Results after working till 2am doing paint correction. How's it look?

> The color is "Blue Crystal Metallic" an option that was only offered for about a year, approx 3000 Miatas were sold with this color. I've never done paint polishing so I bought a kit from Amazon with a ton of Chemical Guys compounds and after a TON of watching YouTube tutorials I went to work.

If anyone has tips on how to properly transfer the title, bill of sale etc that would be really useful!
- Reddit refugee checking in
Been waiting for an MX5 / Miata community on here. So here's my first post on Lemmy with my 95 NA. It's a work in progress after crashing my previous one
- I want to respray my car next year and want it to really pop
Bing image creator was used to visualise a few colour combinations. This one is my favourite (and close to its current appearance). I can upload the other ones, if anyone is interested.
How do you upload multiple images on here, though?
