    I appreciate the video,I have used the trombone method but with a water hose ,like a lot of people I struggled trying to find the hole in the beginning The water hose worked but due to the insert I struggled I then used this method as a little annoying as it is I managed to remove half the pipe however, I found that with a little wire I was able to clear the blockage I then flushed it with the water hose which cleaned it ,it took me an hour to do the job ,but I did not remove the full covering behind the seat It would have been a lot more helpful if you could have shown us a bit more from the beginning. Thanks for the ideas

But very happy with your gas mod. Makes a nice improvement.

    Hi mate, I've just ordered a set of Meister R zeta CRD coilovers for my mazda mx5 nc which has the frontal strut brace like yours. Can you clarify the front fitting as I'm slightly confused. I see that the extension cables look quite long, how do they fit underneath the strut top mount that you've drilled a hole through?

    • @dss199
      @dss199 4 месяца назад

      Hi, I assume you mean the rod extension and not the wire extension for the rears? If so I have taken them out for now as I need to re check how to get them to work correctly as they have been a bit of a pain if I am honest. Hasn’t bothered me until I decided to plan a track day and don’t fancy removing the brace for each adjustment. So thanks for giving me a nudge to contact Meister

Now i have my cobalt backbox on for about two months now while still on the stock header, there is a quite loud boomy sound between 1500-1800 rpm mostly on decelaration. Do you have this too and how do you think a manifold would affect this if i went through with this?

      I have heard others use other sprays but can’t comment or any after effects. The spray is designed to not damage the sensor. When I saw the same discussions on another thread. The consensus was that other sprays can be harmful. You can use the spray more than once. I do it yearly with each service.

Planning to get one in a coupla years time (preferable the NC2 or NC3) so the content in this video is very helpful in preparing myself for the ownership of this amazing car. First thing I'm gonna do to it would be to install a 2" lift kit and slapping on a set of bulbous 215/70 r15s A/T tires on all corners. And tackling the common issues on these older Miatas.

    @MrMazdaGuy Thank you for this video, i took my drains out and cleaned them and upon re-installing i found that they seem to leak in to the seat belt tensioner area (leak appears to be coming from above possibly from the point where the rubber black pipe connects to the drain box, assuming putting it back together as you have shows just by pushing it back on as flush as possible. Any idea what could be causing it to leak down into that area? also found my white plastic end part that exits out of the car, the seal is perished and causes water to drip down too inside the tensioner box, any help would be appreciated, thanks. Lloyd

      Hmmm, curious. I haven’t had this to my knowledge. I know there is a foam seal on the bottom piece. It might not be sealing well? I may have to investigate when I do some more work on my trim at some point

    • @dss199
      @dss199 9 месяцев назад

      Another thought, you could try a thin layer of silicone if this is the case. I believe it’s the same type seal as the windscreen grommets that fail?

    • @dss199
      @dss199 7 месяцев назад

      Hey. I have been informed that the seal around the base of the roof and the chassis under the window can be a leak source that runs down into the back of the footwell. Also there is a tank above the drain hose that can clog. Just thought I would update you on what I have found incase you have the same problem.

    Maybe I should do this too. I usually use Air pressure to clean it, but I think one of the tubes could have become loose because of it...

      sadly not, they are sport welded on and trying to pry them distorts the metal

    • @CoryBan777
      @CoryBan777 11 месяцев назад

      Before I saw this I went ahead and tried my hand at removing them. It was annoyingly difficult but I was able to do so without distorting the muffler tips. The trick i found was A. Use jack stands to minimize movement of the muffler via the rubber in the hanger mounts B. Wear some mechanics gloves, grab channel locks with long handles, some standard tin snips, and get to cutting/ ripping. The spot welds break without too much wiggling after you isolate the front bottom pair, rear bottom single, and front top pair(s). @@dss199

    Thanks for this, checked this today, mine was pretty clean (on a 76k mile car) so has either been done previously or the air cleaner has been doing a good job so I'm not expecting night/day difference but it's any easy/cheap/quick bit of preventative maintenance.

    • @dss199
      @dss199 Год назад

      The cobalt will raise the sound without being too loud, as long as you haven’t modified the rest of the exhaust. The BBR Is more expensive but a nicer sound in my opinion. As long as the rest of the system is standard. Otherwise volume becomes an issue

    Just seen this today June 11th 2023. Like you I took out the drain tubes to clean. I found very little on this but was motivated by the fact i kept getting water in the cabin. Well that and the fact my good lady decided to push a trombone down them and the noise inside the cabin was bad. As you say its relatively easy. I also found that the rubber seals were stiff and wouldnt seal properly. I inverted the seals and fix to problem. Thanks for showing this video
