Cobra painting bumpers black and steering wheel refurb
Isnit easy to fit air con into an NC that doesnt have it already?
Where is your flail mower made at? Would you buy it again? Did you get too aggressive with it leading to its destruction?
Just ordered a pair for my Cobra. Thanks for posting this video!
Your "ring tailed cats" are grey foxes. And shooting peoples dogs will get you shot back.
Read this - tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/rtail/#:~:text=The%20Ringtail%20is%20a%20cat,day%20sleeping%20in%20their%20dens.
Is there any of the wildlife that you don’t complain about?? Move back to the city!
Are you anywhere close to Southern Mid Tennessee? I love hunting coyotes!
You need some donkeys.
How did it destroy itself? Did it bend the rotor that holds the hammer blades or something like that? That sucks, sorry for the bad luck. It looked like it was really well built. Did you buy another flail mower?
Whatever anybody does, do NOT buy the cheapo EPDM weather stripping. It's far too dense, and the corners are made of solid rubber which cannot compress. You won't be able to close anything after installing, and is a complete waste of money. YES, OEM latex weather stripping is very expensive (~750 for a complete set as of 2024), but it's the only option. Pretty sure you're using EPDM here, because there's no way you need to fight this stuff this hard.
adorable little cat!
What a cute and squishy kitty! 💋💋💋💋💋
Hello, was wondering if you could answer some questions about a car you owned? I messaged you but not sure if you saw that.
Send me an email - flatpossum1231@yahoo.com
Can’t remember if your spread there is 10 or 20 acres although it looks like enough someone might cut the hay off of it for you for free.
Yeah, but I don't want them taking away my precious wildflower seed! I got this mower to help me spread that seed where it needs to be... This place used to be a hay field and had ZERO wildflowers. After carefully nurturing the wildflower population we now have a CARPET of wildflowers in the spring and one heck of a variety of butterflies, bugs and various pollinators visiting.
@@possumfarms Ah, I get it. That’s pretty smart, I never thought about that. It didn’t occur to me when you were talking about the new flowers with Henry.
Virtually no idea what you did. Awful camera angle
Great tutorial ,your my kind of mechanic .i have the same car just in red .I was wondering if you could give me the exact part # and brand of gasket to marry up the new exhaust ,Thanks
Thanks for this video it was a lot of help. Know I have to order a feeler gauge
Hi again, I posted a comment 5 months ago mentioning that the website you bought your exhaust from no longer carried the OBX axel back system. I recently found it listed in eBay and after delivery on Memorial Day Weekend, I installed the unit on my NC. I just drove my car normally for the week to let it sort of break in. Every Saturday morning I drive up and down my local mountain road. Today was no different, this is roughly 30 miles of manual shifting with average engine speeds of 4K. It appears that the muffler gets louder over time. What you hear on a cold start after the initial install is different in a week. I heard from others that it gets louder after a few months. Since you installed this axel back a long time ago, have you experienced this change? When you finally do get your headers and mid pipe I can imagine how much louder it’s going to be. I think for me it’s loud enough. BTW, this Miata is a dude magnet. I’ve had do many young guys talking to me about the Miata and my mods. When my wife drives it she really gets a lot of attention.
Turn clutch disc
Do you still have the OEM Catted headers? or have you changed the headers as well? I have catless headers and im worried this may be too loud when combined with catless headers.
Everything else is BONE STOCK and I haven't changed anything in that regard. The HP gains are minimal at best...
@possumfarms thanks for the reply! I ended up getting this same exhaust, paired with a Goodwin racing 1.8" max power catless header and the Stock midpipe. The drone at 2400-3000 RPM is bad especially on decel, but butt dyno feels like I picked up another 3-5 HP up top in RPMs compared to stock muffler with the header and tune already installed 👍 It's a smidgen too loud for my taste but it was cheap, I'll probably get the Cobalt Muffler in the future to quiet it down some more
Penelope was a good investment. Chupra,not so much! A lot of guys put too big a carburetor on these small block motors.
I agree - bout 600-650 cfm is all this small block needs...
Hello, which size where the bolts?
I found some that "fit" the holes... Sorry I can't be more help there...
@@possumfarms No problem, man. I got it figured at my local hardware store. Some regular bolts did the job!
If it doesn't have the Ford 427 it ain't a Cobra . Putting a Chevy engine in one is Blasphemy 😢
Yeah, whatever... I have parts on the shelf form my racing days and I can tear it down damn near blindfolded... It's a cruiser not a racer. And BTW, how many cobras are in your garage/barn?
Why not cut the old muffler hanger off?
because I didn't need to!
Might be a long shot, but question....What size battery does the MC take? I have one my grandpa n I are trying to rebuild, and I can't find much online about what battery it takes....
The original is a 6v battery... size? I dunno... Sorry...
this is so wholesome.
The first thing I always do is make sure the brakes are good....if not, figure out why and fix it. Go from there.
I am guessing you sort of glossed over the video title of the FIRST shake down run?
@@possumfarms ,.....nope....
No need to hurry on fixing the stereo, you won't be able to hear it with no roof and those side pipes! I can't believe you got a sticker without putting the car on a lift or checking to see if the emergency brake works.
"promosm"
Thank you for this video. I have an NC 2007 in the UK. I'm trying to find out what type of lifters it has, are they hydraulic (and don't need adjustment), shim or buckets?? I can't find any information. It's the 2ltr engine. Any help would be most appreciated.
mine is hydraulic... I think... :)
After watching these two putting together the scaffolding can I return mine immediately?
What OBX part number did you use?
I bought it on eBay from "Racingpartsdepot" listed as "OBX Axleback Exhaust for 2006-2013 Mazda Miata NC MX5" for $441.99. Racingpartsdepot is no longer a valid eBay user and the item is no longer listed from them, so I don't have a part number, sorry.
Thanks for your response. I can't find the OBX like yours anywhere and OBX won't answer the phone or reply to an email, so they must be out of business. I like the way yours looks & sounds. I found another brand called Piper Exhaust but it's in the UK, it has no silencers, so I reckon I'll have to order that one.
It sounds great!! What is the part number you used for the OBX exhaust?

Hey bro there is another version of this exhaust by OBX online
What happend to the little John deere dozer!
It is still sitting outside of the barn, in pieces... I got distracted and haven't gone back to it.
I got to do this job. This video helped me see what I'm getting into. Thanks
Glad I could help
Can you use the same oil as in the transmission to lubricate the shifter? Thank you.
I did... I don't know what other people do - but I did. It doesn't take much! Just a good splash to fill the little ball socket. Thanks for your comments!
Wish you showed where the lines went on the fuel pump, I just bought this one used and I think the lines are not connected correctly.
Yeah, I could have done a better job o that video... Better luck next time! :)
There should be a follow up video about what was right with the car however it’s going to be short. Nightmare!!!
Good idea... I'll have to think about that... :) And I don't see it as a nightmare - just correcting previous owners mistakes and abuse... It's got over 20,000 miles on it. And ridden hard. When I finish it (are project cars ever finished?!?) it should be a nice, reliable toy! :) I'm not there yet... Thanks for your comments!
Are you sure you don’t live in that world? I see plenty of critters running around in these videos. Recently I went back to the rural area where I am from. All of the natural wonders were there but whatever prosperity was left was quite meager. Unfortunately leaving it behind was probably for the best.
That video was a compilation of over 40 years of our lives... We live in a world that I was seemingly not brought up for now. You can never foretell your future, but you can try... I went back to where I grew up and EVERYTHING has changed! Fields I used to go hunting in and riding motorcycles in are all now "insta-neighborhoods" with strip centers, gas stations and lots and lots of tract homes... It was depressing. It makes me glad I dragged my family out in the boondocks and built a farm on what used to be nothing more than a hay field. It's "The retirement farmlet in the middle of nowhere". :)
The title of this video should have been, Welcome to my nightmare! The guy who built this car was a hack. You must-have won the lottery to pay for this mess.
I don't fault the original builder all that much... A father and son team that were NOT mechanics... Much like many Cobra builds. I blame the owners after him that abused it and didn't pay attention to things that should have been sorted. The car has over 20,000 miles on it. Plenty of time to fix all sorts of little problems. I KNEW this needed some love - which is why I took it on. Part of my hobby is fixing up old cars that need some love - this car needed some love! :)
I can't get over how flat and smooth your roads are. I know you just sped up the video at the end!
Most of the roads out here are relatively smooth, but not all of them! :) Thanks for your comments!
🙃 *promosm*
Why couldn't you drive Chupa there? Penelope is feeling lonely being left in her stall!
Alignment, brakes, leaks, etc... Better to have my wrecker guy move it so I don't have to fiddle with my trailer in my mechanics tight parking lot! :)
I had to tie down my button because no matter how long i hold it when i try to let it go the heater cuts off
That sounds like a problem with the "thermocouple". When the thermocouple gets hot it will keep the valve open. I have to hold the button down until the top gets glowing red hot - and then release. AFTER the thermocouple gets good and hot. Thanks for your comments!
Got the same coil over set, will be installing in the hopefully near future. I wish some one did a review on these shocks, they are fairly affordable but not much info is available on them
After driving around on these for a few weeks, I figured why they are so "affordable"... It rode like a buckboard and damn near rattled the fillings out of my teeth! On the advice of my mechanic - who is a Miata nut - I put a set of Koni adjustable shocks with the stock springs on the car and WOW what a difference! I LOVE my Koni's! These things ended up being Chinese Trash... I sold them to someone else, dirt cheap and he BROKE them in less than a month! DO yourself and your spine a favor and go get a set of Koni adjustable shocks... Thanks for your comments!
What if I want to go the opposite route? Is it possible to make the NC sound like a Mazda 3 or similar models? I'm not concerned about any drop in horsepower. Just like quiet sounding engines.
Then I would go and make friends with your local muffler shop. Preferably one that has been around a good long while with an old coot as the owner. And express your concerns. The old guy has probably seen it all... And has a few tricks up his sleeve. Thanks for your comments!
@@possumfarms Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated
Good work as usual
Appreciate that
Is that a rake bucket of some kind? I have never seen one before. Would you happen to know if they made it themselves? Incidentally that’s a a testament to the job you did on the pond build that they can get that close to the edge with the excavator without leaving huge ruts. I definitely haven’t had the same luck.
Yeah, it was some sort of fabricated special bucket that worked great! Thanks for your comment!
Aww…love seeing you
We haven't caught up in a while... We need to do that! :)
@@possumfarms agreed!! I need to see you and the mrs!!
Thanks my brother, so helpful. You are a rocker!!!
Happy to help!
Look into a magnetic starter. It’ll keep your motors from frying
Thanks for the tip!
