Last time I had problems with those little screws I just drilled the heads out and once the little plate was out of the way, just used a pair of pliers to get them out. Thanks for the video and not taking your mistake out of the video
Nice job guys ! That is sweat equity that was built up into that NB by changing the timing belt plus those other parts. I did my 1997 Integra GSR timing belt but it took me a week to round up all the parts I needed. That 200,000 mile NB looks really good. A V8 in that NB ? That would be a massive overhaul. If it were me I'd keep the original engine & tweak it a little for better performance.
Thanks! Adam has two other Miatas, a 2019 Club soft top, and the ~200 hp turbo car Flyin Miata built called Project Ron (which he bought about a 5 months after we started this video)... and his original intention was to mod this car similar to what Project Ron is like. But now he doesn't want to just create a Ron clone.
@@MiataChannel Looking forward to more of your videos with Adam ! A V8 project NB would be fun to see. I still remember when the RUclips channel Hoonigans stuffed a Hellcat engine into a older Miata ( NA - I think ). They were creating huge clouds of tire smoke were you could'nt even see the car ! I think even the Gas Monkey garage guy Richard Rawlings owned it for a while.
I don't want to tip my hand on some of our plans, but we have a few plans in the works that might surprise people. Don't know if people will be into it, but we shall see! This car (The Banana), Project Ron, and several others will be making appearances coming up.
I have a very small pop sound once per rotation that I think I hear when you're doing it as well. That's the test rotation after putting the timing belt on.
I'm not sure if I hear the pop you are talking about. I have listened to that section and all I can hear is me hitting the ratchet wrench on the sway bar.

Excellent! Thanks for posting…looking forward to more!
We shall see. RUclips seems to only like it when I do ND content.
Great info on this channel. Coming in helpful with my own NB mx5 over on channel 👍
Thank you! Since I am trying to prepare this car for track use, I've got a whole lot more NB content coming up!
