IIRC they were supposed to be for a 2G Honda CRX, however after a bit of research they do not appear to fit that model.

Any creative ideas on how to identify these brackets and which car they fit? Also, do these look like pre-fabbed brackets from Corbeau or are these universal sliders with seat rails welded on? The welds aren't very pretty, leading me to think the latter.

Are these worth anything to anyone? Or should I just throw them in the trash?

Arduino UNO + Sparkfun/SKPang CAN shield + Adafruit OLED screen. I've seen people do similar - or attempt to - but never posted the code. And I had plenty of obstacles and learning the MCP2515 datasheet. And this is kinda sorta a prototype for whats going into my blank oil pressure gauge location ( https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8...127_025734.jpg ) But.. yeah.



Now onto populating the rest of the variables and figuring out the best way to attack the menu system, and making the var_offset/var_blk code less hackish. ]]> Miata Modifications iscariot http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?20964-Megasquirt-CAN-Bus-Arduino http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?20953-Finally-my-Miata-stops-decently&goto=newpost Sat, 15 Jun 2013 03:43:18 GMT I finally got around to installing the Hawk HP+ pads I got for the front brakes.

I must say that the difference in stopping power is like night and day from the OEM/OEM replacement pads I've used so far. The car finally feels like it has real brakes :clap:

I suspect I might experience more rotor wear and brake dust. So far I have not noticed excessive brake dust, but I've only driven a few hundred miles with these pads. However, I can definitely feel them bite into the rotors... I guess it might be the price to pay for effective brakes. ]]> Miata Modifications silver92b http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?20953-Finally-my-Miata-stops-decently http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?20950-Experience-with-h-amp-r-springs&goto=newpost Sat, 15 Jun 2013 00:46:09 GMT So my buddy has a white nb with agx shocks and h and r springs.

He wants to get his car low and slow and I'm more about function over form an like a nice ride height.

So he offered to trade my raceland coils for his agx shocks with h r springs. I'm almost positive I'm going to do it but I can't find any na's with h r springs to see where the ride height would be. I found one on clubroadster but people weren't sure if it was or not.

Basically, FM has designed a street friendly version of the Wilwood BBK for the rear brakes. Up until now, mounting Wilwood four piston calipers in the rear was a track car only thing, as there was no way to keep the stock parking brake. Now the kit is in final testing to allow mounting Wilwood calipers at the rear AND keep parking brake functional.

I'm personally going to swap the four piston Wilwood calipers onto the rear, using FM's new mounting bracket and upgrade my front caliper to six piston. The big advantage to running the Wilwood calipers are 1) they save 3-6 pounds of unsprung weight and 2) they have a huge pad selection to choose from and 3) changing brake pads is about as hard as putting bread in a toaster. Combined with two piece rotors from stock size 1.6 rotors all the way up to 11.75" and you can get fade free braking for your most aggressive mountain run, or track day. While the stock Miata brakes even on the 90-93 are more than adequate at stock power levels, those running SC, turbo charged or V8 Miata's would be wise to upgrade the brakes along with the suspension.

It's very cool to have a car that can accelerate to 60mph in 4 or 5 seconds, but I think it's even cooler to have one that can pull over 1g, or stop from 60mph in less than 120 ft. Or even better 100ft. ]]> Miata Modifications oldgrayfrog http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?20940-New-Brake-development-at-FM http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?20924-my-dream-come-true!!-(if-I-had-the-money)&goto=newpost Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:53:23 GMT http://lucky7racing.net/collections/engine/products/miata-13b-rotary-mount-kit I have dreamed of a rotary mx5 since the day I was born and finally... http://lucky7racing.net/collections/...tary-mount-kit
