For those with experience driving / building a turbo NB, I'm considering what appears to be a very well built and cared for Flyin Miata 2 NB with low miles. The price is perfect but I have zero experience with a turbo miata.
With that in mind, pending a pre purchase inspection at a speciality shop for a clean go ahead, am I ridiculous for thinking I can deal with this? This would be a 2nd car but I do want to daily it intend for it to be used 75% of the time. From my research, a properly tuned NB turbo is very reliable and absolutely can be a daily driver but that's likely coming from the people who installed them themselves. Granted a FM2 seems pretty bolt-on so perhaps I'm giving the cro
This is my first time trying compound and polishing. I'm using Adam's swirl and haze remover (seems to be equivalent of ultimate compound) and fine machine polish on 7" pad using a Porter Cable. I used the swirl remover on an orange pad and for the polish used a white pad.
While it really cleaned up the old paint it didn't take out the swirls as I expected and think it should be able to. I know a smaller pad is generally recommended, should I try applying more pressure? More compound? I used 4 pea size drops on the pad, spread at 1.5 and ran at 5 for a good minute or two over a small area using only the weight of the polisher. Tried other areas with just polish first, or compound then pol
To cut to the chase, I expect to drive over my allowed mileage about 3-4 months early. No interest in purchasing the lease as it's just about under water with almost a year left to go.
Would you recommend I purchase a car and ground the lease 3-4 months early (once I reach my allowance) or keep driving at $0.25/mile over - expecting about $1k in overage fees? Looking at a new WRX or a 3-4 year old depreciated Accord. Based on the low depreciation of both options going forward, it seems an extra $1k towards either and 4k miles makes more sense than throwing $1k for over mileage on the lease.
Any opinions would be very appreciated!
EDIT: Should mention I lease a G37x at <$350/month, curr
Seems a lot of people prefer the AC FFB compared to other sims but with mostly playing iRacing, I really dislike the change in the 20% of time I spend in AC.
Does anyone have a recommended setting they use, ideally with a G27, that is similar to iRacing? I run the typical recommended iRacing FFB, 0% damper, proper min force, force to get 99% no clipping.
I think the largest difference I notice is that the FFB between low->high speed seems significantly different to me. I'm just not really sure which way to go, should I be reducing kerbs and increasing road? Open to any suggestions!
