    painting the valve cover when u have to change the gasket was one of the most rewarding things I've done to the yata. It makes a big difference

    Great video! First thing you should do when you buy a leaking NA is the CAS. I've seen so many people on FB groups/forums say they're going to replace the rear main seal assuming that's the source of the leak before even checking the CAS. You probably saved several people hours and money with this video!

    After you replace the CV boots, start spraying that and other rubber bushings with 303 UV spray when doing maintenance or oil changes.

    While you're in that area you should have replace the cursed water plug under the CAS/Coil coz that oil leak from the CAS will cause that to crack and leaks

    Might be a dumb question but - Is a leaking CAS o ring enough to make the car sputter and stall, and eventually not start? Current situation with my 89 NA. All parts are new eg - fuel pump, filter, spark plugs, leads, o2 sensor etc. last thing I can think of is CAS sensor

    • @SpiritDriven
      @SpiritDriven  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! The oil drips onto the rear coolant temp sensor
      It was causing the car to shut off at idle when it would hit operating temp

    Gave a like, because this stuff looks hard. I don't have any experience with working on cars and I wouldn't mess my current daily driver (its a 2017 Chevy Cruze) like this since its my only car right now, but I thought about getting a 90s Miata as kind of a project car to learn to work on it (I would be keeping it as close to stock as possible with the exception of a real rollbar mod) do you think this would be a good car for a beginner like me to work on? I've been a machinist using a CNC machine and have had to replace fixtures and hoses before running parts at an areospace company that I used to work for and part of my job was also keeping that machine clean by removing all that gunk and oil, so I don't mind getting my hands dirty. Cars like this kind of remind me of old CNC machines from the 80s.
    I may have never owned a Miata but I have test driven a really run down one at a used dealership before, it was a 2000 NB but the asking price was too high for the condition it was in. I feel like if it was in decent shape when giving it a test drive I would have bought it, because these cars have so much potential even if its an automatic. I do need to learn to drive stick though to really understand the fun factor of this car. The pedal response is fantastic compared to my modern Chevy.
    But I've been obsessed with the Mazda Miata from the 90s since I was a kid in 1998 playing Gran Turismo.

    • @SpiritDriven
      @SpiritDriven  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If I can give any advice I feel like if you end up buying a Miata you’ll regret not getting the manual option later on down the line
      It’s much more engaging when you are forced to shift gears.
      As far as a good car to teach yourself how to wrench, it’s the perfect car because it’s so tiny nothing is in your way
      There’s a reason I bought 2 hahaha

      @@SpiritDriven Nice! If I could find a good deal on one that's cheap, doesn't have to be in super good condition but decent enough where it needs some work (NA desired the most but I may settle for the other models too) for a good price, I'm going to buy it, problem is they're really going up in price now.
      And yeah the one I test drove was automatic, on top of it not being as engaging, the transmission of that particular Miata was shot and had a broken radio antenna on top of stiff steering and a broken passenger window that didn't roll all the way down, and they wanted $8000 for it. This was a Silver 2000 Mazda Miata NB and it was poorly taken care of. If it was $1000, sure, but $8000 is too much. No accidents on the vehicle history report but it was a rough ride due to poor maintenance. I imagine this is not the case with the manual transmission version of the car where they are not shot, apparently the automatic transmissions have problems being reliable, but I can't fully confirm that.
      Bottom line I really need to learn stick, perhaps on some junker car first, because if I find a great NA Miata that's in great shape that's manual, I'd hate to grind the gears ruining the gearbox learning stick on that car.
