What have you done to your Miata today?
- Thread starter Antoine
- Start date
Got the VC painted...didnt come out exactly as i had hoped, my guess is the wrinkle paint needs to slow dry and putting it out in the sun lets it dry too fast and it doesnt wrinkle. Otherwise it looks a ton better to me. Just cant wait to get the ugly brown radiator out of there...the shiny three row all aluminum radiator will be here wed. Also ordered my VDO oil pres. sender today to get rid of the dummy gauge and make it a real oil pressure gauge.

are you unwinding the copper in the gauge yourself?

lol it isn't dampened, it won't move at all really. you need to unspool the copper then respool with ~half as much
just read that part of the write up...i am not going to unspool it i will be removing the dampning grease thats in there though. That combined with the correct resistors should make the gauge work as needed...the only reason for really re coiling the wires is to make the gauge more linear i just wont get as much of an accurate reading at the top of the PSI range...and honestly if i was THAT worried about it i would just put in a real gauge.

there is a shop that respools here for like a hundred bucks. when i find that as a priority i will be taking it to them. I love phoenix. dozens of miata only shops <3
