    Default Hi Guys

    I'm new to miata ownership ive had mine for about 2 weeks paid 2700 for it and just did some basic maintenance changed oils/plugs/wires.Engine seems to run well. I have gone to a few auto-x with NTAXS with my silver sentra usually number 815 if anyone has seen/remembers me. It is a bit of a fixer upper there are a few things i need to get fixed. I got an alignment and looks like i have a bent subframe so if any one has any tips or advice that would be great. Already enjoy driving it even though it has a few problems.

    Entire miata subframes can be had pretty cheap at salvage yards. Its a very good car for the DIY mechanic. Welcome to the zoom zoom side, you'll soon forget the Sentra! :) see you at the next NTAXS.

    Picked up a sub frame for 50 I think from like a 95or maybe older. Having some trouble getting it to bolt onto the car. Going to try lifting all corners to see if it helps if it doesn't I don't know what I'm going to do lol. I put the old one back on

    something is terribly wrong here.


    all 6 other bolts fully bolted down

    i think that is the right bolt for that hole? correct me if im wrong
    but yea not even close to lining up :/
    original subframe damage could it have bent the car frame?

    Or the subframe you got is bent. Sucks either way.....

    There are some factory measurements on this pdf -> http://www.miata.net/garage/90-99Par...sion_guide.pdf

    Correct, subframes, ppf, motor/trans/wiring, gauge cluster and hood. That's about it. Actually helping a friend build one currently!

    Gauge hood sorry, not actual miata hood.
