Throttle Cable Removal Tool

January 31, 2015April 22, 2019CharlieComment(0)

I needed to replace the throttle cable on the Rallycross Miata.  So, as usual I read all I could find on Miata.net about how to remove it.  I found out that removing the part at the firewall was very difficult.   Most of the suggestions involved trying to push the clip fingers in while someone […]

Flyin’ Miata Hub Stands

July 2, 2014April 22, 2019CharlieComment(0)

Since there are so many Miatas around here that need alignments, I decided to purchase the Flyin’ Miata Hub Stands.  They took about a week to arrive, but got here the other day in fine shape.   I took some pictures as I assembled them. The roller bearings should be kept clean so I needed […]

I purchased some used Flyin’ Miata tools to use with my Miata projects.  Here are a few of the tools and how they have been used.  All of them have worked well.   I used the crank bolt tool instead of my homemade tool to remove the crank bolt on my 1999 AE yesterday.  To […]

Alignment Steering Wheel Holder

I made a steering wheel holder to use when aligning my Miatas.  The tool was fairly easy to make using a large caulking gun I bought at Ace Hardware for $9.00.  The remaining parts were made from a Miata jack handle. First I cut off the caulk tube holder leaving the handle and plunger.   […]

Alignment Camber Tool

I have a magnetic base camber gauge that came with a used tool box I purchased at a garage sale.  It appeared to be a viable option for use on my Miatas.  So, my son and I made a tool that can be placed against an OEM 15″ Miata wheel. The tool is made from […]

Alignment String Jig

March 30, 2013April 22, 2019CharlieComment(0)

I have read a lot of good things about doing my own alignments.  It can save money and should allow me to do custom alignments to my Miatas.  I looked at the different alignment tools and processes to get ideas on how I could make my own tools.  I get much more satisfaction from making […]
