Would you do a price breakdown at the end of the series?

@snakerb 10 месяцев назад

THIS!

@FlyinMiataVideo 10 месяцев назад

Almost all the parts with prices are available from our website, and unfortunately we can't accurately estimate labor rates. You could easily put together your own "Ron" build with your preferences. :)

Very similar car to Ron, but with a much more basic interior and lots more Aero :)

Funny, I've essentially created Project Ron with my '01 LS with the exception of the seats and the fan setup...may as well go all the way with my rolling FM parts car 😏 Between your instruction videos and your well-engineered parts, I've become a fanboy (pun intended)

What's your take on worm gear hose clamp vs tension band hose clamp? I have heard that tension band hose clamps are preferred due to it's ability to expand and contract with heating and cooling. Obviously you guys are using worm gear but wanted to know if you had any thoughts.

@FlyinMiataVideo 10 месяцев назад

We usually prefer the constant torque clamps for coolant lines when possible, but in some cases they aren't strictly necessary.

@MotorBlades 10 месяцев назад

love how ron is coming along, i was wondering if there’s any drawbacks to removing the coolant neck, i was doing research but couldn’t find conclusive answers. does it affect oil temps?

@FlyinMiataVideo 10 месяцев назад

The point of the reroute (and removing the coolant neck) is to help even out the flow of coolant, and the temperatures across all 4 cylinders. There are very few downsides, but we have several other videos on our channel focusing on the reroute. This video with Mike talks about why you might want one, the benefits and details. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rVgCxPPuVHI.htmlsi=0Wq428VMfqnp4XNb

Is it possible to build your own cowl cover? Where do they bolt up?

@FlyinMiataVideo 10 месяцев назад

Most cowl covers mount to the firewall. If you're building your own, you could mount it wherever you'd like that is available. :)

@weedytc73 10 месяцев назад

Normally the reroute was for NB because on the NBFL mazda fix the problem

@FlyinMiataVideo 10 месяцев назад

Our reroute kit moves the thermostat to the back of the head, evening out the flow of coolant, and making the thermostat more functional. It also works great on Turbo cars (check out Ron episode 8!) because it helps cool the turbo more efficiently and dumps the extra hot coolant from the turbo back into the stream to the radiator instead of feeding it into the head. These are things Mazda never addressed. Check out or technical video on how reroutes work and why you might want one here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rVgCxPPuVHI.htmlsi=toGqk2N-KMDgqLAJ

@luciengrise6229 10 месяцев назад

Did you paint the cowl cover? It looks burgundy near the end of the video.

@FlyinMiataVideo 10 месяцев назад

It's a super high gloss black. We left it black, so it's probably just a reflection. :)

@Reed_Spacer 10 месяцев назад

I thought coolant reroutes weren't necessary (or even a bad idea) on the vvt engines since they have a head gasket designed to route the coolant more efficiently?

@FlyinMiataVideo 10 месяцев назад

Necessary for a stock engine driven on the street? Probably not. But if you drive your car hard, or if it sees track time, or if you have a turbo charger, it's definitely a good idea. The head gasket definitely helps, but does not really change the way the coolant flows through the head Our coolant reroute fixes the flow, moves the thermostat to a more accurate position on the back of the head, and diverts the super heated coolant from the turbo directly into the radiator for cooling, instead of dumping it straight into the engine like the standard non-reroute flow. Check out our video on cooling reroutes below for more info: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rVgCxPPuVHI.htmlsi=Rp1ebloisjHuWa9w

@@mistersecret88be warned though: I have another brand tank with a sight-glass (the type that screws into the side, not this external tube type (but surely that will just get broken eventually...)

@dielaughing73 10 месяцев назад

@@mistersecret88 I don't know if there's anything you can do to mitigate the problem using the stock tank. Some people never have an issue but some have replaced with OEM more than once. Sadly it seems to be a common problem with many makes and models. Mine shit the bed the very first time I took it on track. Could have been very bad. Just my 2c

@gigi9467 10 месяцев назад

The one thing that would Make this series stand out from all of the other ppl that do the same ol thing would be to take it to the track and time it ovrytime an uphrade was added, other than that its the same ol Thing…

@FlyinMiataVideo 10 месяцев назад

It's way to late to do that, and the car was never meant to be a track car, so timed track testing really isn't what we wanted to show. Every car is different, and we thought people would enjoy seeing a Miata built with our parts.
