Definitely a car that’s fun to beat the piss out of. Not going to drive the M2 any differently when I get it

Miata is always the answer but I’m ready for something different

semi relevant, is mazda replacing them on modified cars or are they being insane about gatekeeping which cars get get them and denying others?

[BradMX5]

They’re replacing them on modified cars. A lot on track day cars too.

Believe the only people not getting them warranty replaced are the ones throwing boost at it.

Of course.

This is also true, I would probably love a Miata as a daily and even a weekend track/autocross weapon. Costs are light on the wallet and you can definitely have a blast.

I haven’t done anything to the drivetrain you idiot lol. I did the CDV that’s not drive train nor anything to do with my gear selector. It’s clutch.

Relax and touch grass. They read my logs and found everything is good. We at my shop did find a bent gear selector from manufacture. This just in about an hour ago after speaking with BMW NA.

How dumb do you feel? My warranty will be satisfying even more now.

Is wittle man gonna report me? Waaaa

I’ll likely do an aftermarket gear selector even though this is cause since my ECU logs are fine and there’s no damage to engine or trans.

Happy driving son!

I love my Miata RF. Got the BBS/Brembo/Recaro package. I agree. Everyone should try a Miata at least once and drive the piss out it. I know I do. Prolly one of the best mannys on the market. Slow car fast!

And notice, I have a Zunsport grill on her😉

Happy Motoring.

Same color as mine before I wrapped it. I’m not a fan of gray cars but that color in person is so nice.

I did the Carbon Miata instead of Zunsport

I do love me a good Miata. Top fun. Ravenseal might get mad at me for banging gears even in that and tell me to go get a Lada.

I’m thinking it’s not his gears that needs a banging. Could be a jealousy thing.

[reallymarkedup]

Whoa, why we gotta bring Lada into this?

Just one for me. I traded for the ND2 after that.

They did 4 each. One was even a built one from a cup car.

It was a car originally designed for the 1.5l engine. Last minute their US CEO pushed them to throw a 2.0l engine in it because in America we don’t like tiny engines I guess.

The transmission was already designed close to breaking point (weight savings) so throwing more power at it wasn’t the move.

I only know about two of us, who's this third you speak of?

I'll just say it, it's things like this that reinforce BMW has pretty much abandoned the 6MT. If they were continuing development on it, the whole box would have been continued to be upgraded/beefed up (synchros and all) for what these S58s are putting out.
I had a lot of grinding in my 135i and shifting headaches and it's one of many reasons I went ZF8 this time. Not to derail the thread.

Idk if that’s fair to say when he took out the CDV and beat the hell out of the transmission with his driving style.

CVD is part of your transmission drivetrain system, aka your powertrain warranty is void if you're found out. Keep being a bitch though.

[BradMX5]

CDV is part of the clutch not transmission.
Most powertrain warranties don’t cover clutch because it’s a wear item.

Sounds like they knew about the CDV delete and still covered it so good on them for recognizing it doesn’t affect the forks in any way.

How made are you on a scale from 1-10 that I don’t have to pay a dime and still bang more gears in an hour than you do in 3 years?
