Welcome to a special guest episode, starring my 1990 Mazda Miata, Harley! From the time that I purchased her, the windows never worked, nor did the AC, and I’m not messing with that, so the windows had to be fixed! I found out the cables had snapped inside due to a previous improper speaker installation, so it was off to the races as I raced the rain (or suffer the consequence of no AC with the windows propped back up) to complete the job at hand.
It’s the final separation moment! The power plant frame is one step closer to being mated to the Exocet chassis thanks to the help of some friends. (I’m happy to report the broken thing was just some old tape, WHEW!)
It’s finally happening! The Exocet transformation starts, with the complete tear down of my (semi) trusty NA, Harley! This will be a four part series, showing which steps to take in tearing down your donor Miata. It’s a little rougher than some of my other videos, as it’s a lot to take on solo, but I hope this can at least guide you along in the process of your build, or any spot replacements you may see along the way while I’m going through!

For this video, I’ll be taking on the biggest challenge so far. Tackling the frozen pilot bearing that left me stranded in a starbucks (PSL is life), and throwing on a few extra fresh parts while I’m in there. In theory…
As a little treat for my mom, I purchased and replaced the parts she would need to replace her braking components. Here’s how to tackle this job, and simultaneously find out there is really not much holding on what many would consider the most important function of any car, yikes!
This is a quick and dirty shakedown of a cheap ebay exhaust swap. While we were able to get the job done, I can’t recommend doing this on your own, as we ended up having to weld on the catalytic converter, since this was unfortunately a liiiiiiitle less “plug and play” as advertised. Regardless, I hope it can shed light on the general swap process in case you’ve picked up a more reputable brand!
In all things automotive, frustrations will arise. I’m happy to show the struggles along the way, as anyone watching is likely not a professional either! With a little perseverance though, we’ll see it through! In this video, I troubleshoot some cooling issues I’m having, and updating ancient hoses that were long overdue for a transplant. I hope this helps, enjoy!
