Special Guest: My Miata Harley!

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.

Removing the Miata tub from the power plant frame

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!)

Tearing down a Miata with hand tools part 4 of the Exocet build!

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!

Upper and Lower Radiator Hose Replacement

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!
