In the first video https://youtu.be/vlBnDe0Lenw I replaced the front struts with a set of Koni adjustables on this Miata and now it is time to replace the rears struts, springs and install the upper mounts from flying Miata. Oh and sway bar. -Enjoy!

Looks like a autocross car to me
might as well bring back the mullet
Had a customer had a v8 in it
Working with Ms. Marie must be a hoot, she's so. . . bubbly with a delightful laugh.
SMA is the fabulous place for a first date. Me: "So, meet at SMA for coffee…?"☕😋
Her: "Sounds great, I love that place. The atmosphere is so quaint." ☕
Why not renew the hardware? The links I can understand, money and all. The nuts and bolts can’t be that much? Nice new purple top mount, two rusted nuts, weird. For the price for the parts, I’d expect new fittings anyway.
I am miata people and i am upset 🙁
why does this chick always wear a jeans dress thing?
Second time watching this and I just realized that you didn't use a boot on those. I just did my fronts about two weeks ago and I just noticed that since I may do the rears at some point.
Eric Flexing a little for us 🙂 😂
I don't enjoy the non-car chatter. I'd much rather have Eric telling us about cars.
I was going to ask why you never took us on shake with the Miata, then I realized you could not fit into it without adjusting the drivers seat. Which would break one of your rules, which says you should never adjust the driver seat. How do you deal with that?

Hi Eric Great show! Where did you get that control arm tool?
Thanks for the video.
I've got that exact same screwdriver and it is a great pry bar/scraper/hammer. Can't say i've ever used it on a screw.
did you get a new "jeep" hat?
I would love to see the alignment on the Miata if you happened to record it 🙂
The swaybar in the rear is for understear ( front ), the one in the front is for overstear ( rear )
PLEASE tell me she was wearing a denim dress, cause if bell bottoms are coming back, IMAMURDERAFOOL!!!!
Hey Eric: Can you do a "how to prep your car for winter" video sometime this summer? I live in the salt belt like you do, and I would like to know where to spray fluid film on my chassis to minimize rust, or where should I spray rubberized coating on the underside while it's warm this summer. Basically, what can I do to ensure my car's underside is protected for the harsh salt winter conditions it will encounter later this year? Thanks!!!!
Love your assistants, but get lost by too much dialogue. Like it better when only Eric O is narrating.
there is only 1 use for a screwdriver. Literally anything you need it to
Miata get two of those cars..one roller skate for each foot.😎
Part two good job.
Fancy
Flyin Miata makes some of the best Miata parts.
I like how you explain the steps of the work that you are doing. You don’t sound like a teacher but a fellow do it yourself kind of guy. I was able to change the axles and seals on a 94 Taurus One tool that came in handy was a small prybar from Dollar Tree as I was doing it on jack stands in driveway. Not much room to get anything bigger in there. I have to say Ms Marie looks like the women that go to our church. Also I like your minimal use of foul language.
A lot of money for parts and labor…but…reuse the old links and bushings?
Hey with the nice weather…We need to see a camping trip … Quote : …All work no play makes Homer something Something…Crazy?…Don't mind if i dooo !
Kid that owns that miata definitely loves that car with all the money he putting into it and having you install everything
Flat head screw driver is definitely the most abused tool in the shop it's used for everything
Great video Eric
Just a little observation…… should the new struts you fitted not have the dust boots fitted over the bump stops?
Karate kid was on the TV in the hospital room when my gf was giving birth to our son. Doctor asked if we wanted to turn the TV off told him "wax on, wax off doctor son" He said "what"? I said "no leave it on, no mercy". Then one of the nurses said "doctor…finish him.
Hey dude I notice that bofa ya nuts are rusty. It's true you can never have enough lube to protect the jig a lee bits.
I have a question that does not pertain to this video. I changed the bushing sway arm assembly and the bearings plust the control arm. I'm noticing a shake at about 50 miles an hour afterwards. I checked everything but I noticed a color sequence in the Piston bolts blue and chrome. Does this matter? And could that be the cause of the 50 miles an hour shake?
The Mazda Miata!!
That's what happens when a car company ignores the Pontiac Fiero!!
The Miata!! Keeping homosexuals out of Corvettes for decades!!
Like Marie says: THE MIATA IS ADORABLE"! Try to take out a raccoon in one of those, tho!! You'll regret it!!
The Miata!! The first and only vehicle where you can replace the suspension parts with used bubble gum without anyone knowing it! The only car where you can get sunburn on both elbows, from propping them up on both doors, while driving! Didn't they come from the factory with a shoe horn key fob, to help you put that car on? That's the only car that you can clean the entire windshield, driver side, passenger side, inside and out, AND THE REAR WINDOW, while comfortably seated in the driver seat, ALL AT ONE TIME!! ;-P
When I was a kid, I had a bicycle, with a banana seat, that could carry more passengers and luggage, than a Miata!! And you wouldn't the man bun to ride the bicycle! There was always that one kid in school, that got picked on! No friends, no siblings, even his parents didn't like him! HE INVENTED THE MIATA, THE MAN BUN, AND THE ONESIES FOR MEN!!
Nice
Next you'll be jack'n an LS3 motor in that skate board.
Another good video from SMA and Ms. Marie cracking jokes about nuts
Eric-what were you doing with a wrench putting those nuts on the top of the shock holders?? Where be the Harbour Freight 90 degree rachet stick??? I miss it. You see the armature had lost magnetism on the 1/2 big one from AVE's teardown?
I believe Marie has out giggled Hanna on a 3 to one ratio already. And what is she wearing? Skirt/jeans/welding apron pants??? I'm thinking how could I walk much less "shuffle" around?? Girls!!!! Teenage girls!!
