Yup, i am noob fresh out off clubroadster into a zilvia, so help a brother out..:confused::wtc::facepalm:

[S13-JOhNy.]

That all usually happens on KA motors when they are giving out.

[Croustibat]

Sell it and buy one that works. There is a reason why they cost more money ...

That all usually happens on car fuses when they are giving out.
That all usually happens on car relays when they are giving out.
That all usually happens on car wires when they are giving out.
That all usually happens on car computers when they are giving out.

First step is get off the computer and start checking these parts. Then update your status

It's not hard man, use your head. Stop being a wuss.


Pull out the speedometer on your transmission and check its physical condition. Then check the voltages when you put it back in.

Your headlights, if they turn on but won't go up is a column switch problem. The switch on your steering column succumb to physical deterioration after all these years and will prevent the lights from coming up or coming down. Buy a new one.

Window regulator, remove the panel and get a new one.

That's it? That's all the problems you have? There's nothing in there even preventing you from driving. Man up.

[DJ 21o3]

LOL i feel bad for the OP but when you buy a 15+ year old car (15 for S14's, i know yours is a lot older as you stated S13), you should expect problems that will require either over paying a shop or simply doing basic mechanic work. If you don't feel comfortable working on cars, no offence but sell the car right now.

[Iamtomtom]

Oh no I was just asking questions, I did research and stuff about the regulator I mos def need a new one. The speedometer I have no clue. The lights eh. And yeah.

For the lights, I just get a new switch? It go down either.

he has a point..... if this is your daily? buy another car and use this as a means to obtain some knowledge on how to work on your car. that way when any issue occurs in the future you wont be a pussy and have the fear of breaking anything. well thats my opinion. honestly if you buy a 240 with absolutly no problems you might be in a dream ask any 240 owner... there is always something that isnt perfect on the car or needs work.. :keke:

[Iamtomtom]

Oh I was just asking . You don't need to answer. I thought some people would just answer the question so the others will get a step by step, I did do my research after posting this dumb fuck. I'm sorry that your mom dropped up on your head :3

Or you waited for the perfect one and spent too much. Haha my S14 has nothing wrong it yet...

[ghoti]

Yup, i am noob fresh out off clubroadster

That explains everything.

[racepar1]

Dude, WTF??? OP didn't even post a question, just stated problems hoping to be spoonfed the solutions. OP hasn't even tested anything. Hasn't searched for anything. I wonder if he even has any tools, other than the Bob The Builder playset his mom gave him for christmas. I thought 240 kids were fucked up, I guess the REALLY fucked up ones are into miatas...

What a jackass.

:facepalm:

Nah just me im just really fucked up ones. the miata community are pretty nice and i say people from clubroadster are the same as here. well whatever ima get banned for being retarded anyways. so okay.:gives:

[Iamtomtom]

nah just me dude. im the fucked up one.:werd:

[MamangSorbetero]

OP, is it that hard to read today? A personal strive to research information would go a long way

[Iamtomtom]

well i did my research, but its not solid. others people opinion that had the car longer than i would be helpful too. i rather be careful than be sorry in the long run because i broke something.

[ST34LthyN1NJ4]

or you can always pay some one to do it for you since clearly you're to incompetent to do the simplest of tasks and would fuck it up even more than it already is even if some one spoonfed you step by step information...how you managed to get out of bed, strap on your helmet and make a new thread is beyond me at this point when clearly you couldnt take the whole 30 seconds it takes to search and find the solution to every one of your problems

Chill Bro. Dont be an A hole. Although you are right, you dont gotta say it like that.

To OP, these are easy fixes, but you gotta do some homework and start tearing the car apart and learn about it a little. You sound like you dont know how to work on cars, and thats okay, we were all like that at one point in time. My advice is go buy you a Chiltons Repair Manual, that manual tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about how to fix your car. Thats what I did, and now I know TON more than I used to. Good luck.

Yeah I used chilton repair manual for the miata! But I also got help from YouTube and people that actually work on the miata. I'm just broke to buy the manual or even to feed myself at the moment.. I'm too broke but buying the book is my plan.
