Is that for both seats or just one?

@@TachOnRed solo uno, lugar conductor / only one, driving place

Try using some extension wires to connect the heater controls from your passenger side to the driver side. If you have the same problem with your driver seat, it could be a faulty controller. The seat heater controller is built into the seat. So, replacing the seat might be easiest.

No they won't. Will need to do some fabricating of adapters or modify the seat rails to make them fit.

Thank you for watching! One additional thing I recommend is putting thick foam insulation on the back side of the plastic trim panels. (something like this: amzn.to/3W8qRw5). Disclaimer: *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. I did that just a couple months ago and that definitely made a noticeable difference to road noise coming in from the trunk. :)

As a bonus, they get to tax us even more for using more plastic and contributing to climate change. 😆

Thank you for watching!

Because I'm fussy and don't like the look of the exhaust tip hanging too far from the bumper. 😆

People who care to remove dust nibs before laying base coat. 🤷‍♂️

​@TachOnRed I was always told if you put sealer, you're not supposed to sand it, and if you did sand it, you would need to reapply sealer?

That's impressive! Did you do the work yourself?

No, I took it to a shop that specializes in opticoat and xpel protective wraps. I had the whole car opticoated including the rims. I also did a partial xpel wrap on surfaces I thought would get easily damaged.

How long do the headlights stay clear with that method?

@@TachOnRed Good question. I live in the Phoenix area and the heat is brutal on everything, including headlights. I can't truly say, but I routinely do it every few months and my headlights look as clear as ever. The polish also does a great job on stovetops! BTW...my truck is almost 9 years old with 175K miles.

I actually wouldn't recommend them. Here in Japan, they're priced the same as Tein Flex-Z. The Tein are far superior in terms of build and ride quality on every car I've driven them on (Used to work at a used car dealership specialising in Japanese sports cars). Here's a list of differences: 1. Blitz ZZ-R made in Taiwan. Same factory that makes coilovers for a bunch of other brands. That's not to say they're the same as other products. The damping rates etc have probably been designed by Blitz and just the manufacturing been contracted to the Taiwanese factory. Tein Flex-Z are manufactured in-house in Yokohama Japan. Their build quality and finish is noticeably better, and they also hold up better against rust long term. Tein's less expensive products are made in China and Taiwan though. But Flex-Z and higher range are made locally. 2. Blitz ZZ-R are monotube shocks and Tein Flex-Z are twin tube. On paper that makes you think the Blitz are better but not necessarily. Well made twintube shocks can perform way better than shit monotube shocks. Lots of bottom of the barrel budget monotube coilover brands you can find on Ebay. In fact, Flex-Z have been used on 24hour endurance race vehicles with no problems. 3. Blitz have 32 step damping adjustment. Tein have only 16. Again, Blitz look better on paper but it doesn't tell us anything about the range of adjustment you get. In my experience across many different cars, the difference from full soft to full hard is broader on the Tein Flex-Z. 4. Tein Flex-Z have better ride quality than the Blitz ZZ-R, even though their spring rates are usually the same for any given vehicle. This probably just shows that Tein have their damping better matched to the springs than Blitz. Also might have to do with the Tein's twintube shock design having more travel than a monotube design. Especially noticeable on an NC miata which already have quite limited shock travel in the rear. Overall, I'd say the Tein Flex-Z is a much better buy. I'd even say they're the best coilovers I've driven on in their price range. 😊👍

@@TachOnRed thanks for the in-depth response and input. Indeed, after some research, it would seem good twin tubes makes a more compliant and comfortable ride which was what I was really after for my back. Looks like I will be regretting cancelling the Cusco Street Zero A order for the ZZRs. The NC and ND have the same issue with the rear. After comparing the NC and ND ZZRs, it appears the version now for the ND has barrel springs for the rear with a very soft spring rate at 2.5kg (Cusco optional lowest at 3kg). Hopefully through their NC experience and feedback; the specifications of the rears now for the ND are catered to addressing the travel and improving the ride quality. The ZZRs are getting installed tomorrow, fingers crossed! Cheers.

Depends what car doesn't it? 🤷‍♂️

You have 3 options if you're looking to maximize headroom. 1. Using Factory NC2 or later seats with JASS Motorsport seat lowering brackets. The NC2 or later type seats (Recaro or not) all have height adjustment. You can put them on the lowest setting, and then if you still need more headroom, get the JASS motorsport lowering brackets. Note that these require welding for installation. I've put 2 links to other videos about the lowering brackets. ua-cam.com/video/0-7C43TCSaA/v-deo.html&pp=ygUZbmMgc2VhdCBsb3dlcmluZyBicmFja2V0cw%3D%3D ua-cam.com/video/0YBB1AgD0Sc/v-deo.html&pp=ygUZbmMgc2VhdCBsb3dlcmluZyBicmFja2V0cw%3D%3D 2. If that's not enough, next option is to go with aftermarket bucket seats with aftermarket low profile sliders such as this: www.sportseats4u.co.uk/product/2-pci-racing-mazda-mx5-mk3-frames-with-black-recaro-pole-position-abe-seats-package/ 3. If you need even more room, aftermarket fixed bucket seat mounts. As the name suggests, they're fixed and don't have sliders to take up space under the seat. This allows you to position seat lower. The seat position is adjustable but requires tools to do so. So it might take some trial and error to get the position right for you. An example would be like this: www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Part/61-1914.html

Last I checked, it didn't take a genius to figure out how to turn off Caps Lock. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for watching!

You know, I've been hearing good things about these Sylvania kits from other commenters too. Will have to give it a try!

Was it SprayMax 2k clear?

@@TachOnRed no, it was Rust-Oleum.

Try 2k clear. It lasts for at least 5 years from what I've seen on customer cars. 😊

Glad you found it helpful!😃 One thing with using a drill, make sure you have a soft interface pad for your sanding disk. This will prevent you from drastically altering the shape of your headlight lenses. 😊 Enjoy the project! 😃

@@TachOnRed Never thought of that. Thanks for the tip.

This is important advice that I wish I had mentioned in the video. 🤔

@TachOnRed I'm a certified BASF refinisher. Safety has always been first and foremost for me. I highly recommend "Klasse" All-In-One (red bottle) to protect all of your refinished products, glass, chrome, and other non-porous items. A little goes a long way when applied properly, I use a slightly damp sponge/terry pad. Then, simply remove excess with a microfiber cloth.

HOW YOU GET 'FOG' INSIDE A SEALED BEAM HEADLIGHT? 52 YEARS IF USING THEM, NEVER SEEN FIG, NOT EVEN WHEN CRACKED OPEN WITH STONE CHIPS, MOST OF US SEE FOG INSIDE MODERN VENTED HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND I ONCE HAD TO DRILL SOME SMALL HOLES IN MY REAR PLASTIC SEALD LIGHT ASSEMBLIES ON MY 2006 DIDGE TRUCK, OLD GLASS SEALD BEAM FOG, NEVER.

@@velocity5918 As a cheap skate I've always driven old motorcycles and cars and serviced them myself. Most of them had glass headlights and most of those were fogged inside when I got them. You don't necessarily notice this just by looking at it. But the fogging does darken the light beam. People just attribute this to old technology and shrug it off. How this fogging occurs is beyond me, but it is there. It's also easy to wipe clean with a rag, just getting to it inside the headlight is difficult, but doable. BTW; you might consider not posting in caps. Very impolite.

What car and how much were the new headlights? 😮

Sure! Lemme do that after wiping my ass with fresh $100 bills plucked straight from the money tree in my backyard. 👍

​@@TachOnRedWOW, U R A REAL SMART AZZED COKE SUCKER AIN'T CHA?!

Thank you for watching!

Yes! You're right! This is actually what I wanted to say but royally messed that up when recording the video. Thank you for pointing that out!

Is it causing the light beam to diffuse though ?

Had plenty of customer cars run through the biannual legal roadworthy inspection here in Japan. One of the checks is light output (brightness) and beam projection (direction). All passed with no issues. 👍😊

Never tried the Sylvania products myself. But that kind of longevity you got out of it is very impressive indeed. 👍

Yellowing is just what happens when you don't do anything about the clouding and leave it for long enough. 😆

How long do the headlights stay clear that way?

How long do they stay clear between cleans?

Thank you for watching! 😊

@@TachOnRed you’re welcome 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Hi, is the spray available in the UK. Ged.

Plastic pistons for weight reduction! Brilliant! 😃

How long do the headlights stay clear with that? How often do you have to redo them?

If you don't mind redoing it every couple months, buffing works just fine. If you want to do it once and never touch your headlights again, 2k clear 👍

@@TachOnRed yeah once a year I do it.

If that's the sort of thing that turns you on... I ain't gonna judge. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the sub!😃 👍

And you need to redo it every couple months. 😭

@@TachOnRed true

No disrespect taken at all! Wow $150 for a pair of brand new headlights is unheard of for any car I've worked on. I do crash repairs for a living and we see a LOT of Japanese cars come through here. $300 per side seems to be an average for OEM headlights. They are all newer cars though. 4 years or less. 😊

@@TachOnRed both sets from china via amazon... '95 Toyota Tercel and 2001 Honda Crv. The Toyota sits in the driveway and does 10 miles round trip to/from the train. the Honda sits on the curb and does a 40 mile round trip on Pennsylvania highways daily. Honestly - I don't fall for the cheap tricks - even went the polishing route - this works and doesn't break the bank - cheers!

and I'm not a big fan of amazon...

😆😆 I don't know who was but it sure wasn't me. I've never owned a Fiat.

It's odd you say that because if the heat from the bulbs caused it, I'd expect the hazing to occur on the inside of the lens and not the outside as it commonly does. Also, cars that are never driven but simply parked in the sun will get hazy headlights. But cars driven regularly but stored in a garage are less prone to headlight hazing. That too makes me doubt that the heat from the bulbs has much to do with it at all.🤔

Stones and pebbles are the least of my worries for a street driven car. Especially here in Japan where the roads are clean enough to eat off (exaggerating... please don't actually try to eat anything off the roads here). Got mad respect for anyone who has the skill and patience to do a clean film installation. I've tried wrapping other things before - I suck at it! That said, 2K clearcoat can last as long as you own the car if applied as per the instructions in the video description. I've seen it last as long as 7 years on customer cars at work. Never have to reapply or redo anything. It just stays clear and doesn't haze or yellow. You might get microscratches in it from like washing the car - just like you do on the rest of the car. A quick buff whenever you polish or buff the body panels and you're sweet. It's purely a cosmetic thing if you want the whole car looking glossy and shiny. If the microscratches don't bother you, you can just leave it as is.

@@TachOnRed On good roads, it's less worrisome, however, the cars in front of you will jet the dirt from the road and everything else into your car even in Japan :) As for wrapping the foil on to the headlight, it's not that hard (depending on the headlight), make the shape out of cardboard then use it as a guide. It doesn't need to be perfect, it won't be visible in the end. Cheers! edit: come to think of it, the biggest drawback with 3M foil is that you will most likely have to order the whole roll of it and that might make it more expensive than you would except. But you'll have it for decades or split the cost with a neighbor or something :P
