  • This was honestly some great bang for buck mods. DIY center caps for my rpf1 wheels made out of electrical knockout plugs. I got mine from Home Depot with the part number in the videos, 2" diameter. They fit nearly perfect with simple adjustments.

    Oh my god. Freakin Electric block knock outs. Never even thought. Was trying to justify paying 76 dollars for new center caps😬 thanks for the vid!

    This worked amazing on my aftermarket wheels. I don’t have rpf1’s (I’d love to have some though lol) but for $1 a piece you can’t go wrong. Haven’t had them fly out of the wheel but they are definitely in there tight. Thank you!

    Good work! 👍 On race wheels I usually just paint the hub black so the rust doesn't show.

    Good to hear you were able to sand them enough to remove the embossed lettering. When I did this a few days ago I decided to vinyl wrap them for that reason. Painted looks better so if you were able to sand them enough I’ll probably pull them off and spray them.

    What size rpf1's do you have on the back and what's the size of the rubber too? The stance looks really good and I love it. A little meat on the tire is always nice.

    What do you called to the one that you substitute for your center caps?, and how to know the size of the center rims to put the caps on?

    Wow love the stance on your miata. I did this center cap trick a few years ago, i just ended up painting them silver. Doesnt match the colour on the wheels though so perhaps ill paint them black later.

    • @ColoredinLight
      @ColoredinLight  Před 5 lety +1

      Thanks! I like the black since it's not the prettiest solution and doesnt draw much attention. I have though of color matching though too

      Colored in Light the engine I got is a 2.5 L out of a 2015 Ford Fusion. Reason I ask is because we have to re-use the 2.0 oil pan out of the stock Miata engine. So not sure why we can’t use the oil dipstick from the 2.5 L swap engine.

    Is the diameter of the front exactly 2 inches? I'm looking at the part on Home Depot and it says height and width are 2.688 inches.

      My first bend was when I was bedding in my new brakes and I was driving slow, like 25 mph. Rolled over this thing called bottomless pit and 2 days later I was still climbing out. When I was at work the next day is when I seen it and it was like getting kicked in the hotdog 😲😲, nothing helps. Complained to the county/city and they threw me back in the pit. Legend has it till this day on a quiet dark night you can still here me cry and ask for 1 more stimulus check. Damn loch ness monster ask me for tree fiddy.
