MX5 NA Miata - How to install Delrin door bushings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Great news! I got my own MiataMods Delrin door bushings which even have a better fitment than the ones I used in the video! I sell them on my webshop (miatamods.net/...) for only €40,- and that includes international shipping!
In this video I'm going to do a very simple but useful modification to the car, and that is installing Delrin door bushings. The door bushings are located behind the doors and they help to keep the door in place when it's closed.
The old door bushings are made out of rubber so they are a bit soft and a lot of times they are also worn. Because of that they leave a bit of room so the door will still move, even when it's closed.
The Delrin door bushings are a lot stiffer and they fit a lot better. Because of that it holds the doors solidly locked into place. This in turn allows the doors to reinforce the chassis and the doors play a big role in that. The effect is a stiffer car with fewer squeaks and rattles.
Things you will need:
» Socket wrench
» 10mm socket
» Old rag
» Delrin door bushings (miatamods.net/...)
» Phillips head screwdriver
Music I used:
» Chuki Beats - Jump ( • HAPPY BOUNCY HIP HOP I... )
» Instrumental produced by Chuki ( / chukimusic )

I sell them on my webshop (miatamods.net/shop) for only €40,- and that includes international shipping!

Thanks in advance for helping me and my channel guys!
MiataMods do you plan on having any additional mod parts available to buy from your store?
If I find something that is interesting enough to sell, that could be the case yes
I send you an email but got no reply, when are these going to be back in stock?
Hey Steven, I've just send you an e-mail! They will be back in stock within two weeks!
Great, thanks for letting me know! Keep it up with the great videos! Oh and btw I had no luck finding any 75mm connectors.
“It will cause less rattles”
All Miata Guys: Oooooooooo
Hahaha yeah pretty much 😂
For real 😅❤
Well done - perfectly explains the function of these little things for the average mx5 miata owner.
Thanks Brandon! 👍
I've never even noticed if the door moves when closed but given the age of the car, I'll bet it does. Canadian winters are not a good time to drive the Miata so it's parked beside the garage under a cover. I'll have to check the bushings in spring.
Thanks for the video. Love the subtle use of memes. lol
No problem and thanks for the compliment! Those memes are a part of my editing style so it’s nice to hear the viewers like it! 👍
I received the bushing set! Thx man. But your webshop is still out of blinker fluid! 😀
Yeah I know, still looking for a supplier 😆
Will have to pick some of these up! I actually got stuck in the snow in Amsterdam on Monday, and my flight back home to London was cancelled 😂
Yeah our country is not that good in handling bad weather, especially snow.. sorry about that mate 😅
Don't worry, you seem to handle snow 10x better than in England ;) One snowflake and all the trains and roads shut down!
Thanks for the vídeo, i have just ordered a set for my Miata ;). Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I will!
Yep, as expected...you explain things waaaaaayyyyy better than I do. Great video, thanks for sharing. I should just take down my video on delrin door bushings and direct traffic to your channel....lol.
Haha thanks for the compliment but I am not better 😛 We each have our own style and that’s fine! We are both helping the Miata/MX5 community and that is what matters 👍
Cool car. Cool video!
Cool response!
Woah thanks for the video! I never knew about these. My doors flex enough to make my top have to flex too. I should get those... Awesome music! :) playing in that snow looks sooooo fun!
Thanks man! If you are interested in the door bushings, you can order them on my webshop: miatamods.net/shop/!
Summer tyres?! :-) Our Swiss insurance companies are not very impressed if you drive on snow in summer tyres and something happens :-/ BTW Nice cheap mod! All the best, Rob
Yeah summer tires 🙈 makes it easier to do some skids though haha
Nice vid, now I can install mine too.
Thanks for ordering a set buddy!
I love your videos! Step by step, clear and meme enough to not be boring. Your videos are helping me with a long term 91 Miata project so I wanted to say thanks and I look forward to future videos :)
Thanks for the kind words man! ☺️
Kind words is what you get until I get the opportunity to buy you a beer! :)
My misses asked me today what I would like for Christmas....how can I explain to her I want these🤔
Send me her email address and let me see what I can do 😉
This guy is trying to steal your wife
🤫
She's not a Miata fan so they won't get on!
If she really loves you she wants to buy a present that you would like, right? 😏
Awesome video. Will do this modification for sure.
Thanks man!
Leuk filmpje! Ga ik ook eens proberen.
Succes! Je kan de bushings op mijn website bestellen: www.miatamods.net
MiataMods en zojuist besteld!
I appreciate that you made these available at a good price since the Garagestar ones are kinda expensive to buy in Europe and that has put me off so far. I already ordered from your shop!
I know right? €35,- is a good price if I say so myself.. thanks for the order btw! Are you Fabrice?
I'm Gabriel. Looking forward to installing them! May I asked how these are made? Machined, 3D-printed, cast etc?
Nice to meet you! I will ship the order tomorrow! They are CNC milled from one big chunk of POM!
good way to fuck up your car by driving in the snow
Hey! What shifter surround is that? With the cup holders??
Also, great video!
It's a after market center console made by IL Motorsport
I just received and installed these on my car and the doors close more solid now which I like, and when I drive there is a small but noticeable difference of the car feeling more tight and less rattle. My driver door cup is slightly tighter that the passenger door cup and takes a little bit more force to close but I'm hoping it will wear in after a while otherwise I might sand the bushing a tenth of a mm. Thanks Johan for good product and fast shipment!
Sanding the bushing down will be quite hard because Delrin is really strong. What happens if you remove the bushing and push it in the door cup? Does it fit nice and snug? If that is the case, you need to readjust the mounting position of the bushing
I've had my NA for 5 years and the door just didn't close right with a minimal effort. After trying to adjust the bushings with a screw driver and coming close to stripping out the screw , I tried the 10mm socket as you did and off it came off easily. Cleaned it up and put the old bushings back and now it closes tight as a drum ! Thanks for the idea on this easy 10 minute project that makes a world of difference.
Glad my video was helpful! 👍
Excellent video mate, a good mod I think.. thanks 👍🏻
Thanks mr Kiwi 😉
Received mine today, they are really good quality and perfect fit. Also I believe these are the cheapest ones you can get in Europe, highly recommend these
Great to hear that, thanks for the feedback!
Long term quality update on these?
Haven't had any issues with all the bushings I've sold, including the ones I run myself. Delrin is incredibly strong. Buy it and try it I would say ;-)
€35 per side or for both?
It’s a complete set, international shipping included. For more info, check out the my webshop: www.miatamods.net/shop
dont use screw driver uses screw driver >.>
I will quote myself; "Do not use a screwdriver to remove the bolts". Do you see that you missed an important part? again, I say "TO REMOVE"... smart ass
Goede middag...
Good advise and simple explanation ...👍👍👍
Thanks!
hey, nice vid, I'll do the same soon! how much did you payed your hardtop?
It came with the car but I recently I've bought a second one (black one mint condition) for €550,-.
okay thx mate don't know much about prices, I've just bought mine a week ago, as a first car^^ love your content
Prices vary a lot, but in my country (NL) a mint condition hardtop is sold between €500-€700. Welcome to the Miata/MX5 club buddy!
MiataMods okay, I'm living in France, so I guess there won't be much of a difference. thx for the infos, and that's a pleasure! Maybe a meet one day w/ your community?
Yeah that would be very cool! Thanks for watching!
My doors never close properly anymore with these. Takes a pretty big slam or follow through. So many times my door isn't closed properly and results in a dead battery.
You got the MiataMods bushings or a other brand?
@@MiataMods another brand probably. It actually just took some adjustment. Works great now. I left it loose and repeatedly closed it until it settled into a good.position.
Great. That’s the correct way to do it!
It says on the website that the bushings come with a metal miata sticker? What exactly does that look like?
It’s just a transfer sticker from the company who supplied me the door bushings, nothing special really 😛
you got em from metal miata poland? haha i got the same ones!
Yes but at the moment I'm working on my own door bushings!
Nice video, it was amazing!!
Thanks!
Video finished at 0:03, you're welcome.
How nice of me that every video starts with a summary of the video right? You’re welcome
MiataMods
It was a joke dude. Usually people post “Video starts at x:xx.”
Ha!
I install the Flying Miata door bushings and there basically the same except there's also contain carbon fiber. Didn't really notice any difference in my handling.
Well there's your problem; You should have bought the MiataMods bushings. They contain fairy dust which is even better than carbon
are they really worth it?
I think it's well worth the money. You will not notice a mayor difference, but then again they are only 40 bucks so it's a really cheap mod. I sell them on my webshop (miatamods.net/shop) and that includes international shipping.
Just ordered some from you! :D
Cool man, thanks! I will send it on Tuesday, after new year 👍
I see you've got some snow too.
Yes sir and it's really fun haha!
I can't believe how expensive they are!
That’s why I offer a cheaper alternative
MiataMods what is the alternative?
Ow wait, you mean 35 euro’s is a lot of money?
Hey what are those seats?
Those are just the standard NA/MK1 seats but with new leather covers. Before you ask, no I don't know where you can buy those covers because I had a local guy remove the fabric covers and install the leather covers.
What seats do you have in your miata ?
OEM ones with new covers
that's if I can ever find my 10mm socket.
Haha one of the biggest problems in owning a Miata 😆
Good video but I don't like the meme faces you try to sneak in
Some people like them, some people don't and that's fine.. it's just my editing style. If you don't like them, don't watch my other videos because you will have a very bad time :)
MiataMods No problem thanks for the fast answer
i smell some rust😨
Welcome to the Miata life 😂
Nice👍🏻 next a turbo vid!?
Got a lot of plans, but turbo is not one of them.. yet
I am currently collecting all the parts for my turbo build. I live in Holland as well, maybe i’ll go to a next miating meet if there comes one and the miata is ready👍🏻
