I don't like the power steering lines rubbing on the sway bar.
I didn't know sway bars would move side to side like that. |

I didn't know sway bars would move side to side like that. Those are fuel lines if memory serves Unless that car was originally a carbureted car, maybe, but I believe the fuel lines run along the passenger side frame rails and come up at the firewall by the passenger side hood hinge. That's where they are on our 86 SVO, anyway. But if they aren't fuel lines, I don't know what they may be, as all the power steering lines are all on the driver's side or running along the rack. Either way, the fact that they are rubbing on the sway bar and those wonderfully-temporary-looking connections are definitely the subject of concern. I would bet (hope) the lines got rerouted after the owners reviewed that video. I know I would. I wonder if the bar would still move from side to side like that if it were actually parallel to the ground where it bolts to the frame vs. the loop that it is there. I bet that has something to do with all that movement. |

Those are 100% percent fuel line!!! That is scary. I don't know if it me anybody notice the flex in the sway bar bracket.

I know the RB miata rear sway bars come with stoppers for that exact reason. I know I've seen people use shaft collars as well. No room for anything in there though. I think I was more impressed with how much flex those tires had at the limit. I also wish I could see what what's going on in front to see what's happening when it picks up the inside front tire momentarily.
As for the fuel line looks like one of the factory clamps isn't fastened to the frame. |

It looks like he's lifting the inside front tire when he jumps on the gas. Also, is the brake rotor only glowing at the top, but not at the bottom? It can't be cooling off that quickly. Maybe it's just the lighting.

It looks like the brakes aren't glowing, but could be sparks instead!
