Have a gas smell that's getting stronger since I 1st noticed it coming from the engine a few weeks ago. I see no drips underneath the engin and the feul gage *seems* to be on target for gas use. A new after market intake and outtake was put in about a year 1/2 ago. Drives fine......What could it...

I had to remove the front latches from my hardtop so I could replace the plastic "bullet points" that seat into the plates at the top of the windshield. One of the latches came off and went back on without a struggle, but the other was almost impossible to remove. Two of the three screws just...

Hi, Can anybody please run a carfax history report for the vin number knadc123626196853 Thanks, Prajwal

The '90 blew out it's heater core today. Someone posted an article showing how to remove and replace the core without pulling the entire dash. I sure would appreciate someone re-posting that link. Thanks, Ken

The 1991 turbo 1.8 liter that I bought is still going well, car & driver are both alive and uninjured. I have been driving it very carefully, almost re-learning to drive the car. I spent 5 years with the ability to give my miata near-maximum to maximum acceleration under almost any circumstances....

Let me be slightly trollish in this matter as I admit mothers who take their brats to school in their 4x4s as they are not "very good" at parking i.e f**king dangerous to the rest of the world! do the 4x4 a dis-service i.e its them who should be driving Fiestas "properly, safely etc" but...

After so much enjoyment, I have to consider another vehicle. I'm almost sick thinking that my Miata-ing is either limited or over now. I can't even count the good times I've had with it. My '90 first-month-of-production is at that point. The tranny failed on me and it's in storage until I can...

Hey all, My 97's fuel gauge has gone bonkers. Sometimes it reads a full tank, sometimes 3/4, but it's never accurate. A few months ago it started working intermittently, but when it did work, it was accurate. Now it just doesn't work at all. Sometimes it moves from full, but only by a hair, no...

As I was putting on my 3rd snow tire this morning, it dawned on me that I needed centering rings for the aftermarket wheels that my snow tires are on. Some places sell poly carbonate rings, some places sell aluminum ones. Since they're supposed to bear most of the weight of the car, I would think...

My '92 Miata with about 90K, has been pegging the oil pressure gauge at the 90 psi mark during acceleration. Thinking it was the gauge or sending unit, I took it to my mechanix. He said the both were fine and the oil pressure was actually in the 70-90 psi range at 2500-3000 rpm. He said the...

I have a 1992 Miata which I bought new in November 1992. It now has 7000 (seven thousand) miles on it. Within the last month, the airbag light has started to flash. The blink rate is four flashes on at one second intervals then off for four or five seconds. Then the cycle repeats. This goes on for...

I have a 1990 MX5. The custom exhaust is rattling and giving me the ****s depite numerous attempts by my performance mechanic to silence it. I was wondering whether there were any Melbournian readers here who could recommend someone reliable (and hopefully not ridiculously pricey). Thanks.

I need the small, and large rubber boots for my NA, and I was shocked to find out how much the dealers want for them !! About the best price I've seen so far is from Trussville for ~$48.00 !!! I think it's nuts that you can buy a CV boot for $8.00 but a shift boot is $25.00 Does anyone make an...

Has anyone experienced a battery drain even after disabling the radio (aftermarket)? My '91 has an issue with holding voltage. A new battery was installed this summer after some alt and bat testing. The alt tests good, but even the new bat won't hold voltage for more than two days. Am I looking...

Hi All Just gone to get my 2002 MX5 1.8 out of my garage. Battery too flat to start it. Hasn't been used for 2 weeks and only had one short run in the 2 weeks before that. Any advice on whether this is normal? How long should a battery last?

Picked up Zigger from Coop's miata and I'm told I now have the first M1 (97) with the MP62 supercharger. I have just 300 miles on it now but the power increase is really something. Of course, now I need more track time and instruction but Thunderhill is just a few months away! I kept the original...

Hi, I just bought a '93 'V-Special' Edition Miata, and had the following questions: 1) The suspension has been lowered slightly by the previous owner, but I remember driving a Miata with a stock suspension setup last month, and I prefer that 'softer' ride. I was wondering if deflating/inflating...

i all, i noticed a litle split on my softtop just behind the frame on the passenger window.Nothing serious , and it was stable. When i was looking for a way to repair or gleu this i did some bad discover. The lower parts of the top, where its attached under the body the material of the sorfttop ...

My '93 Miata marginally failed the TX State Inspection for NOx at the high speed and low speed. I changed the spark plugs and air filter (was due for this anyway) and had it tested again - this time I passed the low speed test (barely) and still failed the high speed test (1,562 ppm NOx vs the...
