Hi. There's a 92 Miata for sale nearby with about 75,000 miles. I'm not concerned about the miles, but wonder about potential parts failure due to old age. The owner says it has been garaged, had 60K service and all regular maintenance. Assuming it's mechanically sound, what would typically...

Bought 95 mazda miata. Seats have speakers the stock radio was replaced by a sony by past owner. The seat speakers not working or not hooked up. Has anyone had any experience with getting seat speakers working?

No miata content, but I figured that some people would get a kick out of this true story that happened last week. A family that I know allowed their teenager to drive their Porsche Carerra to high school. The Porsche is probably about 5 years old and was just worked on and detailed to prepare it...

Well, the brake pads (actually pad) were making a grinding noise on the left front, so I ordered fresh pads and rotors (Hawk HPS pads, brembo rotors from tirerack.com) and went to install them today. But it appears I have more serious issues than just the pads. Here's the situation: Left side,...

Have a 1990 Miata and have just started getting hardly no power, no acceleration, at low rpm. Have changed the fuel filter and plugs and the wires are OK. Could it be the injectors, and if so, what is a good cleaner for them. Thanks.

Thanks you guys (Lanny, Leon in particular) for suggestions a couple of months ago about my irregular tire wear and alignment. Here's a follow-up. Last tires were Falken Ziex ZE512 185/60-14's and I had characterized these tires as "Godawful". Rear tires were worn evenly, but heavily (about...

- Mazda holdback = 2% of base MSRP Q: any factory-dealer incentives on '05 3's running now? Story: After a long series of comparisons between the Ford SVT Focus, Mazda 3 5-door, Toyota Matrix, Subaru wagons, and Mazda Protege5, I've basically decided to get the 3. The Miata will stay in the...

Hi all! I've recently got me a mk2 (yipee!!) and was just wondering, what's the best way to wash it without harming the color in the long run? Is water under (high) pressure better than flowing water & sponge? I've heard to stay away from brushes but don't know how to best treat my new baby :-)...

I'm getting close to replacing my original Michelin Pilot SX-GT tires, which have about 50,000 miles. While I probably drive slightly faster and more aggressively than the average Camry or Taurus driver, I'm pretty conservative for a Miata driver. In the winter I put on Blizzaks, and while they...

Hey kids... ..whenever I hit 120mph on my favorite canyon roads around here, my tonneau cover always comes loose. (okay, I'm exaggerating a bit -- say, 55mhp on the freeway, okay?!) I've tried to double-loop the straps to tighten it, but to no prevail. I wonder if someone has tried to make straps...

What are the opinions of Miata drivers about premium versus regular gas? I have babied my 2003 Miata with 104 octane premium, but with present gas prices I wonder if this is worth it?

I have a 2002 SE with the 6 speed transmission and about 10K miles. When I let out the clutch in first and sometimes in second the transmission shutters some. It seems to be less noticable when it is warmer and I can avoid it if I keep the RPMs very high 3K+ while letting out the clutch. Does...

Is there a way to cancel out the airbag light? I have a 1991 miata the car was previously in a frontend colision prior to my ownership. I am looking to restore the car to its glory. However the airbag light stays on due to an aftermarket momo steering wheel that was installed "junk". If...

About a month ago a posted a couple messages about a clutch slave cylinder, and then a master cylinder for a '96. I replaced the slave cylinder, but couldn't get any pressure when trying to bleed the system. I bought a master cylinder kit, which had no instructions. I think I replaced everything in...

I got a tonneau cover for my '92* and when it's in place, the cover rests on top of the shoulder belts right where they pass over the upper guides. This keeps the belts from retracting properly when I get out of the car... Does anyone have a fix of some kind, something that might hold the cover...

The CD player in my 93 (25th ann.) jumps the moment I hit a small bump on the road. It just keeps on skipping, skipping and skipping. I tried cleaning it but with no success. Any ideas. JF

Hello, everyone. I have a '99 Miata, which makes a high-pitched squeaky noise when the car is moving. I looked around for a while (because I didn't know where the sound same from) and found it was the radio. Actually it's more like the empty compartment right under the radio/CD player. If I push...

I'm considering buying a 2005 Miata LS. Is it true that I will need to use premium gasoline?
