My passenger side exterior door handle does not snap back when opened. It has to be pushed back flush with the door in order for the door to latch/close properly. I have tried squirting some WD40 into the latch behind the handle but that only marginally helped. If I remove the handle from the...

The heat shield on the catalytic converter on my '95 is rattling and unless there is a clever fix like the stainless steel hose clamp solution for the down pipe heat shield I think I need a replacement. The cheapest bolt on replacement appears to be the Managflow 23696 for $85 from Performance...

Hi all, Drove my *automatic* '95 for an hour to a store, parked it, went shopping for an hour, came out, and the Miata would not start. It happily cranks but does not start. Noticed that the 'hold' light on the dash blinks continuously (this is an automatic) and believe that it is trying to...

'95 triple black After recently having a heater hose blow out on me I have been extremely sensitive to smells from my engine. After the heater hose was repair I still thought that I smelled something... At first I thought it was perhaps burn off from the antifreeze sprayed on the engine from the...

I am wondering if anyone has tried installing LED type replacement bulbs and if they are any brighter? Anything that would help safety and visibility is always welcome. Seems that these might help. As always, thank you all for your insight. here's what i am referring to... not a recommendation...

I have a '95 that has what I now consider to be a chronic problem with the left rear brake rubbing. When I first got the car I had the rear brakes lubed and reassembled but the rubbing came back after a couple of months. I was then sold a set of rear calipers as it was believed that the calipers...

Hello, I notice last summer something strange about my car. I own a Mazda 626 Cronos 1994 4 cyl. auto. When the gaz tank is half full or less and that I take a rapid turn ( like a highway ramp at important speed ( above 60 km/h ) my RPM just fall down and it seems like there is no more fuel...

I have for sale an almost brand new genuine Mazda chrome/aluminum M2 Fuel Door. This was a dealer removal from a brand new SE, and then got it and I put it on my car for about 10 minutes, and then removed it. (Don't like the way it looks particularly.) It is in mint condition, not a scratch or...

Converting to a "regular" wet cell lead acid battery is not a good idea, since the battery is in the trunk. Glass mat batteries with correctly placed vent connections are available--WESTCO battery makes a commonly used replacement, as do others. A conventional wet cell battery would need to be...

My 2 month old MS Miata was sandwiched between a Blazer and F150 while sitting in traffic. The truck slammed my rear and pushed me into the rear of the Blazer. No injuries, the truck's airbags deployed and mine did not. Is it possible to get paid for depreciation above the cost of repairs? It...

I have a 1996 Madza 626, V6 and a auto trans. It will not shift into high gear. I have tried to make it shift with gas and/or shift lever. Any ideas out there. Thanks Chuck 39

New server Cox killed the old one!

I know this is a Miata group, but maybe someone here knows. I've noticed some proteges (at least in the 1999 to 2003 models) have what appears to be a side turn signal light mounted just above the model sticker on the front fenders, and some don't. Was this a factory option as part of an option...

I replaced the Bose AM/FM/6 CD changer in my '03 with a MP3 player. Now I have a radio/CD player for sale! $175 + shipping sounds like a good price. Email me with any questions/remarks. ----- Clark Friedrichs /

I have been at several Miata sites this morning, and found on all sites, "Enthusiasts Manual 1.8." The problem is the manual covers up to the '97 model year and I have a '03. Any suggestions? Thank you. Clark -----

I have an '03, and according to the owners manual, it's time to flush and refill the radiator. The dealer wants $120 and Oil Express wants $70. Is there anything I should know that would help me decide who I want to do the job? For various reasons I'm not doing it myself. Thanks ----- Clark...
