If the range isn't sufficient I guess you could replace the batteries
with Energizers? Then it would keep going and going and going and..

The dreaded oil/tire thread! by
XS11E[_3_]
Which oil is best? Should I use Super Sewer Sludge 90w-250 Synthetic?
Never mind, I don't have the heart to start an oil thread....
So what do people think of Kumho tires, specifically the AST?
I'm still debating new tires because it upsets my natural cheapness.
My existing tires have almost...

Gremlins? by
XS11E[_3_]
I've mentioned before that the headlights on my '92 don't always go up
when I turn the lights on. It's VERY rare, maybe once a month or less
and I can raise them by using the button on the dashboard so I haven't
worried about it too much until.....
Last night, I drove the car, it's been...

Real wheel:

The orange cord is to my electric impact wrench, a HUGE time saver.
Front wheel:

I think just having a clean wheel is a huge plus!

Visited yesterday! by
XS11E[_3_]
I visited my 1992 Miata yesterday at the shop, it's original paint is
almost completely removed and most of the prep work is done so it can
be painted today. They didn't plan to strip the car but when they
tried to sand it, huge chunks of paint flaked off revealing no primer
beneath (typical...

Window Tinting in reverse? by
XS11E[_3_]
I have the film type tint applied to the vent windows and side windows
of my Miata and AFAIK it's been there since 1992. The vent window have
bubbles and other bad spots, the side windows have scratches so I
thought maybe I'd remove the stuff.
The question is how? Anyone know an easy way to...

What happened to.... by
XS11E[_3_]
..... summer? Went out to make a lap around the block this evening and
had to wear a heavy shirt??? Yesterday it was 94F, a little cold for
me but tolerable, tonight it's 65F, I was afraid of encountering polar
bears!
I may have to put the top up and fire up the heater in the Miata?
I don't...

Weather forecast... by
XS11E[_3_]
Everyone in Arizona and California can disregard the forecast, I have
to drive to the left coast on Tuesday so yesterday I bought new wiper
blades for the Miata. We all know it won't rain if you have new wiper
blades.... ;-)

Comments: I haven't seen the car, I don't know the seller but if
someone is looking it might be worth the time to make a phone call?

Automatic Miata by
XS11E[_3_]
These are fairly uncommon, might be of interest to someone?
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/car/538829920.html
The price isn't too bad and might be negotiable.

H6024?? by
XS11E[_3_]
Last night I found I had a broken headlight on the 1992 MX5. On my way
home I stopped at a couple of places to get a new one and found
AutoZone was out and their computer showed their other nearby stores
were also out.
I headed across the street to Walmart and found one there, they had

New battery. by
XS11E[_3_]
I've reached the point in the life span of my battery when
1. The car will crank enthusiastically and fire right up if driven
daily,
2. It cranks a bit slowly and hesitates, may take a couple of trys to
get it to fire if the car sits for a day
3. It's marginal, maybe a 50/50 chance it'll...

Hole repair? by
XS11E[_3_]
My Westco battery should be here today and I plan to install it and
remove the tired Mazda battery currently <-pun not intended! installed
in the car. Since the Mazda battery requires venting to the outside
there's a neat little connection where the vent hoses come together and
pass through...
