Potential issues for an old Miata by
Generic
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...

Expensive Porsche Parking Lesson (NMC) by
pws
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...

Front brake issues, 1992 Miata by
[email protected]
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,...

lack of power at low rpm by
mac
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.

Arrite ... alignment & tires by
josh
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...

Best way to clean by
yourself
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 :-)...

Tires for a conservative driver by
Barry
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...

Tonneau cover comes loose... by
Peer Landa
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...

Miatas and premium versus regular gas by
Boris Goldofski
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?

2002 SE Transmission Noise by
Fred and Stacy Redell
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.

Problem With Rebuilding Clutch Master Cylinder by

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...

Minor annoyance. by
XS11E
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...

93 CD player by

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.

Q: Take Cover Off Of Radio by
solamour
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
