Please explain wheel size differences. by Dave Smith
There have been several threads lately about wheel sizes, but I'm a bit in the dark as to what difference wheel diameter makes. I seem to remember hearing that changing wheel diameter doesn't necessarily change spedometer accuracy. If that's the case, then the tire thickness (rim to road) must be...

Insurance and wrecked Mazdaspeed by Chuck Aydlette
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...

tyre recommendation by AdrianR
Anyone got a recommendation for new tyres for my mx18? The current tyres came with the car when new and are Michelin 195/50R15 82V. I live and drive year round in the north of England, so they will have to cope with some snow. Adrian

Screetching sound when battery dead by Gary
When my battery is low and recharging, I get a screeching sound that stops when I get up some speed. When I come to a stop and startup again, the sound returns. This keeps happening for a few days and once the battery is fully charged, no more screeching sound. What are the possibilities?

I know nothing about blue lights by Jon and Cindy
I've just got a 90 MX-6 for commuting and, this being the only Mazda ng, I'll ask to trouble you for a few questions. I'm replacing one of the headlights and would like a little more depth. Do the blue bulbs work? If you've had experience with them, which brand/type to use? I've heard some pull...

Fading Clutch? by Peter Murphy
My '91 Miata now has 226k kilometres on the clock and recently I've noticed that when I hit the gas peddle in fourth or fifth gear the engine responds fine but the car doesn't accelerate accordingly. Does this mean that the clutch is worn and should be replaced? Is there any other way of checking...

Window mechanism question by Don Benton
As a result of being heavy-handed, and not taking the thing apart and lubing it properly, the window crank on the driver side stopped working. After dragging out Rod's manual (God, I hate trying to find something in there), I disassembled the door enough to notice that the top riser cable to the...

Rear main seal question by Jack Dannenberg
Laying under the car I put the rear main seal in. But the seal went in beyond the surface of the crankcase. From the end of the crank to the outer surface of the seal is 8mm. The sealing lip is 7mm past that for a total distance of 15mm. Does anyone know how long the crank surface is? The...

Anyone have any commends on custom air intakes for Miatas by [email protected]
I was checking out the following: http://www.gomiata.com/aemshorramin.html I am curious if people have actually experienced better mileage from a kit like this. If so, how much? I would think even an extra 1 MPG would be significant these days. I am thinking of adding it to my 1999 AE.

Best roll bar for head clearance? by John McClary
Hi folks, I posted this same question on Miata.net, but I'd like to get some input from this board too. I've read several threads on the topic of rollbars, but I'm hoping to find a more definitive answer. I want a roll bar (not style bar), but am concerned about knocking my melon on it all the...
