OK I have about 3K miles on my T1-S now, 2000 M2, 195/55-14's. I posted the alignment numbers a few months ago. They were reasonably close to the recommended numbers but with max neg. camber on the front (one side worse than the other). @29psi the tires definitely can grip and I've adjusted to...

Found it! You've really got to see this one, it's a great Top Gear show. There's great historical references and even some old racing footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEvw5zD_da8&mode=related&search= Enjoy! Chris Long live the NB-- 99BBB

What is the typical cost for having a dealership change out the timing belt?

....what do you guys like? My going in position is the FM 2.5 kit as from everything I've heard it is a suspension that is suitable for spirited street driving and at least passable should I ever get around to doing any autocross. Since I live in Vancouver, and some of the roads around here are...

Looks like the real deal. http://www.channel4.com/4car/gallery/spy-shots-2004/M/mazda-mx-5/mx-5-04-10.html -- Scott Streeter http://www.wpi.edu/~ss/

hi, i read my cel/mil codes just a couple weeks ago, (o2 sensor was replaced). the lite comes on again but now the data link connector doesnt want to give the codes up, i must have mung it u someway. i tried to "3m" the light green/yellow wire from #10 on the dlc and use a coat hanger to engine...

Dude, dont listen to these guys, your engine is from what I understand the 1.6 DOHC. Try to get any engine from a Mazda Protege LX 1.8 DOHC and the ECM of a Mazda Miata 1.8 and you are golden. After that buy the 1.8 2003 Miata pistons and also the performance camshafts of Mazdaspeed. You will need...

I recently read that many Europeans shutdown their engines at traffic lights to save gas. Am I missing something? If I do the math right my Miata gets 30 mpg on the highway cruising at say 70 mph at about 3000 rpm. So I'm using 2.3 gph or .04 gpm. If I idle at 1000 rpm say I use 1/3 as much gas...

'91 Miata STD. What should the temp be? My temp gauge needle is getting up to about 1/8th of an inch to the left of center. So if Cold was zero and Hot was 100. My temp gauge would be around 45.

Maybe you guys can help me with this before winter gets here!!!!! in the winter i start my car to warm about 5-10 min before i start driving. the thermostat needle (i guess) moves from cold to the middle, so assume it is ready to drive. i will start driving and in about 5 minutes after i start...

Hello, I have a 91 Miata and I love this car. I recently bought my first house and now have a nice garage to store the car in. I drive a beater on rainy days. I am wondering, is there any problem with just leaving the top down overnight or while the car is garaged on those rainy days? Could the...

Over the weekend I fried a red/gray (or black) wire located just to the right of the steering column leading into the center console in my '92 Miata along the bottom of the dashbord. It paralleled a blue wire. My guess is there was a short involving the Viper security system toggle switch, which I...

i have a 1991 mazda miata and when i go to start my car and i press in my clutch the clutch doesnt disengage. when i go to start it it starts to start but rolls back as if clutch pedal wasnt pressed in. it is a stage 1 racing clutch. and i just rebuilt the master cylinder just in case that was the...

Hi Group! Go see the Top Gear guys drive a Miata (and a couple of other lesser cars) recreating the Three Wise Men's trip to Bethlehem! yrs jp

Thank you Chris, I guess I have the 92 special editon black miata with tan top. Thank you so much for clearing this up for me. I love my car. jody

Hi group, I have an alarm lying around that's waiting to secure my Miata from the scum of this world (actually, I don't care about the alarm itself, but it would be nice to have central door locking again). I wonder what would be the best place to mount the main box? The previous one (went...

Is there an engine I can replace in my Miata 1995 in the 200-250 hp range?

I just bought a 1991 Miata SIGHT UNSEEN. ON EBAY. Well not totally sight unseen, but photos. I'm THRILLED. Hubby and I are going to pick it up this weekend... an 18 hour round trip drive! WOW. Hubby works at my dad's body shop and we are going to paint it HOT WHEELS PINK (the new vibrance...

Well, the second set of Michelins on the '06 Sport has come to the end of its useful life at less than 28K miles. Obviously pretty bad tread life. It seems providential that the government wants to give me $600 so that I will feel stimulated. A free new set of tires would be stimulating enough...

This is more out of curiosity than anything else. I just had a friend purge and refill my AC on the 92 with R-12. He has seven twenty pound cannisters of the R-12 that he bought many years ago when they started to phase it out. I was thinking about trying to buy one from him for the local Miata...
