Seems simple enough. My 2006 came with two sets of mats -- the carpeted sort and the rubber sort. Both of them proved to be total rubbish with the rubber wearing through in the matter of a six months and the carpeted in eighteen. Typical wear pattern is a hole where my right heel sits. So now I...

I have a 2000 Mazda Miata. I see references to MK I, MK II and MX-5. Can someone tell me what the differences are? And if they would know what I have (i.e. can you tell by the year or is there other differences). I know its a dumb question, but I thought I'd take a chance and ask.... Thanks

Hi all, my Mx5 (91 Vspec) has (well, had now) an after market roll bar fitted (not a stylebar, this thing is steel, braced and heavy), basically it was fitted ot the seat belt towers, and braced to the a bracket mounted on the parcel deck, it was fitted by the previous owner, years before I bought...

I'm less that thrilled with my new top, yesterday I found the rear window was coming unglued, the same problem that "mdginzo" posted Aug. 8th. Mine lasted from 9/6/07 to 9/10/07 or maybe not, I noticed it last night but it could have begun separating sooner than that? Robbins is sending a new...

I have a 1990 Miata 1.6l. The compressor is failing and the new ones are too expensive so looking at a used one. The guy at Partsgroup said that I can use one all the way up to 1999 and it will still fit with no modifications or troubles. Has any one done this or knows if this will work? Just...

Second time in four years. I don't know why I only seem to get 3-4 years out of a Westco, when I hear people get 5-7 years. Is my result really atypical?

My daughter has a 3 year old (UK) MX5. If reversing with lowish revs the car judders. Is it the sign of a problem? -- Regards John

Just looked at a 1990 white Miata, 49K original miles, 2nd owner. 60K service has been done. New Panasport rims and Kuhmo tires (16"). Hella lamps, shock tower brace, front and rear underbody suspension stiffeners. New battery (the right kind). White guage faces with blue/green adjustable...

I've been told that a complete top and frame assembly out of an NB will bolt right into an NA. Has anyone here done this? Is it true or did you have to modify the frame, car, both? Dennis B. Swaney remove .zz to reply

I find that when starting my 1999 NB 1.8 it takes about a second before the engine fires up. Or to put in different words it takes just slightly long enough for me to notice and think "Huh!". This seems to be regardless of ambient temperatures and only if the car has been out running within the...

Suddenly, my check engine light sporadically comes on.....but the car drives great. Any ideas? Oh, yes, my gas cap is on tight :) ~Cissy :-)

Hey Guys, (especially Leon, Iva & Lanny) Nice to see you're all still here. I've got a bunch of questions to ask and would like your input (more than just 'look it up.') Mostly I'd like to rekindle old friendships. Ephar & Bambi The Original Winkin' Miata

Just another quick post to thank everyone again for their help. I visited my local Mazda dealership today and had the light checked out. Indeed, it is the catalytic converter. You guys just saved me $1500!!!! The warranty will cover the replacement! They didn't ask any questions about how it...

I had a website bookmarked that showed cars around the U.S. from different salvage yards. The site had pictures and a description of what was left on the car and I remember that I could search by category to see only 1990-1997 miatas. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I am having trouble finding...

My 2000 Mazda Protege has abt 27, 000 miles on the spark plugs (copper ones I think). The car seems to be idling rough. Is 27k on a set of plugs abt right? Time to change them out? Also....what abt copper vs platinum plugs. Any real serious advantage to platinum plugs worthy of the extra cost?

I am thinking about purchasing 1990 Mazda Miata with 204k miles. I have always like the Miatas and I thought this would be a cheap way to get one. The car looks great and it is the original owner. Can anyone give me any advice?
