Charge light? by
XS11E
My "charge" light doesn't come on, I checked the bulb and checked the
diode on the instrument light circuit board (w/o removing the printed
circuit) and all is OK.
I know the alternator is working by the simple test, start car, turn on
headlights, rev up engine. When the engine revs up the lights...

Cost of a 1.6L long block by
BillBetts
Just got a quote from a San Jose, CA dealer for $3,900 for the factory
rebuilt long block. $1,500 for labor.
Four years ago, I did the same thing. Factory long block replacement
for $2,700 parts and labor.
Seems like I'm getting ripped off.
Anybody done this recently? What did it cost?

And then there's irony... Ideas from symptoms? by
Don Bruder
I can't help but sit here and laugh at myself and/or the irony involved.
Yesterday, some posts to a thread on rec.autos.tech about how great,
reliable, bulletproof, unkillable, etc, etc, etc, Mazda engines are.
Today, mine came home form the paper route on a flatbed wrecker - No,
the engine didn't...

Parking Brake by
Brian
My 1996 Miata's parking brake does not work. I relpaced the cable running
from the equalizer to the rear caliper on one side, thinking that was the
problem. Then I tightened the cable at the brake lever. It still does not
work. With the car jacked up by the rear differential, I took the...

1.8 NB FL brake discs on 1.8 NB? by
Alfa
Is it somehow possible to fit NBFL brake discs (10.9 in front and 11 in
rear) to 2001 NB Miata (Standard 10 in front and 9.9 in rear) without
changing brake calipers? Is there some kind of adapter for calipers to be
able to fit bigger discs?
Thanks!

Q: 60K Service by
solamour
Hello, everyone.
The owner's manual says that I need to replace the timing belt and get
other major services done at 60K miles. What happens if I postpone it
a little, say, 61K miles? Would my car break down in the middle of the
road? I live in California, if that matters at all.

I've got a complete late model doner car that got rear ended and totaled.
I'd like to swap the 1.8 engine, 6 speed tranny, and computer into my 92.
First, am I correct that using the mounts from the doner, the engine and

91 3 window top by
Wreckless Eric
Hello,
I replaced my the original top on my Miata with a 3 window
Robbins top about 7 years ago (the original had died).
It's time to replace my current top, but I'm having trouble
finding a 3 window top, which I prefer for the lack of blind
spots and the top lies better with my rollbar.

Timing Belt Pics at 16 years and 128,000 miles by
pws
I tore apart a 1.6 liter engine from a 1990 model with 128,000 miles and
decided to just cut the timing belt off.
The tensioners were going bad, the spring was rusty, and the water pump
was badly gunked up, but this original 16 year old belt looks like it
would have gone a lot longer.
It is very...
