Bless my family and friends! The asked me what I wanted for my 50th birthday and they all came through. I'm going to get a chance to fulfill a long time dream. On June 11, I'll be at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to take the 3 day open wheel race driving course at the Skip Barber Racing School. My...

My '96 died, as I reported earlier. It was dying a slow death, then the engine gave out. I sold the remains today. I suspect it will be junked. I also suspect it would pay somone to put an engine into it. I just wasn't up to it. Tomorrow, I'm flying to LA to complete the purchase of a 2004...

Well, it's been entirely too quiet around here lately. The only really interesting posts I've seen lately on this thread were political (off topic) and as much as I love this groups ability to stay on topic (unlike most newsgroups), it was at least nice to see human communication taking place....

How many of you have had roll bars installed??? I always have thought it strange that they weren't/aren't required. mine is a 2000 Miata MX-5. I have always told my Wife that if we get into a roll over wreck, try to get your head down as low as possible :-).

I have the following OEM Mazda parts microfiche sets for sale. Drop me a line with any questions. Thanks. MAZDA 98 626 Aug-97 MAZDA 00 626 1/02 MAZDA 79 626 Apr-79 MAZDA 79-80 626 Aug-79 MAZDA 81-82 626 Jun-82 MAZDA 83 626 Feb-83 MAZDA 83-84 626 May-84

Lately, as I'm coming to a stop under braking -- particularly if the wheels are turned -- I hear a little clunk or two. My Miata is a 1990, and I'm wondering whether some of the suspension bushings might be breaking down. Any thoughts?

Just for fun, and to see if anyone is still hanging around, I wondering what people's longest, single day 'Miata drive' has been. I'm not talking about jumping on the freeway and heading to a distant city but a drive just for fun. It can include some highway driving (especially if you live in...

hi, i went to look at something in a defunct car dealer's lot which had nylon rope across the driveway. the car easily went under the rope...except the antenna which got yanked out. no big deal, it is easily put back in. however, the threads on the mast unit are plastic and are shot. i tried...

Here is a Road & Track quote: "Is it the best Miata ever? Clearly—but that's like calling What's Going On "a really great Marvin Gaye record." It's more than a great Miata. It's a wake-up call to the people who build cars around the world, a flag thrust defiantly in the faces of the people who...

I just read that modern tires do not risk flat spots, hence should not overinflate for storage. Any opinions? -Phil (not Diane)

Hi Folks. I have not been in here for a long time, but HELP>>LOL. Since the OEM battery, in my 2000 Miata, with less than 44,000 original miles, I have been using the Duralast battery from AutoZone. And since I drive it so very little (Obviously with those miles), I keep a Battery Tender Jr. on it....

Over the years, Mazda has been well known for making overstated claims about the amount of horsepower produced by its Miata engines. I'm wondering if the 2006 model really belts out 170 HP as they claim. I would like to hear from mechanically knowledgeable people on this subject. Thanks for any...

Hello Yellow Miata Lovers I am on a quest to find all the yellow Miatas. I have a pristine 1992 sunburst. Mazda only made 4,800 yellows. Do you own one, or know someone who does? Friend me, Mary Theyellowfinder or follow me on Twitter findtheyellows. Construction of the weareallyellow.com is...

Granted, it has only been four days and 800 miles with the new Corvette but I've already formed some opinions and thought I'd share them with the group. Power is obviously strongly in favor of the Vette. 400HP and 400lbs of torque is just too good not to smile about. Instanteous...

Hello all, I haven't made a post to this board in quite some time, as I've been busy and my Miata hasn't given me any trouble lately :) Unfortunately This past Sunday I was enjoying a drive with the top down when a deer jumped out directly in front of me. The road was slightly wet, as it had...

Recently, i purchased a 1990 Miata with a problem of shifting. At times, out of the blue, it will not go into 1st. gear without turning off the engine. It will also not go into reverse unless i stop the engine. Most of the time it shifts just fine. The transmission engages with the pedal about an...
