Overheating Miata by
Barbie
I have a '96 Mazda Miata with a cooling problem. In December of 2005
the radiator started spewing antifreeze and Firestone put a new
radiator in. A few months later I took it to an air conditioning place
for freon.
The radiator worked for several months and then one day I heard a
'boiling' type...

92 Mazda MVP -V6 3.0 by
barrelfrosty
I know this is not a Miata, but its a Mazda. Need Help. The starter went
out, replaced it. The Minivan sat for 2 months, not it will not start. It
will hit, but will not run. The fuel pump was replaced about 6 months to 1
year ago. New timing belt and pulleys about 6mo to 1 year ago. Any ideas??

Cracks in soft top by
Barry
The tan vinyl top on my 1999 Miata has developed a small (about 1/4 inch)
crack on each side where the top folds, just above the window. The top
doesn't seem to leak yet. Can anyone recommend some kind of goop that will
seal the cracks and stay flexible enough to withstand the folding?

question: how feasible is an auto to manual transmission swap on a(n) NA? by
barry
there is a '90 for sale at a great price due to it being an automatic
and the tranny is sticking and staying in 2nd gear. so i wonder about
the practicality/lack thereof of doing a switch given that the tranny
has to come out anyway. and if we went to a manual, might as well
lighten the flywheel,...

Tires for a conservative driver by
Barry
I'm getting close to replacing my original Michelin Pilot SX-GT tires, which
have about 50,000 miles. While I probably drive slightly faster and more
aggressively than the average Camry or Taurus driver, I'm pretty conservative
for a Miata driver. In the winter I put on Blizzaks, and while they...

this past weekend, i had the misfortunate of running the front of my

is supposed to signify,...

magnets on fuel line by
barry
i recently added a magnetic system to my 1990 (approaching 199K this
week) in an attempt to improve mileage. (the basic premise is that if
you magnetize the fuel positively and the air negatively (or vice
versa), they'll remain combined after compression in the chamber
resulting in a more efficient...

starting after being parked for about two hours. The engine ran very rough,
almost stalling, with the check engine light flashing. I checked the...

Toyo T1-R by
Barry
I need tires and was planning to get the Toyo T1-S, but my local shop said
that they are no longer available and have been replaced by the T1-R. Does
anyone out there have any experience with these? In particular, is the ride
as good as the T1-S?
