supercharger by
ron[_1_]
Anyone got suggestions on which supercharger I should place on my '02
Miata? Mine is the LS model with 26,000 miles. It is stock with no
modifications. The Jackson seems price competitive, but I am open to
suggestions. Thanks. Ron

Removing Wax from Pock-Marked Hood by
KKennedy
My beloved '99 has a seriously pock-marked hood and front fenders.
Meteorite damage, I am sure. I did not become truly aware of this until I
waxed the car and was left with white wax speckles all over these surfaces.
Any thoughts on how to remove them? Such as a wax stripper?

DIY Randall Cowl Air Intake by
G. Mack
http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4528&parentid=0&stocknumber=05-27000
I've read good things about this intake. But looking at the picture,
it seems like a very easy DIY project. Beside not being able to use
carbon fiber, all one has to do is cut a hole in the firewall and
attach an air...

27k miles on spark plugs abt right? by
[email protected]
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?

driving question, re oversteering by
~Mike Hollywood
Hi,
Suppose you're driving on asphalt.
In a rear wheel drive car like the miata, if you go into a turn too fast,
and
the back starts to slide, what's the safest way to correct? I'm pretty sure
you want to stay off the brakes because that would throw more weight
forward and lighted rear traction...

How to drive a Momentum Car like a Miata? by
G. Mack
I was over at Thunderhill a week ago. One of the instructors said
that my line was perfect for a big horsepower car.
My question is, how does someone driving a Miata "think" about driving
around a turn?
Also, if someone can recommend a book that gives insight to driving a
momentum car, I would...

Here's where you and your Miata are! by
Chris D'Agnolo
If ya'll knew how much fun I had seeing how wide reaching this group really
is well, you just wouldn't believe it. I can say that I'm still trying to
figure out why Miata folks tend to be so ......'special' (I won't elaborate
as some heads might inflate and foil my theory). I have a theory and I...

'92 Miata, surging problem, 85,000 miles. by
~AlicGinnis~
Hi,
I bought this car used 2 years ago. It had been left out under a tree, and
the drain line from the fuel filler well was clogged. Rain overflowed the
well and went into the gas tank. The seller drained the tank, and got it
going. I put some alcohol fuel treatment in it a couple of times...

Overheating despite new parts by
Garrett Gman
My black 1994 miata has an overheating problem that I cannot
diagnose. Most of my driving is on the highway, where the car does
not overheat. But if I get caught in stop and go traffic or city red
lights after driving across town on the highway, the needle begins to
rise above the halfway mark...

I've been driving between Tampa and New Jersey every 2 weeks for the

my life has been a bit scattered.
I love the drive because I love the car. I owned a mint condition 85

Cost for crank angle sensor by
spasmous
I have a Mazda Protoge 1994 model which failed to start, so I took it
to the garage. They told me the problem is the crank angle sensor and
that no-one makes that part - I have to replace the distributor which
is 450 dollars plus labor/tax making 650 in total. When working(!) the
car is worth 1200...

Brake and Rotor questions by
[email protected]
I have searched the past posts but still have some questions.
What is the avg mileage for brakes and rotors before they need
replacing? I realize this varies but is there a ball park number?
Is it better to do the rear first or front first or does it even
matter?
Does the type of rotor matter? ...

Help me decide: MX-5 PRHT or BMW Z-4 by
Herm
I test drove an MX-5 (PRHT) today and it was great. MX-5 is a little more
snug fitting than the Z-4 (in the cockpit as well as about half the trunk
space) and the ride is smoother (less choppy) in the Z-4. I live in PA and
the roads suck. This will be a summer fun car - stored in the...

Miata transmission issue by
[email protected]
Just this last Saturday, I was driving along and started having an
issue with shifting down from 3rd to 2nd. It is like the syncro is
completely gone for that shift. I can shift down without grinding the
"old school" way, but just trying to pull it into gear it grinds as if
I were trying to...

Believe it or not? by
Leon van Dommelen
This one seems hard to believe, not?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070207/sc_nm/cars_fuel_ford_dc
Although the Dutch are the most reliable people, who would be
unlikely to make a claim that was not fully warranted
scientifically.

1999 Miata - Gasoline odor inside the car by
Pat Dreiding
In the mornings when I get in the Miata, I smell the distinct odor of
gasoline. The car is garaged. No spills detected.
I checked under the hood and did not smell anything so I'm assuming that the
source is not in the engine compartment.
My next assumption was a small leak in the gasoline supply...

Last night I found I had a broken headlight on the 1992 MX5. On my way
home I stopped at a couple of places to get a new one and found
AutoZone was out and their computer showed their other nearby stores
were also out.
I headed across the street to Walmart and found one there, they had
