215/40-R16 Yokohama S.Drive tires by
Alan Baker
on 16x7 or 16x8 rims.
The tires are 19 lbs., and I'm looking for rims that weigh less than 15
lbs--preferably less than 14.
Why the S.Drives? They seem very well regarded as all-around performance
tires, but are rated particularly well in wet traction...
....and I do live in Vancouver.

Solstice is huge by
Scott Streeter[_4_]
I have not seen one of these up close until today when one was in the
work parking lot. It's huge compared to my NB. The 18" wheels didn't
help either. It's a good looking car in itself but I thought this was
suppost to be a Miata competitor...? Top sucks too. :P

Perhaps I should buy a Miata? by
[email protected]
i'm sure pretty much every answer i get here will be *slightly* biased
since this is a miata usenet group, but here we go... my '91 Honda CRX
probably threw a rod about a week ago and i've been scrambling for cash
to either repair or replace it.
i haven't actually been able to talk to him just yet...

Visited yesterday! by
XS11E[_3_]
I visited my 1992 Miata yesterday at the shop, it's original paint is
almost completely removed and most of the prep work is done so it can
be painted today. They didn't plan to strip the car but when they
tried to sand it, huge chunks of paint flaked off revealing no primer
beneath (typical...

High Test Gas by

I'm considering buying a 2005 Miata LS. Is it true that I will need to use
premium gasoline?

Off Topic question by

Warning: Off Topic!
This group has been dormant for a while. Here is a bit of an armchair
challenge for all you car enthusiasts:
A friend of mine got a new job, driving to various company facilities

Miata Front License Plate holder by
Bitu
I personally believeall this crap is a matter of collecting more
revenue. Police officer operated speed traps are being replaced by
speed light cameras and red light cameras at an alarming rate.
If is as advertised this product called PHOTO BLOCKER SPRAY is our
salvation. They claim that it was...

I'm OFF! by
XS11E
No, I haven't lost it yet (although my exwife will argue that) I mean
I'm leaving. The Miata and I are off to California tomorrow AM to see
my sister. Her birthday is March 17th and she's going to be 18 (again,
she's been 18 several times before!).
The Miata is loaded with

Question for the group... by
XS11E
The Miata replaced the BMW R100RT because I'm not able to ride anymore
and can't walk very far due to arthritis in my lower back, knees, hips,
etc..
Because of that, I've got one of those pretty blue handicap tags to
hang on my rear view mirror when I park in a handicap space. FWIW,
Arizona will...

I've been VIOLATED! by
XS11E
My Miata got broken into yesterday, someone got into the passenger side by
removing the tonneau cover. They unzipped the zippers but ripped the snap
studs out of the dashboard, cracking it where the studs screw in. They
opened the glove box and didn't take anything, they opened the center...

Thinking about a hardtop. by
Dave Smith
I'm thinking about getting a hardtop for my '97 and I'm interested in
hearing from those who have them.
How's the interior noise at speed compared to with a softtop?
How much hassle removing/replacing it?
Are they fragile? Heavy?
Any change in the car's handling due to aerodynamics, rigidity,...

New battery. by
XS11E[_3_]
I've reached the point in the life span of my battery when
1. The car will crank enthusiastically and fire right up if driven
daily,
2. It cranks a bit slowly and hesitates, may take a couple of trys to
get it to fire if the car sits for a day
3. It's marginal, maybe a 50/50 chance it'll...

Automatic Miatas by
gixer
Ok I have asked already about supercharged/Turbo's Auto Miatas, but it seems
no one here has fitted any to an Auto.
So has anyone here actually got an Auto?
