Sunny, mid 50s, light wind, and the roads have been washed clean of sand and salt--a perfect afternoon for the year's first serious top-down jaunt into the Ozarks. We headed south for the Two-hour Loop, about 100 miles that include three of our favorite twisty backroads. The centerpiece, a 10-mile...

....absolutely detested the car! The very last thing I expected is the car would hurt, the seat put a pain in my back that still hasn't gone away, the throttle position caused enough pain in my ankle to where I had to use the cruise control and the left hand cup holder, the one built into the door...

For a couple of years now, Audi and Toyota have duked it out over who could design the ugliest front end ever put on an automobile but now Mazda has joined the fray with the Mazda 6! Certainly a contender, it's hideousness is worthy of inclusion among the ugliest ever... -- XS11E, Killing...

Please excuse the brief intrusion of a Honda enthusiast in your forum! I run the FAQ for rec.autos.makers.honda and over the past couple of months we have been getting the usual spate of questions about hot weather starting problems. This is a known Honda foible and we have the answer ready....

My winter vehcile has given up the ghost and I am considering driving my 2000 Miata in the winter now. I would obviously put snow tires on it but can anyone comment on how it handles in the snow and ice? Would be much appreciated. Thanks

I am parting out a 1990 white miata, and spark plug #3 is badly stripped at the part where the spark plug attaches to the socket, not the thread that the spark plug itself goes into. The spark plug is completely stripped, and the part of the plug that the spark plug wire boot attaches to is broken...

Hi everyone, I was driving "Maggie Mae" (My 'new' '01 Miata) this evening and my best girl posed a very thought provoking question. She asked 'with all the crossover (Rebranded / rebadged) cars that Ford & Mazda make (Explorer-Navajo, MX6-Probe, 323-Laser, Escape-Tribute, etc etc) why...

Hi Guys I know this is a Miata forum but its also the only ram. forum for mazda. I'd just like to know what is involved in replacing the waterpump on the above car? I'd like to do it myself and save money on labor if its not too tricky and I can do it with the typical do-it-yourselfer...

I'm afraid my 1990 is not going to get as much TLC as I'd originally planned. Taking the race driving course at Laguna Seca has changed my priorities, and so I've bought this: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/23487697@N07/sets/72157631147132016/> A 1989 Van Diemen RF89 (with RF90 front...

what's the going rate for a '97

I have had a Mk 1 import for the last 10 years. Recently, somehow, water is getting into the car (yes I have got the roof up) following heavy rain and I can hear it sloshing around under the floor on the passenger side. I have checked that there are no blocked drain holes but can't find any drain...

Is there a way to cancel out the airbag light? I have a 1991 miata the car was previously in a frontend colision prior to my ownership. I am looking to restore the car to its glory. However the airbag light stays on due to an aftermarket momo steering wheel that was installed "junk". If...

A friend gave me a Garmin emap GPS from 1991. It's old but it works. Anyway, I would like to upgrade to a more modern one, I can actually still sell this for about $80.00 to help offset the cost. I would rather have a hand-held unit, and I won't try to program it while driving. This would...

....on new wheels and tires. I couldn't find the combination of extreme lightness and price that I would have liked in 16" rims for my 1990 Miata, so I accepted that 15" was going to be the way to go. So I've just ordered four 949 Racing 15x7.5 6ULs with Toyo T1Rs in 195/50 and all the extra...

Have a strange AC issue. 1990 Miata. New compressor, expansion valve, pressure switch, drier. All gauge values look good. Run it for a while, no set time. Then it will just stop and the rpm's will jump up to around 2000. can hit the switch and turn of the ac and the rpm's go back to normal. ...
