WARNING: This post serves no purpose other than to rant and rave. Last night we went to our first antenatal class. Nice, small group (5 couples), all very friendly, how nice. As we all left I saw parked behind my MX5, back-to-back so to say along the curb, one of those ludicrously huge SUVs. I...

There have been several threads lately about wheel sizes, but I'm a bit in the dark as to what difference wheel diameter makes. I seem to remember hearing that changing wheel diameter doesn't necessarily change spedometer accuracy. If that's the case, then the tire thickness (rim to road) must be...

I have a intermittent problem with my 2000 miata, intermittently runs bad misses terribly then clears up just as fast. I have had the Mazda dealer tune it up, plugs, wires fuel filter but it still does it. It has a P0420 cat efficiency code in it when this happens. I have never been able to get it...

Question on the primary fan. 1990 Miata. Primary fan sometimes does not come on when engine temp reaches midrange on gauge like it should. almost overheats if I don't turn on the ac, when turn on the ac both fans come on like they are suppose too. just wanted to see if anyone has had this happen...

Hey all, I hope it's not a faux pas to pass this type of thing on, but Finish Line Performance (aka Rosenthal Mazda) has a $10 coupon promo good thru the end of Feb. Follow the link (watch line wrap): http://www.finishlineperformance.com/cgi-bin/shopper? preadd=action&key=MISCGIFT They're a...

I had a high speed interface with a hole in the road a few weeks ago which bent a wheel. I decided to buy a scrap wheel and have them all refurbished. I took them to a local place, the guy gave me them back a week later. Yesterday I took them all to my local tyre shop to have 2 of my tyres...

Ik ga mijn miata verkopen. Voor alle info kijk hier: http://mx5.gasoline.nl

Why? This: I ordered a clutch from Good-Win-Racing on Sunday May 6. At that time I ordered it, it didn't say a word about being a special build-to-order product. Then when I received notification that my shipment had arrived, the clutch was there.

I have been trying to find a detailed list of everything that is serviced during a 100,000 mile check-up for a 1992 Mazda Miata to no avail. Does anyone have any information that may be helpful? Thank You. M.

Hi all, Just bought a '96 with 45M on it. Fun car! (And that's at 10 degrees... can't wait for summer. :) After about 20 min of driving I get a misfire on accelleration... the car idles fine, runs a steady speed fine, but when I push on the gas (moderately) it "stutters" for a bit, mostly in the...

I've read reviews of the 2006 Miata, woops MX-5 that talk, maybe exaggerated, of it being new from the ground up, nuts and bolts included. My question is, has anyone read the reasons behind such a drastic redesign? Why would the designers mess with a great car with a reliability record that is so...

I used to own a Miata and traded it in a year or so ago for a more practical new vehicle but it was an awesome fun car. I was wondering if anybody else had experienced other guys thinking that a Miata is an effeminate car? I guess the size makes it seem girlish to them, like a motor bike would?...

Read in a few places that the 94 1.8 is limited at 7000RPM. Mine seems to spin a bit further than this, looks like 7200 on the tacho. Anyone confirm what it really is?

My 1996 Miata's parking brake does not work. I relpaced the cable running from the equalizer to the rear caliper on one side, thinking that was the problem. Then I tightened the cable at the brake lever. It still does not work. With the car jacked up by the rear differential, I took the...

My 1991 Miata has 113K miles, the ride is not as smooth as use to be, little bumps sound like something big, I guess it's time for new Shocks, I read quite a few post about Shocks/Struts but still not sure which one to buy, do I need something else beside shocks, what is fair price to get it...

Well, I'm almost posting this just because there hasn't been enough activity here lately ;-) Come on guys, there is interesting stuff (miata related) going on out there, right? Anyway, this is OT I guess but since there's nothing On Topic going on, I consider it a free pass. Tomorrow I'm...

Hellloo My wife has a bum knee and needs an automatic. I'm looking to trade for a 99-?? with an automatic. The 2000 I have has 24.6k miles and runs and looks great. It has a 6speed,merlot color w tan top,and Bose sound system plus all the other goodies that are standard on a Special Edition. I live...

My tire dealer tells me Toyo is out of stock in this size. Toyo's web site doesn't seem even to list it. They seem to be scarce. If these are going out of production what is a reasonable alternative? I guess I could upgrade to 15 inch wheels, but who knows how long they'll make the 195/50/15?

I have a '92 Black and Tan and need to replace the plugs. When we bought the car a little over 3k ago we were told the plugs had just been replaced. But now I want to swap them and was wondering if some of you would share your thoughts as to the best ones to get. I have used split fires on a...

Have a 2000 Mazda Protege ES.... built in Japan. I'm going to attempt to change the spark plugs myself but have no idea if the actual plugs themselves in this vehicle require a metric wrench! If one buys say Autolite or whatever plugs.... is the hex head on them metric as well and therefore...
