I just came across a link to the 2010 MX5 remodel on jalopnik.com: http://www.km77.com/00/mazda/mx-5/2009/g01.asp I think it's an improvement over the current version, which always looked a little awkward to me.

I like my MSM so much that I'm actually going to do my own maintenance. And also, make plans for next summer when the warranty runs out. I just ordered some books on Amazon (see below). Anyone know of any other good ones? One called "The Enthusiast's Shop Manual" looked very good but seemed more...

I was driving to work a while ago and noticed the car was pulling to the right. As it turned out, the right front tire was flat and had a running crack all around the sidewall. I don't know if the tire was low for a while or whether I had run over something that morning. But with the 40 series...

I have no problems with my 04 MSM's handling in any way, and I would not like to screw it up in any way, but I do find the gearing to be awfully short. I would like to decrease the effective gearing on the car by changing the tires from 205/40/17 to 205/45/17. There's pretty decent midrange torque...

My recently purchased 04 Miata has the famous 65mph shimmy, though it seems worst at 70-72mph. I bought the car anyway, just because it's so perfect in every other area I figured I could live with it if I had to. I mentioned the problem to one of my co-workers who has a lot of muscle cars and the...

There seems to be a running joke but I don't know what it's referring to.

04 Mazdaspeed with ~16k miles, grey. All I was intending to do was go to the dealer with my golf clubs to see if they'd fit. They did, barely. Test drove it for a couple of hours, could not get the smile off my face. It's a peppy little thing. I'm sure you guys know the feeling. I paid 15,600,...

Hi all, I found some parts a while back cleaning out the garage. The members have been so helpful to me when I had problems with my old Miatas. As the subject says I have a OEM tan wind blocker and tan half-tonneau cover from my old 01 Miata LS for sale. I'd like $50.00 plus shipping for the...

Hi all, It's a beautiful weekend here in SW Louisiana. The temps are down in the 70s and it's definitely tops down driving weather. We took our '07 PRHT out for a drive last night and had a blast. The new exhaust / mufflers make a nice deep rumble now. Not loud just deep. :-) I found some...

I have three Bridgestone Turanza ER30 205/45/16 tires that I no longer need. They have 8800 street miles on them. One has a tiny nail in it. The nail has been there for over a year and the tire has never lost air. These are the factory supplied tires. I destroyed one (the missing 4th!) and was...

I bought my precious Miata in February 2004 new from Jeff Haas. It was murdered by a red light runner in August when it was barely 7 months old. The boot cover is all that's left - it was in the garage at home when the brutal attack occurred. It makes me sad to see it now. So it's for sale - $175...

I just got an email from my local Mazda sales guy John Griffin @ Jeff Haas in Houston that they have a 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 that they've marked down from $26,020 to $18,999. It's a this one and this one only cause its been there too long offer if anyone is in the market. He wrote to me because...

Looking for advice on a recent problem --- I have a 2000 Miate which started running horrible all of a sudden -- check engine light on steady and then flashing and then on steady again. Spoke to my mechanic's assistance and was told to drive it to his place but watch for oil pressure guage and...

Just another quick post to thank everyone again for their help. I visited my local Mazda dealership today and had the light checked out. Indeed, it is the catalytic converter. You guys just saved me $1500!!!! The warranty will cover the replacement! They didn't ask any questions about how it...

I just bought half a tank of gas at a new "Valero" station... when I looked at the tank and read the sign that said 'Contains Ethanol' I stopped pumping and crossed my fingers. I have a 2005 and don't know if Miatas like ethanol or not. Any knowledge out there on this? Do I need to worry? Should...

I loved my Miata with grand abandon until a total freaking rat ******* idiot ran a red light and killed it two weeks ago. (Pics at www.aintchicken.com ) Luckily I lived. Now I'm looking for listings for 2003 Miata, dark green, manual, base plus convenience package, 5,900 miles, perfect condition...

Have a trailer hich for Mazda Miata for sale. 1 1/4' receiver with draw bar. No drilling needed, fits perfectly under car, barely visible. Used it for hitch mount bicycle rack. Sold new for $175, asking $75 plus shipping. Fits up to 1999, I think. Was on 1994.

I was up in Austin again this weekend. It was too cold on Saturday to drop the top but that didn't keep me, the dog, and my Miata off Lime Creek. Great drive! Only encountered two other cars on the way out and only one other (and it was a Miata, too!) on the way back. While I never made it up on...

Now don't go thinking nasty things about sequins and leather. Although this did end up nasty for my steering wheel. I swear it's the cutest skirt. It's black with all these white swirling paisleys all over it. A bunch of the paisleys have lovely little silver sequins sewn onto them. So far so...
