1990 Mazda Miata. Changed out the timing belt yesterday and in the process got the cams off. Had the cams clamped in place and tied together but the wrenches slipped. I know, should of also marked the gears. After getting the belt on we aligned it by the cam marks but it seems to be running...

It's brake service time. I plan to put rebuilt calipers on with new pads and new rotors. I am leaning towards OEM on both but am thinking about Hawk pads. What'cha running for brakes, and what did the rotors and pads cost? Also, if anyone has a set of either rotors and/or pads gathering dust, I...

My '96 has a horrendous exhaust rattle - I did the rubber mallet thing and it seems to be coming from the cat, the front resonator, or both... hard to tell. The PO put a Flying Miata system on, I think a catback (front resonator is not rusty, stainless?, dual-tip not-rusty muffler is labeled Flying...

hi, the speed3 came out in 07, right? all speed3 are hatchbacks? in the previous years, there was the "s" option which offered a turbo, (right?), what are the differences in the "s" and the speed3? what i would like to look at is

So I bought a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and now I need to sell the 97 NA... But I wanted to ask some other MSM owners a few questions...to start off, have you had any problems? Mine has 52,000 miles on it, was a lease vehicle so I think it was dealer maintained. The only thing I have noted thus far...

Well, wih the hard top on over the winter, the oem speakers in my '97 Miata M Edition showed their age. I have replaced them with Infiniti speakers in both the doors and the headrests this past weekend, and the improvement in sound quality is remarkable. Especially in the headrests, the sound is...

I have replaced the front heated oxygen sensor with a Mazda new unit to fix a fault consistent with the P1135 indicator and I have cleared the engine code/CEL. However, whenever I wind up the engine above 4000 RPMs, the engine light, the P1135 code and 2 sensor indicators (whatever that is)...

Ok, so I've been talking for the last couple of years about doing my shocks, and this year I fianlly had the money to do it. I went back and forth on doing it myself, but in the end I decided to do it. So I did the rears with not too much trouble, except that I had to wait for a shock boot to be...

There sounds to be a mouse convention under the front wing. I presume it's bushings. What lube will sort it out without damaging rubber? Morien

I imagine a custom lug lock would be best, but does anyone have a recommendation? JJ

2001 Mazda Miata SE Hi , We drove it 3 days ago , no problems. Went to take it for a drive today , engine turns over , radio & electrical items are working but engine won`t start. Am clueless when it comes to cars. Father in law says might be fuel pump but he knows about as much about cars as I...

As I was putting on my 3rd snow tire this morning, it dawned on me that I needed centering rings for the aftermarket wheels that my snow tires are on. Some places sell poly carbonate rings, some places sell aluminum ones. Since they're supposed to bear most of the weight of the car, I would think...

I just got back from the Mazda dealer where they replaced the battery in the '97 Miata. That's the third battery in three years. The car belongs to my son who's stationed in Hawaii and could only take one vehicle with him. I drive it once a week, usually about 16 miles. It does okay in the...

Probably everyone is still in a haze, weary eyed trying to pass liscense tests in the new GT4 but hey ya'all, did you catch that Mazda did the unvieling today. At 11:30 am central time (US). The intro was pretty cool on the live feed, little small and hard to see much but cool to witness it live....

Hi all- How does the T1-S (195/55-14) compare with the Yoko ES100 (195/60-14) for Miata? Particularly are the Yoko's stiffer in the sidewall? Treadwear differences? I'm confident either tire will perform well both wet and dry pavement. I know everyone loves the T1-S... and I'm leaning...

Any recommendations for a roll bar for a Mazdaspeed Miata? JJ
