Cars are a big investment. Since buying a car is relatively a long- term investment, many people want to make an informed decision about the latest prices of all models of cars before deciding on any one. Car prices are likely to change quite often, depending on the market conditions, introduction...

Everyone in Arizona and California can disregard the forecast, I have to drive to the left coast on Tuesday so yesterday I bought new wiper blades for the Miata. We all know it won't rain if you have new wiper blades.... ;-) -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet...

Hi, I got confused from the picture in the manual and the actual oil sending unit. the one I have is quite small while the picute in the manual shows a much larger one. my jobber says that the one i have is for a indicator lite rather than for gauge, (which we all know the miata has). indeed,...

Anybody know a source for door speakers for a 1992 Miata that don't cost $200/pair like at Crutchfield? Thanks.

errrr hi, any tricks to torque the crank bolt on a 95 w/o the special service tool? thanks, peter

How practical would it be for someone who knows transmissions to change 6th gear in my 2005 MX-5 to be more of a highway overdrive gear, say 2500 rpm at 60mph rather than stock 3000 rpm. Seems such a waste of rpms to be cruising along at 3000 rpm when my 2001 Eldorado can do it at 1500 rpm and get...

hi, i may have the chance to trade doing a 91 1.6 timing belt for some upholstery work. clearly i have done the 1.8 timing belt a few times :), is there any thing vastly different doing the 1.6? i think it would be a good idea to do the water pump at the same time. but other than that, is the...

I figured I would ask here before heading over to the Toyota newsgroups. The car is a 1994 Camry, with approximately 170,000 miles. It has been squealing from the belt area, and I thought it was the A/C compressor pulley. Wrong pulley, this is the main drive pulley. The belts came off and the...

Cut-to-fit hoses. Total crap. I bought them from Autozone(I know, you may commence insulting me now...) when I was doing the water pump/ timing belt job on my 97 NA. I needed new hoses, the originals were a little crusty looking and I wanted to drive the car. I noted when I was installing them that...

Right retractable headlight won't open. Live in the Northeast and the car has been out playing in heavy rain in recent days. What is my progression order for troubleshooting? These come to mind: 1) Look for obstructions preventing headlight from opening (sticks, leaves) 2) Disconnect, then...

I have a window protector for my '97 Miata and it has worked well. Last week, I let a friend borrow the car and when he put the top down, he put the window ON the protector instead of IN the protector. My window now has four vertical imprints from the leather cover. I've tried Blue Magic...

I have new rotors and pads on all four corners yet my brakes seem soft. They certainly work, but they don't have the bite that brakes on a new car have. What do I need to replace to get that authoritative bite that braking on a new car has? Master cylinder, new hoses front and rear? ...

My 99 now has ~81k and the CEL came on the other day. I checked the code and it indicates the #2 O2 sensor (down stream from the cat) is not sending a signal. I scooted under the car and fiddled around with it a bit. I saw where it into the interior of the car through the floor board behind the...

I saw over on google that there was a discussion about this several years ago. I seem to be getting the same error, but with different symptoms. Mine is not at high rev but every once in a while it will do it when I first start the car. Often after only a short time since shutting it down. ...

I'm a yutz when it comes to automotive repair so please bare with me. 95 MX with 95K. It's had pretty good maint during it's life. Turns over with less than one rev of the engine. However, after driving 4-5 miles, it spits and sputters. Keeping the peddle to the floor, it eventually catches for...

all, I am considering a replacement top for my '97 miata. I want one that has a glass rear window. I want to be able to opent he top without un zipping the rear window. does anyone have any recommendations. also, how much should i expect top pay to have it installed?

Yesterday I found the rear window had separated from the top again, this is the second time. Robbins replaced the top in September so it's been 10 months, that's good, the first top only made it a couple of days. It's this...

According to the repair manual, it should be under the dash on the left side, but I sure can't see anything that looks like a fuse block. Can anybody confirm the location of the fuse block in a 2003? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! PARDON me, am I ...

no message traffic for three days. anybody there? thanks...

I have an overwhelming gas smell inside the car. Tank hasn't been overfilled and the cap is good. Been this way for a while. Just now getting around to trying to fix it. Any ideas?
