I need a new slave cylinder for my '96 Mazda. $47 for a rebuilt one; $99 for a new one from the dealer. Am I better off with the new one? Thanks, Jim

Just a quick question. I've decided to go with 16" rims on my 95 MX-5 with Yokohama Avid H4S rubber. Question; will 16" screw up my cornering geometry or will it improve it? Other than a harsher ride just cruising, any pitfalls here? Appreciate any input.

I've just watched the Live stream 'reveal' of the third generation MX5 from the Geneva show. It's interesting that the technology can do this but the picture's so small you couldn't see any details, a lot of drummers and a small red car. After keeping the M1 body virtually unchanged for ten years...

My 2nd set of speakers in as many years have packed up, the culprit seems to be water getting in to the door and onto the speakers, (for some reason it always the left that seems worse). I have fitted new rain seals at the top of the doors but it still happens. I have seen that from the factory...

Granted, it has only been four days and 800 miles with the new Corvette but I've already formed some opinions and thought I'd share them with the group. Power is obviously strongly in favor of the Vette. 400HP and 400lbs of torque is just too good not to smile about. Instanteous...

I'm thinking about putting one of those woodgrain kits in the interior of my 2002. Anyone one have any experience?

I have a 1993 Miata. It has recently become impossible to crank start it. However, it starts easily when push started. The Mechanic ran a diagnostic on it and said that the computer shows that the crank position sensor is bad. He then added that doesn't match up with the problem. I can replace...

A couple weeks back, I was rear ended by an 18 wheeler. It's not as bad as that sounds. I was able to drive away, the 18 wheeler had to wait for the repair truck to pull his bumper off his right front tire, so I guess, technically I "won". But it's not something I really want to repeat. Insurance...

The clutch in my '96 Miata went from being fine in the morning to useless at lunchtime. The clutch pedal feels like there is no pressure at all. The reservoir is full, but the fluid looks dark at the bottom. Thanks, Jim

Does anyone here own a Mazda 6 with the 2.3 four cylinder (manual transmission)? If so, can you share with me your thoughts and observations regarding the performance of the motor: does it have a strong feel in acceleration, is highway passing stress free or is it a hair raising event, and etc....

My Miata sadly has to go.....must make way for a new member of the family.... http://www.xs4all.nl/~draycott/mazda.htm If anyone is interested please let me know.

Autoblog reports the new Pontiac Solstice will sticker for less than 20k. $19,995.00 to be exact. http://www.autoblog.com/entry/1234000767031942/ Could this be trouble for sales of the new Miata? Or, are they creating a market for a real sports car, once they get tired of driving what looks...

Ok I have asked already about supercharged/Turbo's Auto Miatas, but it seems no one here has fitted any to an Auto. So has anyone here actually got an Auto?

I'm having an automtoive crisis! After 14 years of blissful Miata ownership, I'm seriously considering going to the dark side of a Corvette. I really like the new C6 coupe but am seriously wondering if within days I'll be regretting a 50K purchase and wanting back my little car. Unfortunately,...

Hi, it's been long time since I've been in here. I have a 90 miata, with a 92 engine (crankshaft failure) that I just replaced the alternator and belt back in December. The temperature would go up when ever I drove above 4000 rpm for more than a few seconds. I assumed that the belt was slipping,...

I'm parting with my red `94. I'm located near Costa Mesa, CA. Must be local buyer, or you arrange for all delivery. The good: looks pretty sharp on the outside. Good interior, a little musty (hasn't been cleaned in awhile), everything there. Daily driver up until last week, was running fast &...

Hi All I have just put Vredestein Sportrac 2 185 60 14 82V all round my 2002 MX5 1.8i. The pressures on the label on the car are 26psi. I ran the Yoko Advan A460 that were on the car at 26psi and they wore reasonably evenly across the tread. The Vredestein site gives a pressure of 220kPa front...

My Son parked his 99 Miatta in my garage when he went over seas for what he and I thought was a 2-3 month trip. It is now 2 years and although at first I would drive the car out of the garage and idle it in the driveway, it has now set idle for the last 6 months. Since the car is titled in his...
