Looking for an inexpensive muffler that has that sweet low-end grunt -- similar to a two-piper. Yes, I do know about the Jackson's, but is there something out there for less dough? -- peer

Someone had posted the answer to this but I lost it. My transmission will have a chirping noise when it's sitting in N and idling. If I push the clutch in (even just a tiny bit) the noise stops. I know I have to just grease something under the car but I can't remember what it was. Now that the...

Looking for a nice set of polished 5 spokes like the 10ae came with, or the 2000 special edition. Aftermarket is okay too if they look similar. if you have some to sell email me at randyf&gmail.com (replace & with @) I'm in the Las Vegas area btw. Thanks.

Hallo, i need photo of the muffler of a '90 Miata. I have a '90 Miata from USA, that have a big terminal muffler. I don't like it, it seems to me too big, about the doubble size of a 2000 Miata. I don't know if this is the original one or a aftermarket. Does someone have a photo of the original...

A while back, someone answered a question about clutch squeal and attributed it to a serpentine belt. I bought a shop manual and can't find anything about a belt associated with the clutch. Can someone help?

How the heck do these things work with a glass window? I've got an almost new top on my 1992 with the zippered window and I really can't see how the no zipper type would allow the top to be lowered. Can someone explain it or do I need to go pester the dealer to show me one? BTW, as I said, my...

So I am feeling quite smug yesterday having swapped out the original top on my 97 with a top from an 02. Found the 02 top at the junkyard still on the frame with so the entire job took a little over 2 hours. The 02 top was already off the car and I have never been inside a 2nd generation so...

My daughter has called to say her light is on. I am confident that all levels are fine and it is running smoothly - from Googling around it appears to mean some sort of emission equipment fault. Is it true that disconnecting the battery for a few minutes will re-set the light? If it comes on again...

I am looking for specific recommendations for a solar battery charger, preferably one that plugs into the cigarette lighter. And, does plugging an s.b.c. into the lighter work when the car is switched off?

What I have: (1) Red 90 Miata base model, 162K miles, bone stock except for an Alpine cassette deck and electric antenna. Factory hard top included. This car is in great shape for it's age. The paint is original, so it's a bit faded. It does need a new soft top, and the headrest speakers went...

-- Hi My 2002 Mazda 626 Emergency Brake does not work. WHen I park and pull up the handbrake, it won't stick. The brake comes right back down. I guess something is wrong after I drove over a big pot hole. I wonder what could go wrong with it. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks for your...

This could be almost as much fun as a Miata for long distance traveling: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4715652508&fromMak eTrack=true

How many of you are still on the original Miata battery?? Please state the year. of your Miata. Mine is a 2000 MX5. Still seems to work. Has always turned over what sounds like a tad slower than my other two vehicles. But the same as from day one, so I consider that normal. Only fire mine up about...

Some red-light cameras are employed as safety devices. We have a few here at historically-dangerous intersections, and they have helped. However, in the more typical situation, the company that makes the camera system approaches a local government and makes them an offer they find difficult to...

No, I haven't lost it yet (although my exwife will argue that) I mean I'm leaving. The Miata and I are off to California tomorrow AM to see my sister. Her birthday is March 17th and she's going to be 18 (again, she's been 18 several times before!). The Miata is loaded with 1. Her new (I just...

No, it is as simple as the clutch "slave" cyl. Check the fluid first, then if you go under the car by the right front wheel, you will fine the "slave cyl." by the starter. Pull the rubber boot back, if it is wet, you just need to repair it ( new one or rebuild it your self. ) Go to Miata.net and...

I would appreciate any tips on how to remove the cylinder/lock from the glove compartment latch. The glove box latch was broken by a thief. A replacement glove box latch was easily obtain from Mazda ($15) and only requires three screws for installation (easily accessible from the inside of the...
