Cruise Control by
[email protected]
Good morning from Birmingham, Alabama!! Just got power back on from the
rath of IVAN.
Thinking of adding cruise control to my '97. Would prefer to go stock
versus aftermarket. Although, through the aid of this newsgroup, I have
seen the aftermarket options on miata.net.
If I go stock, can you...

Anyone ever transplant an M2 steering column into an M1 ? by
Chief_Wiggum
Just curious if anyone has ever put a new style column (and wheel) into an
older Miata...
Seems like it would be a pretty easy upgrade, if you found a nice
donor-column Of course, if all the mount points, etc are drastically
different then I guess it WOULDN'T be too easy :)
There's GOT to be a...

LA-area mechanics? by
Kevin Lahey
I recently moved from the Bay Area down to the LA-area (Claremont,
to be specific). I've always taken my Miata to PR Motorsports --
they provide good service at a reasonable (if not discount) price,
are completely trustworthy, and provide heaps of good advice
for free.
I'm looking for a similar...

Autoweek info on the "next" Miata by
Scott Streeter
"Forget the Ibuki concept from Tokyo. The next Miata will carry most of
its own current, svelte lines and some front-end hints from the
RX-8. And it will have piston power, not rotary. It will ride on a
redesign of the current platform too, not an RX-8".

Advice on buying new MazdaSpeed or modifying 93' by
Me
I have a black and tan 93' with about 100k on the odometer. I've loved
having it for the last three years and have toured the country with it
every summer--about 25k's worth of driving. It's pretty loaded, PS,
PW, CC, PM, AC, etc. though I don't really use AC much and don't
really care about power...

Heater Mazda 323 - year of construction is 1993 by
Jeff Hall
Basic heater operation: Engine coolant rises to approx 180 degrees in
engine block. Thermostat opens allowing heated coolant to flow through
system into radiator and heater core (works like a small radiator). Blower
motor fan blows air past heater core thus making heat.

fog light bulb acess? by
Opuawest
Because Miatas are nearly invisible, I like to drive with headlights AND fog
lights on all the time. Problem is, the fogs last less than a year this way
and the manual says "see dealer", which I do, under warantee (it expires
soon!). I have an 02 SE snd it's not obvious how to get into them. ...

Flood damage by

Here in SE PA we had the Delaware river overflow it's banks on Sunday. I

Temp Gauge by
Pat
'91 Miata STD.
What should the temp be?
My temp gauge needle is getting up to about 1/8th of an inch to the left of
center. So if Cold was zero and Hot was 100. My temp gauge would be around
45.

New Miata owner by
Brian Turner
My wife and I just bought a 1999 Miata. We love it so far. I just sold a
1970 VW Karmann Ghia and am switching from the aircooled VW newsgroup to
here, so I am a newbie. My first question is this. When following the car
home after we bought it, we noticed that the speedometer seems to be...

Dire need of Greddy manifold by
DonB
A somewhat odd set of circumstances leads me to seek a new exhaust
manifold for my Greddy-turbocharged '91. First, at 5:30 one morning
while following another vehicle, I noticed (too late) a large chunk of
meat in the middle of the road. It was a well-hit and pulverized
deer. Since my Miata is...

Cruise Control for Mazdaspeed Miata by
Me
If this had been two months ago before I discovered coming out of
Tulsa that yes, the CC in my 93' actually works (don't ask) I wouldn't
be having these qualms. But geez, it took a load off of my foot for
those 2000 miles back to SF. So, the lack of CC on the Mazdaspeed is
bugging me.
Has anyone...

New Top Concern/Issue by
Pat Dreiding
I purchased and installed a cloth top on my 99 miata from Duetto. I did it
myself and it still looks great.
The installation part of the instructions could use some work, just remember
how it went apart and use your common sense.
My concern now is the material/seam that goes across the car about...

Check engine light by
Brian Turner
I just bought a 1999 Miata. The check engine light came on shortly
after I bought it. I determined the that the gas cap was bad and
replaced it. The light did not go off immediately, but went off about
a day later and stayed off. The dealer told me that this is typical.
He said that the...

Boot Cover by
gjt
Group:
My boot cover has been in the truck for quite a while. It is real loose
fitting and won't stay in the groove that holds it on.
Any way to tighten up the fit to put some tension on it to create a
tigher fit?
Thanks,

New Miata Owner Question - Top by
Prometheus7
I just bought a 2002. Although I anguished over the purchase, now I'm
smiling when driving. One question though....how long should I expect a top
to last before needing replacement? I'm not facing that yet, but figure the
day will come.
