Back from the bodyshop - now for wheels and tires.... by
Tim M.[_2_]
Well, I picked up my '97 M-edition Miata from the bodyshop yesterday.
They replaced the left rear quarter panel, the driver's door, the
front left fender, repaired the driver's side rocker panel, and
repainted, restriped, and reassembled the car. Close inspection
reveals no overspray, no tape...

peter
hi,
i got the bonnet rod pivot clip and installed it today. it is a
little item but it was a constant annoyance which i am quite happy to
be rid of. it is suprising just how irratating holding the bonnet
with your head can be.

Rod's Enthuasiats Workshop Manual - Now Online by
Christopher Muto
Google books now has the Rod's Mazda MX-5 1.8 Enthuasiast Workshop Manual

Being online makes it hard to read under the car but it does make it
completley searchable which is really nice.

real oil gauge readings by
peter
hi,
part of rebuilding my s/c 95 m-ed was to replace the idiot oil
pressure guage with a real one from an earlier car, (93 i think).
went it is fairly cold, the gauge reads 30 + to almost 60# on higher
rev's but once hot, it reads less than 30 and as low as ~10#.
does this sound right?

Intro by
Tim M.
Hi, just found this NG, don't know why it took so long, as I have been
active in rec.motorcycles for 13+ years and have owned Miatas for
almost that long. I guess we're a Miata family... thought I'd
introduce myself.
I'm in northern Virginia, USA, and my current Miata is a '97 M
Edition, green...

Ideal winter garage by
NetMax
I'm thinking of driving my 09 Miata into part of the winter. The car
has a PRHT which should help, but I noticed the mirrors have no
defrost capability (even though it came with heated seats). The rust-
proofing is an electric module, and the wheels will be winter tires on
steel rims.

Remarkable service & a good cup holder by

Wow, this surprised even me. On Sunday, I placed an order with
