I was tempted to put this on my red miata, figuring on about a 5 hp increase from the rear photon effect pushing the car, but I decided against it. :-) The lid is in very good condition. It has been repainted white on white but was never damaged, plus it has two blue racing stripes that don't...

It's brake service time. I plan to put rebuilt calipers on with new pads and new rotors. I am leaning towards OEM on both but am thinking about Hawk pads. What'cha running for brakes, and what did the rotors and pads cost? Also, if anyone has a set of either rotors and/or pads gathering dust, I...

The engine/turbo/computer from the running Miata will probably be sold as one unit, though I may part the power-train out as well. I have removed many of the parts from the Silverstone with 128,000 miles, the parts from the red car will take longer, possibly the beginning of October. Located...

I replaced a split brake line on a 1994 Camry over the weekend. Looking at the set makes me glad to see that my stainless, (non-loosening for over 4 years now), brake lines are not necessarily just for a cosmetic effect. This makes me want to replace any original brake lines after they are...

Just for the pleasure of XS11E. ;-) Pat

I know a Miata owner who has a power steering pump going out on their 1996 model. I was asked to replace the pump, but was also asked about simply removing it. Is this an option without going to a manual rack, and if so, do I simply plug the hydraulic line fittings to the power steering rack...

OK, it's a Subaru and not a Miata, but this group has been dead lately, so I don't think I am clogging things up too badly. ;-) Pretty cool video to watch for any performance enthusiast and a little over 4 minutes long. Some excellent control of the 530 RWHP car is shown, though I would not...

I have a friend who is looking to replace her Miata tires. I always get high-performance summer tires that wear out quickly. Lots of fun and lots of money when I replaced them every 12 to 15 months. She is looking for something that lasts longer but still has "decent" grip. Price is a major...

I was driving home and almost ran into a group of zombies before I saw the road warning sign stating, "Caution! Zombies! Ahead!!!", and made an emergency U-turn back away from that specific area of undead infestation. Very lucky, I don't think that the vinyl top would have offered much...

I think that I found out why this Miata was overheating. http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/pat/gunkedup.jpg Pat

This is kind of cool, I have always wanted to take my Miata on the track when doing Kart racing. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsYnP5WuWXQ&NR=1 Pat

From my local list, a link to the NC MX-5 with the folding hardtop up, down and in action in different colors. http://www.mazdamx5.co.uk/rht.htm Pat

From my local list. 4700 Mazdas, probably underwater. The insurance companies must be going nuts. http://tinyurl.com/fuz3j At least there were no reported casualties of humans or miatas. :-) Pat

I have a fuel pump from a 1996. I have been trying to find part numbers to figure out what years it is compatible with and one of the places that sells them indicates that the same pump fits all 1990 - 2005 models, which doesn't sound right to me. Trussville and Mazda South don't list them at...

Does anyone know what the 2006 model 17" wheels weigh? I am guessing that Mazda kept it at about 18 pounds. I am so used to being able to use any miata wheel on any year model miata, (assuming there is brake clearance), that the new 5-lug pattern never occured to me. No more cheap and easy OEM...

The only miata content here is that I need to know the name of this band so that I can get some music from them to listen to in my miata. I am not sure why they did not go big, this is one of the finest musical endeavors by any band ever. The video just gets better and better as it...

Anyone ready for a discount Mazda? Posted on a local list: Mazda News Release: September 12, 2006 No Mazda Vehicles on Car-Carrying Vessel Cougar Ace will be Sold as New Vehicles

I have three of the aluminum rails that attach the transmission and rear end to the body on the M1 miata. It looks like something that you would never need to replace, anything that breaks it is probably going to total the car, but I hate to just recycle these for aluminum weight if they are of...

I am trying to come up with an asking price for a set of SSR Competitions

Long story, even longer than this post, but I have reacquired the two 1991 Miatas that I had, or most of them anyway. My red turbo is a very, very low-cost vehicle now, and I am now the 3rd and the 5th owner. Back to parting out I go. I am only listing the pieces as I have them ready to ship...
