Got any Miata peeves? Or hidden likes? by
[email protected]
So, we all know the Miata has driving fun covered. In a big way! But
what about things that are not so great? Or things you like that are
less talked-about. Here are some of mine!
Small peeves
- Horn
- Cup holder location (can live with it by now, though)
- Sun visors unscrew themselves (oh,...

battery choice by
pm
i think it is time to replace the battery on my 95...
par for the course, the miata battery is a bit unusual, (u1rt), and
therefore probably expensive.
autozone has an autocraft silver for $110.
are there other good choices?
thanks,
peter

Miata Wheels by
GParent
I have original alloy '91 Miata Wheels:
I got the alloy wheels that came with the package on the Miata. Live in the
Northeast US and they get badly pitted. I can have them reconditioned and
repainted for around $150 a wheel or get replacements.
I don't like extreme or chrome ones and want to...

Shocks? by
Raover
I have a 2006 MX-5 with 36,000 miles and noticed over the past couple of
weeks, sometimes when I drive over a hard bump or dip in the road it
feels like the rear end is "bottoming out". Could this mean I need new
shocks? When I get out of the card and push up and down on the rear end,
it feels...

Turns Over but Won't Start by
Christopher Muto
Hi all,
Drove my *automatic* '95 for an hour to a store, parked it, went shopping
for an hour, came out, and the Miata would not start.
It happily cranks but does not start. Noticed that the 'hold' light on the
dash blinks continuously (this is an automatic) and believe that it is
trying to...

We're not the worst? by
XS11E[_3_]
I was sure Arizona would rank much worse than Californicate!
I'm not surprised that New York has the worst drivers per GMAC
insurance.
Take the test yourself he http://nationaldriverstest.com/
State Rankings for best/worst drivers:
Note: Many states tied for the same position in the rankings.

what is the "hold" light? by
peter
hi,
i replace the oil pressure "idiot" gauge in my 95 with a real oil
pressure gauge and thought i would replace all the lights in the
instrument cluster while i was there, (why not at 115k miles), and one
of the lights would illuminate the word "hold" in blue if it were ever
to light up.

M1 Alloy Wheel Cleaner by
Ephar[_2_]
Does anybody know of a good cleaner for these wheels? I tried the off
the shelf stuff and had no luck (it's 100k miles worth of gunk I'm
