Trunk Lid Rust by
Craig
Hello, I noticed that there is surface rust on the underside of the trunk of
my Miata on either side of the license plate lights. Anyone else have this
problem or know where it comes from? This is the only major rust I have
found on the car. Mine's a '99, does it happen on other years or just...

FS: Chrome M2 Fuel Door by
Chuck
I have for sale an almost brand new genuine Mazda chrome/aluminum M2 Fuel
Door. This was a dealer removal from a brand new SE, and then got it and I
put it on my car for about 10 minutes, and then removed it. (Don't like the
way it looks particularly.) It is in mint condition, not a scratch or...

Power Window Fix by
KWS
Today's task was to fix the power window in the '90B that failed yesterday.
It went about half way down and that was all she wrote.
As the affectionatos know: there is a differential cable system that pulls
the window up or down. You get to either crank it manually or, as in my
case, a motor does...

So do you avoid poor weather? by
Rivergoat
Never mind about hurricanes...NO ONE should drive in those *:)
While I'm still in the preliminary mode of searching Miatas (NBs, and
low mileage ones at that) that I could possibly afford, I see some
people owning ones that state they've never drivien them in the rain
or snow. Certainly garaging...

Speaker wiring by
Morien Morgan
A number of UKaftermarket suppliers for MX5 recommend and supply a JVC 10cm
replacement headrest speaker. These are rated at 4 ohm.
I understand that the original Mazda speakers are 8 ohm. I assume that these
are wired in pairs and in parallel - giving a nominal 4 ohm impedance. Using
the same...

charging problems by
Eric Goforth
Hello,
Starting late last summer the original battery in my '91 Miata would run
down after a week or so of use, so I got in the habit of leaving it
hooked up to my trickle charger when I wasn't using it. I replaced the
battery, but ran that one down probably three or four times (after the
2nd...

Soft Top Latch Springs by

Top latch spring, left, has finally rusted through and broken. Of course, I
cannot buy solely the latch spring from Mazda Dealer; you have to buy the
entire latch assembly to get a new spring. Interesting that the Left latch
assembly lists for $115 and the Right for $145 - uh, at my...

different salvage yards. The site had pictures and a description of what
was left on the car and I remember that I could search by category to
see only 1990-1997 miatas.

Good miata mechanic in Dallas area??? by
mita
Hi!!
Hearing some sqeaks which are ever so soft to incredibly loud - not very
consistent either. Started hearing them after I had the timing belt
changed. Can't always reproduce the sound.
Any ideas about a good mechanic here in the Dallas area?
Thank you.
