suggestions to revitalize this news group? by
Chris D'Agnolo[_2_]
Wow, it's a shame to see so few posts on what's been the best newsgroup I've
ever run across! Are 'we' just inundated with too many ways to communicate?
Is everyone twittering (whatever the hell that is) and facebooking and
myspacing and blogging (how did I almost forget blogging?) Who blogs for...

OMG! New Mazda Grills by
Geary Morton
Are they just plain hideous, or is that just my imagination?
I decided to cruise the lot at my local Mazda dealership, just to take a
gander at the new models, and I was really disappointed - mostly at all
the sardonic-looking smiley grills. The Miatas looked very strange, and
the "3" looked...

2008 and Premium Gas by
socamb
I am considering purchasing a 2008 miata. O have a 1997 and love it. I
noticed the 2008 miata required premium gas. Is this true. The dealer
said it does not really require it.
I will have a hard time purchasing a car that required premium gas
these days.
any thoughts the group has would be...

MX-5 Commuter? by
CR
Seeking opinions about using an MX-5 Miata as a daily driver - and
frequent touring/sport car.
Here are some details of the daily commute:
- small city <150,000
- 8-10 miles one way through town
- city streets and/or bypass expressway
- midwestern climate
What fuel mileage will the Miata provide?

Radio question. by
XS11E
The radio on my Miata expired some time back and the previous owner
agreed to get me a replacement. Who know one that will fit in the
space provided?
I'd like AM/FM/CD with presets and not real expensive, is there such a
critter? I need make and model number please.
Thanks!

Timing belt question by
zenmartini
I know the timing belt is supposed to be replaced at 60k. My 2000 is
at 75k but the belt is in good condition... no nicks etc. Money is
tight at the moment... how much longer can I go before this has to be
replaced... I know that I'll be stuck wherever I am but there is no
damage that can occur...

Tim M.[_2_]
.... was my calculated fuel consumption rate for an ~84 mile drive

timing belt change needed? by
Scott
My '91 Miata has about 29K real miles on the odometer and has never had
the timing belt changed. Should the belt be changed, or should it still
be good for 60K, despite its age?

AC issue by
Mac[_2_]
Have a question on the ac system on the Miata. Have a 90 with r12.
Took it in and the pressure is good and has the correct amount of
freon. But after 20-30 minutes of driving it stops working and starts
to blow hot air, but then will come back on after a few minutes.
Also, sometimes the rpms goes...

Texas idiots on ice (NMC) by

What is that cold, shiny stuff on the road, mamma? It shore looks slippery.
"No worry, son, we have a 4WD, 5000 pound vehicle with terrible handling
and tires that were never intended for weather this cold, but the fact
that it is 4WD will make up for that. After all, 4 wheels spinning out

Why is 6th gear so low (2006 Sport) by
Mark in KC
I feel like my car is getting undue engine wear and wasting gas on the highway because in 6th gear,
going 60 mph it's doing almost 3,000 rpm.
Does anyone know why they made 6th gear so low?
Thanks.

Mazdaspeed MX-5 NC? by
Chris D'Agnolo
I just had a brilliant idea (you won't argue with this one Pat)! Fit the
same hot-rod engine from the Mazdaspeed 3 / 6 into the new NC! Why the heck
not? The bar has been raised that high by none other than GM! Mazda must
respond!
The brilliant part is, the same old benefit of parts sharing....

Miatas and premium versus regular gas by
Boris Goldofski
What are the opinions of Miata drivers about premium versus regular gas? I
have babied my 2003 Miata with 104 octane premium, but with present gas
prices I wonder if this is worth it?

Mazda3 clunk by

I have a 2004 Mazda3 (manual transmission) that has just been serviced
(non main-dealer) after flying through its MOT (not same place as service).

completely OT! by
Chris D'Agnolo[_2_]
I know we have some serious computer nerds here, and I say that
affectionately, even jealously ;-)
Microsoft, in their own form of brilliance (stupidity really!), when XP
changed to Vista, Outlook Express was dropped in favor of 'Microsoft Mail'
which, is about the same but just enough...

Crazy beemers by
miker
Dunno whats up with Ebay. All I see anywhere else is people asking more and
more for them... 4-5000 for R75's and R90's, 10k for R90S's...
On ebay, watched a really nice looking R100S go for only $2800. Then a
questionable R100/7, that the guy "fixed himself", possible serious sun rot,

Miata deficiencies. by
XS11E
The other day I bought my usual losing lottery ticket and asked myself what
I'd get to replace my 1992 1600 pretty much stock Miata if I won.....
The answer I came up with is I'm almost completely satisfied with the car, it
does what I want, seems pretty much trouble free and is always fun to...
