I have a 1997 sto mazda miata . It came from the factory with a manual antenna, the previous owner put in a factory mazda power antenna, It is controlled by the ignition switch, and not the radio on/off switch. It goes up every time I turn the key on,And down when the key is turned off, I want...

The 1991 turbo 1.8 liter that I bought is still going well, car & driver are both alive and uninjured. I have been driving it very carefully, almost re-learning to drive the car. I spent 5 years with the ability to give my miata near-maximum to maximum acceleration under almost any circumstances....

> I plan to put only a few thousand miles per year on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was only going to drive mine on weekends. Bought in April this year with 39,000 miles on it. As of yesterday the odometer is showing just over 50,000. I'm also going through withdrawal -- yesterday was the last day...

Reviewed the other posts here about rear tire wear but wanted some additional insight. Vehicle is a 2000 Miatia (of course!!) with 54,000 miles. Replaced all 4 tires about 17,000 miles ago. Noticed that both rear tires have significant wear on the inside edge almost to the point of...

I bought a new 2004 in March and now have 24,000 miles on it. I had to replace the tires last week as they had no tread left on them ( I did not check them as often as I should have - just assumed that tires would last longer than this and only rotated once). Can someone help me understand if...

With my daily driver Honda getting more and more problems, I'm hoping other problems at the work place get resolved soon and I can actually think of making a move. I was wondering if a fun/roadster/ragtop is easier to snare in the bad weather season rather than in the summer. Eh?

When did the Miata begin the white gauge faces? I'm getting closer to seriously looking for a recent (NB) model and am also rather partial to that configuration...

Just picked up a mint 2003 Special Edition (Strato Blue w/grey leather interior) today. WHAT A FUN CAR!!!! Can't wait for summer!

I'm a bad Miata owner. Froschen, the Wonder Miata (1992 black on tan, 248k+ miles) has been gathering dust in a shed. It's covered, and I've been good about going out and firing it up every few weeks ... though the battery is completely flat now, so I probably need to replace it. Last night, I...

I am seriously considering towing my 1990 Miata (first owner, I've had it since June '89) behind my motorhome. I am fairly confident that no modifications ( tranny lube pump, driveshaft disconnect) are required. My concern is with the odometer racking up mileage. Is the speedo cable driven from...

Anyone know the difference between red and blue cover 90-97 Haynes manuals? I do NOT need to know how superior the Enthusiast's manual is. Thanks. -Phil

Is it my imagination or is there a trend in cars trying to spit on one another? Actually, I know there are clear cases of "intentional incorrect windshield wiper use." I'm just curious if I'm alone in the observation.

I broke a lug on the front wheel when I tried to loosen the lug nut. To replace the lug/hub, I started disassemble the front hub. Now I am stuck by the lock nut of the front hub. I tried the largest socket (27mm) and it still won't fit. What's the size of the lock nut? Where to get a new lock...

For those who expressed interest, I put the installation and pictures of the IL Motorsport airbag steering wheel at: http://dommelen.net/miata/goodies/steer.htm Leon -- Leon van Dommelen :) Bozo, the White 96 Sebring Miata .) http://www.dommelen.net/miata EXIT THE...

I realise that this probably sounds like a dumb question but does the hardtop fit with or without the soft top in place? TIA Al.

I was recently involved in a rear end collision with my 1999 Miata. The impact broke one of the brackets that holds the differential into the car. Since the bracket is part of the one piece differential housing, the shop is going to have to find a used complete rear axle assembly to replace it. ...

Here I am, ready to install my RB Header, FM Hi-Flow Cat and FM Dual NA Exhaust, and can't find where the O2 sensor pig-tail plugs into the system. -- Can anyone out here help? TIA - L

It's time to buy wheels and winter tires. The current plan is a set of 195/55-15 Michelin PA2's on 6 or 6.5" wheels. I'm thinking about splurging on some alloy wheels this time around, but the selection in 6-6.5 is limited. One of the low-end brands TireRack carries is "Sport Edition". I've...

The '90 blew out it's heater core today. Someone posted an article showing how to remove and replace the core without pulling the entire dash. I sure would appreciate someone re-posting that link. Thanks, Ken

Hi Does any one know where I can Purchase a Cat Converter for a 1998 Protege ES 1.8L A/T Thanks
