Chris D'Agnolo
I'd been wanting to pull the cam angle sensor for quite some time to replace
the O-ring as it had been seeping oil for quite some time. I finally got the
opportunity but I know now, I should have waited. I tried to do it when the

Yokohama ES 100 tires by
Randy Maheux
FWIW, I've had my Yokohama ES 100 tires (205-45/16) for a 10 days now and
thought I'd report back. I haven't gone up in the mountains yet, but in
spirited city driving that they seem at least as "sticky" as the Bridgestone
Portenza's they replaced. They have also done well in our recent...

turbo engine pics by
pws
Here are a few engine pics from my latest car. There is quite a bit of
room to work in there since there is no A/C, power steering, cruise
control, etc. Even the windshield reservoir tank has been removed to
make room for aftermarket parts. My '96M had the reservoir relocated to
the lower driver...

L Bader
Lanny, Leon, et al. --
I just put the FM Springs and a set of AGXs on my '97.
Afterward, I went to a local garage that was willing to allow me to
"ride" while I had the car aligned. Unfortunately, they were unable

Is winter a better time to go Miata shopping? by
Rivergoat
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?
