I would like to buy a shock tower brace for a 1999 Miata. If anyone has one they would like to get rid of, let me know. Thanks.

Does anyone know of a kit that contains the necessities for swapping a 1.8L into an older (M1?) Miata? I have a '91, and know that sometime soon I may need a new engine, and when that happens, I wannt go to a non OBDII 1.8L. Thanks guys!

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...

I have a 1990 Miata. When I turn on the AC - the AC will sometimes come on - sometime nothing - usually because it blows the fuse. If the AC does come on, it blows strong and cold -but the car will not accelerate (accelerates to 10 miles an hour). I replace the fuse, turn off the AC - and it...

In the last two days, when downshifting to a stop,...

My "charge" light doesn't come on, I checked the bulb and checked the diode on the instrument light circuit board (w/o removing the printed circuit) and all is OK. I know the alternator is working by the simple test, start car, turn on headlights, rev up engine. When the engine revs up the lights...

Dude, dont listen to these guys, your engine is from what I understand the 1.6 DOHC. Try to get any engine from a Mazda Protege LX 1.8 DOHC and the ECM of a Mazda Miata 1.8 and you are golden. After that buy the 1.8 2003 Miata pistons and also the performance camshafts of Mazdaspeed. You will need...
