Hi, I have been off list for awhile as my 95 M-Ed has been off the road because at 112K miles the motor was smoking. Something went wrong with the first rebuild, (motor, tranny, jr/sc), after 2k miles and the motor had to come out again. after an inordinate amount of time, I have the...

My '90 developed a problem today that occurred once before (approx 3 months ago) but "fixed itself" before I could troubleshoot it. The symptoms are huge amounts of white smoke blowing out the tailpipe and very rough running. Smells like raw gas. The gas gage moved considerably as I was trying...

I was being tailgated last night, nothing unusual, but I was able to pull into the right lane to let them pass. The next thing I know, they are almost past me, then the turn signal comes on and they immediately pull right over into my lane. Only serious braking on my part and luck prevented an...

How many grease zerks (grease fittings) -- if any -- are there on a 1999 Miata? I purchased a used Miata, and am going to change the oil for the first time. Thank you for any help you can pass my way. Regards, Randy Seys Mankato, MN

Let's not start theTurbo vs. Supercharger argument. I have a '90 1.6L that's just getting broke in good and I have finally desided to bite the bullet and do some forced induction. Can I hear from the folks that have experence with turbos especially the GReddy kit?? Tuning problems, installation...

I've mentioned before that the headlights on my '92 don't always go up when I turn the lights on. It's VERY rare, maybe once a month or less and I can raise them by using the button on the dashboard so I haven't worried about it too much until..... Last night, I drove the car, it's been...

I've been driving between Tampa and New Jersey every 2 weeks for the past 2 months and as you can imagine my life has been a bit scattered. I love the drive because I love the car. I owned a mint condition 85 RX7 for a few years before it became a casualty of my divorce and I never thought another...

Hello again, all my Miata friends; My 96 M Edition started making a groaning noise recently, from the rear of the car. You can place your hand on the body just above either rear wheel and press slightly and the car will groan. When driving it groans and I'm sure that it groans more, but road noise...

Hi, Just ordered a Ground control kit for my KYB AGX shocks from the guys at Flyin Miata, Had the stage 3 kit installed since last summer, but the springs are way too low for the roads here, got the car on KYB's with standard shocks now, but the car is not right on mid corner bumps, tried it on...

Can someone play "Taps" over it please? I blame Mazda, the first two versions of the Miata were more than cars, they were almost like family pets, not always well behaved but lovable! The third generation is a MUCH better car but.. a car amd nothing more than a car. <SIGH> -- XS11E, Killing...

Last night I found I had a broken headlight on the 1992 MX5. On my way home I stopped at a couple of places to get a new one and found AutoZone was out and their computer showed their other nearby stores were also out. I headed across the street to Walmart and found one there, they had only...

Hello all, I haven't made a post to this board in quite some time, as I've been busy and my Miata hasn't given me any trouble lately :) Unfortunately This past Sunday I was enjoying a drive with the top down when a deer jumped out directly in front of me. The road was slightly wet, as it had...

Where is this switch located. My hand brake light is on all the time now. It was intermittant last year, but now it stays on. Guess it's time to replace it, but I don't know where to start. I'm guessing it's near the hand brake lever. This is a 1990 Miata.

I have had my miata now for just over 18 months.... The handbrake warning light now comes on when the handbrake is fully off. A quick trip to the garage clears this but, but the mechanic just says "It's a common problem!" Is there an easy fix to save me going to the garage every time...

Went to MVD today and got a handicap plate for the Miata. I also renewed the placard so I can use it in my other car(s). There was a bit of a wait but no cost, it was pretty easy and painless. I downloaded the form online and filled it out so the paper work was all done when I got there and that...
