I fly electric model aircraft and need to install a cigarette lighter style power outlet in the trunk to re-charge the batteries. Is there a wire in the trunk that is always hot that I can tap into? Randy

When doing the oil pan gasket replacement, does the engine need to actually be removed or can it be lifted slightly out of the way? This job looks like a chore. The only miata oil pan that I have removed before was in an engine that was out of the car. If anyone has done this and has...

When I got my timing belt done I had them do the water pump and drive belts too. A little while after my drive belt started to slip and make that horrible squealing noise. I brought it back to the garage and he retensioned them. It was fine for awhile but now it's doing it again. The belt seems...

I have a weeks vacation next week and we were thinking about driving down from the Midwest to the gulf. A few years ago we stayed in Gulfport, MS and really enjoyed it. Our room overlooked the Gulf and the whole area was great. Does anyone near that area that know how Gulfport has recovered...

I'm looking to buy my first convertible, and I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons. I thought if anyone could help, they'd be in this group. I'm in New England, and plan to drive the car year-round (I can't afford to have a "spare" car right now). I just know that in a year, I'll find myself...

This looks like it could be especially bad news in a convertible. If you want to see what happens to a Honda Element and a "protected" tornado-chaser truck when giant hail hits it, here you go. It does look like they would have lost the windshield without his contraption on...

Someone kicked off my right rearview mirror yesterday, so I'm looking for a replacement. Since I've got an imported Miata I'd like to replace it with an original 'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear' mirror. The ones I can buy in Europe don't have that text. Can someone help me out...

Ok, I have a friend who jumps all over me on any e-mail typo. He made the big mistake of sending me a question about what new features the 2070 model MX-5 has. There is no way I am letting this go, but I need help with ideas. Asuuming that Mazda is still producing our beloved roadster 64 years...

Quite some time ago I found out that the Eunos Roadsters have a fuse on the catalyser which, when burned out (through overheating the cat for example) causes the Engine Overheat light to go on. I'm now trying to find out more information about this again, namely how to replace it. However, I...
