Boss Frog V-8 Kit by
BRUCE HASKIN
Has anyone had a chance to look at the : miata.net site and looked at
What's New and Hot ? Page down and look at the Boss Frog V-8 kit. My
'62 Corvette was 2600 pounds and 365 HP. Just think of what a Miata
with 400 HP + would be like. And all that torque ????

CW values for the NC by
Bruno
I've been reading an article on cars and their CW values and what it
means for efficiency. The article is in German but I thought the figures
given for the MX-5 may be interesting so here it goes.
Top down: 0.45 cw
Soft top up: 0.39 cw
Hard top up: 0.37 cw
At 150 KMPH The Hard top uses 0.3...

Still in a country where the greatest race track on the planet* is a
public one way road there is still much to enjoy :-)
Kind regards

Mazdaspeed versions - extra garage work needed or just fine? by
Bruno
I'm toying a little bit with the idea of some day replacing my 1999 NB
with a 2004/2005 Mazdaspeed version but since they aren't sold here in
Europe it's a bit of a project :-)
But how is it to share the life with a Mazdaspeed version? Is the Turbo
and intercooler and more making life...

Cup holder - looking for alternative for an NB by
Bruno
Of course there are all ready two cup holders in the small box between
the seats but since I'm a large guy it's sort of where my arm needs to
be when shifting.
I have seen pictures where there is some sort of cup holder placed to
the right of the gear shift but where can I get one or possible...

Water in the boot/trunk! by
Bruno
We are having record* amounts of rain here in Denmark and unfortunately
a portion of that is finding it's way into the boot of my 1999 Miata!
The whole boot is damp and some of the carpeting is wet plus there is
enough water under the spare that it makes sense drain it by use of the
drain...

Torque wrench - which one to buy? by
Bruno
I'm looking for a good 1/2" torque wrench and so far I have only some
really cheap rubbish ones and some really expensive ones (like a Bahco
costing like 300+ US!).
I wonder if it will even make sense for me to buy it on-line and have it
shipped to Denmark - being that good tool shops seem not...

Slippery when wet - or how one little 180 can be rather expensive by
Bruno, Copenhagen - Denmark
Time has passed so now I can write about my little incident without
cursing :-)
Aprox. two months ago I was driving home from work in heavy rain,
stopped at the light at a T-junction, took a right turn and did a slow
180 spin which ended with me parked neatly next to the curb in the
opposite...

If I had a garage this could be my next purchase by
Bruno, Copenhagen - Denmark

Or maybe I would simply make them do a custom one based on a picture of
my rolling life quality improver also know as a MX-5 :-)

A 1990 NA with just 10,500 miles on the clock by
Bruno, Copenhagen - Denmark
I thought this might be fun to look at:
http://carview.bilinfo.dk/apps/au2fast.dk/details.asp?id=547400086
I case you wonder - it's a Danish website so the language is of course
Danish :-)
Oh, and if you "translate" the price the note it's crazy partly because
it is a new old car and partly...

The early ND reviews are in and it is good by
Bruno, Copenhagen - Denmark
Here is a Road & Track quote:
"Is it the best Miata ever? Clearly—but that's like calling What's Going
On "a really great Marvin Gaye record." It's more than a great Miata.
It's a wake-up call to the people who build cars around the world, a
flag thrust defiantly in the faces of the people who...

Need Miata advice by
[email protected]
I'm moving to a new place where I will have a 55-mile commute, each
way, from the Park & Ride or the Light Rail terminal. It's mostly 4-
lane US or Texas state highway. Not interstate slab, but still pretty
straight, and no hills to speak of. I want to get a 1999 or 2000
Miata for this commute...
