Is a roll bar really needed ? Which make is actually protective, and won't interfere with my 1996 soft top with glass window? Aren't most of the roll bars available just decorative & don't really protect the driver in the event of a roll over? Aren't roll overs extremely rare in such a low riding...

Do most folks do this themselves ? It looks easy enough but some warn against it. Thanks ....... mx5

Over the weekend, my bride and I installed a new Robbins No-Zipper Glass window top on her Red 93. We followed the instructions that came with the top, and the four sets of instructions from Miatanet. We still had a major problem in that we forgot to re-fasten the cable until we had already done a...

I have a '99 Miata with a CD player that stopped playing CD's I've burned. Just yesterday I burned a CD and it played in the morning- as expected. That Afternoon I loaded the CD again only to have the player reject it every time inserted. The CD plays great on my home CD players. Here are the...

In the last two weeks my 95 Miata (153K miles) becomes extremely difficult to get in gear. Reverse being so impossible that I generally will just push it myself so I don't have to "deal with it". Once it gets warmed up it gets easier but R is still hard. There is very little resistance in the...

My 1992 Miata has started idling around 1800 rpm several days ago. It began happening very intermittently but it's almost all the time now. Miata.net isn't very helpful but I may not be looking in the right place? Today it stayed high all the time I was running errands* and it doesn't matter if...

I am creeping towards getting into amateur racing, most likely in the SCCA spec Miata class. I've been in touch with a few people who are active in that community. Anyone posting here who has any words of wisdom? Does being involved in amateur racing automatically disqualify me from claiming...

The gear shift on my 1990 Miata (139,500 miles) lately has started to seem notchy, and shifting into reverse sometimes produces an embarrassing grinding noise. Does anyone know what the problem is, and how much it is likely to cost to fix? Everything else on the car is fine, and I plan to keep it...

Hello, Has anyone out there put a trailer hitch on thier Miata? If so, where did you get it? I need 1 for a small trailer to haul an inflatable boat or My wifes electric wheel chair. Thank you, Larry Hill P.S. I need a Hard top for an 00 Special edition.

Hi Guys, I have for sale my 1990 Cherry Red Miata. manufactured in 1989. Her black cloth interior and cherry red exterior are in wonderful condition. She was repainted about eight months ago to touch up the usual faded paint / oxidation. Her new tires, chrome wheels, struts & shocks, and poly...

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...

Let me be slightly trollish in this matter as I admit mothers who take their brats to school in their 4x4s as they are not "very good" at parking i.e f**king dangerous to the rest of the world! do the 4x4 a dis-service i.e its them who should be driving Fiestas "properly, safely etc" but...

Can somebody inform me about recommended Timing Belt replacement Mileage for 1997 Miata 1.6L

I just bought half a tank of gas at a new "Valero" station... when I looked at the tank and read the sign that said 'Contains Ethanol' I stopped pumping and crossed my fingers. I have a 2005 and don't know if Miatas like ethanol or not. Any knowledge out there on this? Do I need to worry? Should...

Hi, I've got a 2002 Miata that can have a quick pull to the right or left when I'm coming up to a traffic light or other stop. I doesn't happen all the time, but at times it seems if I were to let go of the wheel, it would completely turn the wheel direction. Has anyone ever experienced this...

I'm going to have to park on the street in SF with my new Miata. Any tricks or products for keeping the braile parkers from scratching the heck out of the paint? I've thought of a car bra, but I only really want it for parking and I want to protect both front and rear. JJ

Has anyone had any experience with this company and it's products? I know there are a lot of these types of bars in the market, and I'd like to buy a well-made, well-fitting one. The plus with this company is that it is based outside of Milwaukee, and not too far from where I live (so I wouldn't...

Hi all- I've decided it's time to replace my my 90b. While I was heavily tempted to get the NC, I'm opting for an NB (mainly to keep costs down and I like some of the NB styling over the NC). The car is in the Las Vegas area and is sold as is/where is. The car is in pretty decent shape for its age...
