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...

hi, i drove my wife's 95 with an eaton s/c to get gas today and it kept stalling on me. i know i could just adj the normal idle but i wonder if there is a cold idle or other winter adjustment? aslo, the car with a recently rebuilt drive train seems to be gertting ~20 mpg...that seems a tad low,...

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...

Today's task was to fix the power window in the '90B that failed yesterday. It went about half way down and that was all she wrote. As the affectionatos know: there is a differential cable system that pulls the window up or down. You get to either crank it manually or, as in my case, a motor does...

Any reccomendations on where to get a new top and window for a 95 Miata? Also, what's needed to put in a glass window ? I'm thinking as long as the top's getting replaced it may be nice to put in glass . (unless it's too cost prohibitive). Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A couple weeks back, I was rear ended by an 18 wheeler. It's not as bad as that sounds. I was able to drive away, the 18 wheeler had to wait for the repair truck to pull his bumper off his right front tire, so I guess, technically I "won". But it's not something I really want to repeat. Insurance...

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...

Was stopped by a woman today who told me that my brake lights were not working. There are three of them and NONE are working! I cant imagine all three bulbs going out at same time so checked for any blown fuses but they looked OK to me. So.... it has to be a relay or maybe switch in the brake...

I subscribed to this group for about 1 1/2 years while I owned a 90 Blue Miata, some may remember I ran over that 10 ton jack that fell off a wrecker while going down I-20, tearing the oil pan off and I got some good advice on repairs from this group. Anyway, I sold my Miata and went to the...
