Please explain wheel size differences. by
Dave Smith
There have been several threads lately about wheel sizes, but I'm a
bit in the dark as to what difference wheel diameter makes. I seem to
remember hearing that changing wheel diameter doesn't necessarily
change spedometer accuracy. If that's the case, then the tire
thickness (rim to road) must be...

Insurance and wrecked Mazdaspeed by
Chuck Aydlette
My 2 month old MS Miata was sandwiched between a Blazer and F150 while
sitting in traffic. The truck slammed my rear and pushed me into the
rear of the Blazer. No injuries, the truck's airbags deployed and
mine did not. Is it possible to get paid for depreciation above the
cost of repairs? It...

tyre recommendation by
AdrianR
Anyone got a recommendation for new tyres for my mx18? The current tyres
came with the car when new and are Michelin 195/50R15 82V. I live and drive
year round in the north of England, so they will have to cope with some
snow.

Screetching sound when battery dead by
Gary
When my battery is low and recharging, I get a screeching sound that stops
when I get up some speed. When I come to a stop and startup again, the sound
returns. This keeps happening for a few days and once the battery is fully
charged, no more screeching sound. What are the possibilities?

I'll ask to trouble you for a few questions.

Fading Clutch? by
Peter Murphy
My '91 Miata now has 226k kilometres on the clock and recently I've noticed
that when I hit the gas peddle in fourth or fifth gear the engine responds
fine but the car doesn't accelerate accordingly. Does this mean that the
clutch is worn and should be replaced? Is there any other way of checking...

Window mechanism question by
Don Benton
As a result of being heavy-handed, and not taking the thing apart and
lubing it properly, the window crank on the driver side stopped
working. After dragging out Rod's manual (God, I hate trying to find
something in there), I disassembled the door enough to notice that the
top riser cable to the...

Laying under the car I put the rear main seal in. But the seal went in
beyond the surface of the crankcase. From the end of the crank to the outer
surface of the seal is 8mm. The sealing lip is 7mm past that for a total
