Miatta Storage question by Art McClinton
My Son parked his 99 Miatta in my garage when he went over seas for what he and I thought was a 2-3 month trip. It is now 2 years and although at first I would drive the car out of the garage and idle it in the driveway, it has now set idle for the last 6 months. Since the car is titled in his...

fixing slashed convertible top by Art McGinn
a preliminary note: using a scrap of vinyl convertible-top material from a local auto upholstery shop (free from its scrap pile), affixed same with some goopy stuff called "elmer's stix-all" which bills itself as a "hi-tech adhesive" (bought at a wallgreen's). glued the patch from the...

miata in ice and snow by Art McGinn
as a followup to a query of several months ago about the miata on snow and ice, the northern owners who said it ran well in winter were right-on. it functions at least as well and maybe better than the big guys although once you're on pure ice, you're more like a ski. an important drawback, and...

faded paint query by Art McGinn
the red paint on the metal of our '91 mx shines-up like new but the paint on the fiberglass/plastic rear bumper and environs is quite dull and seems to want to stay that way. do i need to repaint that area or is there something that will shine it up?

woofer by Art McGinn
It's starting to sound like I've got a woofer problem in the sound system of my '91. I peeled back the headrest on the driver's side to expose the two small speakers there, both identical in size. Are these woofers or tweeters or both? If tweeters, are the woofers in the door panels? Any...

timing belt, mx-5 by Art McGinn
our '91 just turned 140k. we bought it at 107k, and the timing belt had been replaced at around 80k, as i recall. the car runs true and tight. one source says change the belt every 105k, another (miata garage) every 60k. i gather the worst that could happen if the belt breaks is that....it...

'91, smog question by Art McGinn
just barely flunked ca smog test due to slightly -- very slightly -- over-the-limit nitrogen oxide at idle (while o.k. at 25 mph). the technician (it was a "test only" facility) said he suspected the oxygen sensor needed replacement. everything else tested fine. any other thoughts out there before...

snow birds! by Art McGinn
As a Californian trepidatiously headed into the teeth of snowy winters in the Pacific Northwest with our '91 Miata, I was pleased to learn from northern list members that a Miata can tame snow -- if not too much snow for the little fella. Like more than five inches or so. The Nokian RSI winter tire...

fixing slashed miata convertible top by Art McGinn
per an earlier post, the repair of a convertible top slashed by a radio thief -- using elmer's stix-all adhesive, commonly available (like at walgreen's for about $6.00 a tube) -- passed its first serious storm test by holding-up very well. if this stuff works, and it seems to, it saves about...

Tires for a '90 Miata by Arye
It's time to replace the Kumhos on my '90 Miata. My thinking is to go up one size (from 185/60R14 to 195/60R14), to compensate for the slightly too-slow speedometer, and buy a set of four Sumitomo HTR A/S P01. My questions: 1. Any wise comments on the increased size? 2. Any wise comments on...

Stretched Parking-Brake Cables? by Arye
I am told that the parking-brake cables of my 1990 Miata (154,000 miles) have now stretched beyond the ability of the manual adjusters (both at the brake handle and at the rear calipers) to compensate for the slack. The brake pedal works fine; the parking brake, on the other hand, doesn't hold...
