This is about Mazda rather than the Miata. I own two Mazdas, a Mazda6 and a Mazda3. Hindsite tells me I should have varied brand names a bit. But this is how things turned out. The popular mazdaXforums websites are more geared towards fandom than actual technical issues. So this is the best...

Want to Buy I need a driver side headlight for a 1999 Miata. Mine has a broken mounting tab. Let me know price and availability. Thanks. Brian Turner turnerjb at centurytel dot net

I am parting out a 1990 white miata, and spark plug #3 is badly stripped at the part where the spark plug attaches to the socket, not the thread that the spark plug itself goes into. The spark plug is completely stripped, and the part of the plug that the spark plug wire boot attaches to is broken...

Are the 2004/2005 Miata's Prewired for Satellite radio? I see the Bose sound system has a "SAT" button, which means its satellite compatible. Since the receiver goes in the trunk, I'm wondering if the wiring is already in place. I hope the wiring terminal is tucked in behind the brake light or...

I'm considering buying a 2005 Miata LS. Is it true that I will need to use premium gasoline?

Hello, everyone. I have a '99 Miata, which makes a high-pitched squeaky noise when the car is moving. I looked around for a while (because I didn't know where the sound same from) and found it was the radio. Actually it's more like the empty compartment right under the radio/CD player. If I push...

The CD player in my 93 (25th ann.) jumps the moment I hit a small bump on the road. It just keeps on skipping, skipping and skipping. I tried cleaning it but with no success. Any ideas. JF

I got a tonneau cover for my '92* and when it's in place, the cover rests on top of the shoulder belts right where they pass over the upper guides. This keeps the belts from retracting properly when I get out of the car... Does anyone have a fix of some kind, something that might hold the cover...

About a month ago a posted a couple messages about a clutch slave cylinder, and then a master cylinder for a '96. I replaced the slave cylinder, but couldn't get any pressure when trying to bleed the system. I bought a master cylinder kit, which had no instructions. I think I replaced everything in...

Is there a way to cancel out the airbag light? I have a 1991 miata the car was previously in a frontend colision prior to my ownership. I am looking to restore the car to its glory. However the airbag light stays on due to an aftermarket momo steering wheel that was installed "junk". If...

I have a 2002 SE with the 6 speed transmission and about 10K miles. When I let out the clutch in first and sometimes in second the transmission shutters some. It seems to be less noticable when it is warmer and I can avoid it if I keep the RPMs very high 3K+ while letting out the clutch. Does...

What are the opinions of Miata drivers about premium versus regular gas? I have babied my 2003 Miata with 104 octane premium, but with present gas prices I wonder if this is worth it?

Hey kids... ..whenever I hit 120mph on my favorite canyon roads around here, my tonneau cover always comes loose. (okay, I'm exaggerating a bit -- say, 55mhp on the freeway, okay?!) I've tried to double-loop the straps to tighten it, but to no prevail. I wonder if someone has tried to make straps...

I'm getting close to replacing my original Michelin Pilot SX-GT tires, which have about 50,000 miles. While I probably drive slightly faster and more aggressively than the average Camry or Taurus driver, I'm pretty conservative for a Miata driver. In the winter I put on Blizzaks, and while they...

Hi all! I've recently got me a mk2 (yipee!!) and was just wondering, what's the best way to wash it without harming the color in the long run? Is water under (high) pressure better than flowing water & sponge? I've heard to stay away from brushes but don't know how to best treat my new baby :-)...

- Mazda holdback = 2% of base MSRP Q: any factory-dealer incentives on '05 3's running now? Story: After a long series of comparisons between the Ford SVT Focus, Mazda 3 5-door, Toyota Matrix, Subaru wagons, and Mazda Protege5, I've basically decided to get the 3. The Miata will stay in the...

Thanks you guys (Lanny, Leon in particular) for suggestions a couple of months ago about my irregular tire wear and alignment. Here's a follow-up. Last tires were Falken Ziex ZE512 185/60-14's and I had characterized these tires as "Godawful". Rear tires were worn evenly, but heavily (about...

Have a 1990 Miata and have just started getting hardly no power, no acceleration, at low rpm. Have changed the fuel filter and plugs and the wires are OK. Could it be the injectors, and if so, what is a good cleaner for them. Thanks.
