New NC debuted today by
Chris D'Agnolo
Probably everyone is still in a haze, weary eyed trying to pass liscense
tests in the new GT4 but hey ya'all, did you catch that Mazda did the
unvieling today. At 11:30 am central time (US). The intro was pretty cool on
the live feed, little small and hard to see much but cool to witness it
live....

NB Steering Wheel Replacement by
Chris D'Agnolo
I have always thought that the NB 3 spoke is one of the finest OEM wheels
ever put in any production car so you can imagine my disappointment when the
NB I ended up buying was one of only a couple I've ever seen w/o that fine
wheel. I believe 99 was the only year that the base model NB could be...

STRUT DUST BOOTS by
Chris D'Agnolo
Guys, It seems like everyone wants a fortune for these dust boots for miata
shocks. This vendor charges less than $9 a piece (at least for 1999 ver).
Most of the time I see these for $15 to $25 a piece which seems highway
robbery for something so...

unusual miata. It's a new Club Spec 06 (Red) that's for sale by a dealer
with a buy it now price of $15,900 IIRC. Sticker is shown as $20,990 or so.

Houston!) with my 'lil brother (and his RX-8 :). After much research, I

Tire Preasure ? by
Chris D'Agnolo
Hey guys, I know the tire pressure question has been pretty much been beaten
like a dead horse here but I still have a question. What is the recommended
tire pressure (on the door sticker) for an NB with 16" wheels? My car I
believe, originally came with 14" wheels (base model 99) and I'm...

How many Miatas have you owned? by
Chris D'Agnolo
Hey, last time I thought this group was getting WAY too quiet, I started a
thread on where the participants were / are. I was shocked how many people
were still hanging around and just waiting to comment or read others
comments. It led to a long and enjoyable (at least for me) thread.
This is...

99 center console issue by
Chris D'Agnolo
The first year of the NB they totally blew it on the center console design
(they got allot right;-) the cup holder is worthless and you have to have
the console open (in the way of the passenger) to use it. They also put the
release so far back, you have to be a contortionist to get to it....

1.6L engine help by
Chris D'Agnolo
I pushed my lil 1.6L pretty hard a month ago when at the Miatas at the Gap
event. It's wonderfull driving fun! Lots of high rpm 2nd gear stuff. I
didn't bump the rev limiter but certain times I probably hung around that
6000 to 6500 range for awhile. My car has 135k and has been well taken care
of,...

Leon shows off the 'other side' of his brain by

I couldn't stand for this eloquent prose to flow and go basically unseen by

could and for that matter we all hope to have as many great adventures as...

SPEEDO CABLE LUBE by
Chris D'Agnolo
I've got some nasty whiring sound that appears to be coming from the dash
area. It comes and goes a bit but varies with speed not engine speed which
leads me to believe it's the speedo.
My question is, what's the chances of ridding myself of this menace? Does
the cable disconnect at the back of...

Oh boy, I really did it! I found a low milage (39k) 1999 base model for the
right price and picked it up tonight! I'm rather excited but I'll try not to
blather on too much in this one post. This one has a Jackson Racing header
and a monster-flow intake (beautiful growl with the pedal down,...

seat transfer NA to NB by
Chris D'Agnolo
Well, it appears that the seats transfer over and bolt up fine but the
inboard seat belt attachment is on the seat on my NB seat and on the M1 it
anchors to the driveline tunnel. Anyone transfered the female seat belt end
from the NB seat to the NA seat?

NB air bag by
Chris D'Agnolo
Guys, (and gals of course) I'm wondering how much it might cost to purchase
the drivers side air bag for a NB. Also, how few and far between they might
be to come along.
I love the Nardi NB steering wheel, have the opportunity to purchase one
very reasonable but w/o the air bag.
Help!
