Polishing the valve cover by
Chris D'Agnolo
I'd like some input from anyone who has first or second hand experience with
this. I know that there is one good article (with a great pic) on miata.net
but I found surprisingly little else. I know it's allot of work (the
miata.net article estimated 20 hrs!) but I may go for it. My questions...

Totalled Mazdaspeed on ebay by
Chris D'Agnolo
It's really not that bad either. Front end damage. They claim the engine
even still runs fine. Interior (leather) and everything on back are great.
It's the grey color 04 and the wheels look real good too. At a $4500 'buy
now' price it's tempting! Anybody here interested check this...

Where are you and your Miata? by
Chris D'Agnolo
Well, Pat (PWS) has mentioned a couple of times that only a small handful of
folks hang out on this group these days. While I'm not usually inclined to
try to prove him wrong, on this particular issue, I would love to. Would
everyone who see's this message, please reply with CITY, STATE (and...

O2 sensor replacement by
Chris D'Agnolo
My 99 now has ~81k and the CEL came on the other day. I checked the code and
it indicates the #2 O2 sensor (down stream from the cat) is not sending a
signal. I scooted under the car and fiddled around with it a bit. I saw
where it into the interior of the car through the floor board behind the...

HELP! Transmission / Clutch by
Chris D'Agnolo
All the sudden my car doesn't want to shift into reverse! I've had very
little problem with this in the past. An occasional; put it in first and
nudge forward, then go back into reverse ok but, I thought that was pretty
normal. It hasn't been doing it allot lately but when I got home tonight and...

'Top Hats'value? by
Chris D'Agnolo
Anybody have a clue what a used set of 'top hats' (I believe that's the
term) should sell for? I've got a set available and a person interested so,
I'm just wondering. Is there an approximate value (relative to new) like 50%
or 33% of what new would cost that is considered a guideline?
My guess...

Tasers by
Chris D'Agnolo
Remember awhile back we had a fairly lively discussion about the use / over
use of tasers by police? Well, this month, Patrick Bedard discusses this
issue in his Car and Driver editorial. He even discusses the Austin Texas
video and the one (I believe in Colorado?) where the guy tries to get the...

NB Timing Belt life by
Chris D'Agnolo
I know the standard stuff, scheduled replacement @ 60k, but non-interference
so, why not go to 90k, it probably still won't break.
Well, I'm nearing 90k and I know I'm going to have to do this but, can
anybody tell me of an NB timing belt that DID actually break and at what
mileage it...

? on starting by
Chris D'Agnolo
It seems my car's been taking a bit longer to start these days and I'm
wondering if something's on the verge of failing. Tell me what ya'all think.
Car does always start and turns over as rapidly as ever however, it seems
like it's having to turn over for a longer and longer time before it fires...

White Paint on NA's by
Chris D'Agnolo
Anthony's recent post about purchasing a NA White Miata got me thinking
about a couple of questions I've never gotten a good answer to.
1) Anybody else notice allot of white cars / trucks from the early 90's had
paint peeling problems ?
2) Was this cooincidence or was there an EPA mandated change...

NB sway bars by
Chris D'Agnolo
On my 92, upgraded swaybars were the best money I ever spent (legally). Is
the same true on the NB? Anyone know stock bar thickness (front and back)
off the top of their head. The PO may have upgraded them already, not sure.
TIA,
Chris

Hello by
Chris D'Agnolo
Been out of the loop for awhile (computer problems) came back tonight and
thought I was connected to the Automotive History Channel Newsgroup!
Nice stuff guys, hand cranks, 2CV's, MG's, and on and on. Cool stuff!
My hand crank experience is limited to 4cyl propane engines on terrazzo
grinders!...

Mazdaspeed MX-5 NC? by
Chris D'Agnolo
I just had a brilliant idea (you won't argue with this one Pat)! Fit the
same hot-rod engine from the Mazdaspeed 3 / 6 into the new NC! Why the heck
not? The bar has been raised that high by none other than GM! Mazda must
respond!
The brilliant part is, the same old benefit of parts sharing....

Better newsreader by
Chris D'Agnolo
I've seen this mentioned before but being 'comfortable' with how Outlook
Express works with newsgroups, I haven't really pursued an alternate. Should
I? I know some will say yes but is that the general consensus? Others using
OE?
Are there cheap / free (and good) alternatives out...
