I'd been wanting to pull the cam angle sensor for quite some time to replace the O-ring as it had been seeping oil for quite some time. I finally got the opportunity but I know now, I should have waited. I tried to do it when the engine was still pretty hot..........stupid, I know now. The idea is...

Hey, here's a good reason for an off topic post! Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to a bunch of the coolest folks around! This group is so much fun because, while it is as focused a newsgroup as I have come across, it is still real people behind these keyboards and that shows thru! I only wish...

Hey guys, I've had a great time with the "Where are you and your Miata" thread. I'd like to post the results. I've entered them into an excel spreadsheet. What's the best way? I can attach the spreadsheet but not everybody has excel. I can print it, scan it and send it as a .jpg attachment. As...

If ya'll knew how much fun I had seeing how wide reaching this group really is well, you just wouldn't believe it. I can say that I'm still trying to figure out why Miata folks tend to be so ......'special' (I won't elaborate as some heads might inflate and foil my theory). I have a theory and I...

Window (monitor?) shopping and came across what I consider to be a great deal on an 04 north of Houston (Conroe, TX). Only six thousand miles for $15.6k. It's Titanium (the only acceptable 04 MSM color ;-) with cloth interior. Check it out on autotrader.com if interested. I wish I could go get...

Just to stir the pot a little, I'd love to hear how many Miatas folks have owned and approximately how many miles they have put on those Miatas. To start it off I can say that I've owned 2. - 1992 SE Black and Tan (put ~75k on it over ~5 yrs) and currently - 1999 Base model Black / Black / Black...

Ok, the Scangauge II has made one thing abundantly clear, intake air temp is a problem I need to tend to, to improve the performance of my car (even though I've only noticed the problem in stop and go driving in 90+ degree weather, I'm seeing that intake air temps are 20~50 degrees above...

Wow, it's a shame to see so few posts on what's been the best newsgroup I've ever run across! Are 'we' just inundated with too many ways to communicate? Is everyone twittering (whatever the hell that is) and facebooking and myspacing and blogging (how did I almost forget blogging?) Who blogs for...

I know we have some serious computer nerds here, and I say that affectionately, even jealously ;-) Microsoft, in their own form of brilliance (stupidity really!), when XP changed to Vista, Outlook Express was dropped in favor of 'Microsoft Mail' which, is about the same but just enough...

Just for fun, and to see if anyone is still hanging around, I wondering what people's longest, single day 'Miata drive' has been. I'm not talking about jumping on the freeway and heading to a distant city but a drive just for fun. It can include some highway driving (especially if you live in...

Massimo, this newsgroup has become like a ghost town, if you know what I mean. I think we are witnessing the death of news groups, not sure. I wish you best of luck, just saying don't put too many eggs in this basket ;-). Chris D'Agnolo 99BBB "massimo" > wrote in message...

Well, I'm almost posting this just because there hasn't been enough activity here lately ;-) Come on guys, there is interesting stuff (miata related) going on out there, right? Anyway, this is OT I guess but since there's nothing On Topic going on, I consider it a free pass. Tomorrow I'm...

Let me try this again w/o the attachment to see if that works better. cd "Chris D'Agnolo" > wrote in message news:... > > I did this a couple years ago and had a good time with it. Last update was > Dec '07 so, let's get it up to date! Here's the old results in text...

It's amazing how quickly even the good things go down hill when things in general start to go haywire. This has been a vibrant and focused group for a long time. The most vibrant and focused newsgroup I've ever visited. The only one that ever seemed worth coming back to. This group's always been...

Guys (and Gals) I made it back this weekend from the Miatas 20 year birthday celebration at Laguna Seca in Monterey CA! What a total blast. I visited with a bunch of my family in Phoenix and stopped off to spend some time with my little sister in the LA area. See...

Anybody here planning to be there? I'm scheming real hard to figure out a way to do it. It's ~1800 miles each way for me! Looks like too much fun to pass up though. Chris 99BBB

I've been disconnected a long time, haven't seen anything from Bruno since I've been back. Let me know my friend! Anybody else know? Chris 99BBB

Ya, maybe it's corny asking but I'd be willing to bet that most people had their Miata involved in their Valentines Day plans in some way, shape or form. Come on, spill the beans! Chris 99BBB

Believe it or not, I finally solved my computers grievance with this newsgroup (for the time being at least) and was able to get it to download the latest posts. I've got some catching up to do! One of the worlds most prolific 'top-posters' is back! 'bout time, Chris still with the 99BBB

Great idea in my opinion.Both companies have a great opportunity here! As whacky as Mazda styling is getting, the Alfa has my attention even after many years of Miatas! The engine being by Alfa / Fiat has me just a touch worried but it seems Fiat has gotten it's act together these days, long as...
