Newby questions! by
XS11E
What's the preferred cheapy manual for Miatas, Clymer, Haynes, ????
Can the clutch be adjusted? Mine released and engages way too high,
I'd like it to be a little closer to the floor when it engages.

Zipperless top???? by
XS11E
How the heck do these things work with a glass window? I've got an
almost new top on my 1992 with the zippered window and I really can't
see how the no zipper type would allow the top to be lowered.
Can someone explain it or do I need to go pester the dealer to show me
one?
BTW, as I said, my...

How 'bout those Steelers!
NOTE: I liked the Seahawks but SWMBO* told me I was for the
Steelers.... they won and now she's happy, I noticed when she's happy,
I'm happier so all's well that ends well.

Drove a new MX5 today and... by
XS11E
....absolutely detested the car! The very last thing I expected is the
car would hurt, the seat put a pain in my back that still hasn't gone
away, the throttle position caused enough pain in my ankle to where I
had to use the cruise control and the left hand cup holder, the one
built into the door...

NGK Ignition wires where? by
XS11E
I'm about to replace the spark plugs and ignition wires on the Miata,
here's what's near me:
Checker Auto, Auto Zone. Farther away is Pep Boys, NAPA, BAP and Mazda
dealer.
Does anyone know which of the above might carry the NGK blue wires? I
could call but I'd spend forever on "hold" IF I could...

Fuel economy by
XS11E
It's been a little warm so I've had the AC running a lot and driving
almost entirely in traffic. I just filled up today and the gas mileage
is 27mpg for this last tank. Does this seem normal for a '92 with the
1.6 engine? It seems maybe a bit low to me, I'm wondering if it's time
for new plugs...

New bug, fast idle. by
XS11E
My 1992 Miata has started idling around 1800 rpm several days ago. It
began happening very intermittently but it's almost all the time now.
Miata.net isn't very helpful but I may not be looking in the right
place?
Today it stayed high all the time I was running errands* and it doesn't
matter if...

Gas mileage. by
XS11E
I filled up today after my trip to California last week and the average
came out to around 28.4 mpg for the entire trip, that includes some
driving around there and here but mostly freeway and highway driving.
I think the average might have been higher if I could have avoided the
traffic jams on...

Steering rack? by
XS11E
Mine's leaking, can anyone give me a ball park figure as to replacing
it? I'm doubtful if I can do the work myself, just jacking up the car
and looking under it has me laid up for the rest of today... <sigh>

Radio question. by
XS11E
The radio on my Miata expired some time back and the previous owner
agreed to get me a replacement. Who know one that will fit in the
space provided?
I'd like AM/FM/CD with presets and not real expensive, is there such a
critter? I need make and model number please.
Thanks!

Disabling the console trunk release by
XS11E
Since I can't lock my center console, this seemed like a very good idea
but I'm unable to remove the lock?
http://www.miata.net/garage/techtrunk1.html
It says: "Two bolts hold the lock in place, remove them with a 10mm
socket. The lock should now be free. The easiest way to remove the
cylinder is...

Question for the group... by
XS11E
The Miata replaced the BMW R100RT because I'm not able to ride anymore
and can't walk very far due to arthritis in my lower back, knees, hips,
etc..
Because of that, I've got one of those pretty blue handicap tags to
hang on my rear view mirror when I park in a handicap space. FWIW,
Arizona will...

Handicap placard problem solved. by

Went to MVD today and got a handicap plate for the Miata. I also
renewed the placard so I can use it in my other car(s). There was a
bit of a wait but no cost, it was pretty easy and painless. I

done when I got there and that...

No, I haven't lost it yet (although my exwife will argue that) I mean
I'm leaving. The Miata and I are off to California tomorrow AM to see

she's been 18 several times before!).

My Miata got broken into yesterday, someone got into the passenger side by
