Questions before buying a Miata by
[email protected]
Hi all, I am considering buying a Miata and I have several questions I
hope you kind folks can answer.
For the past decade I have driven Honda hatchbacks, which I like
because they are reasonably small, durable, fuel-efficient vehicles
that handle well. It sounds like the Miatas meet those...

Finding springs for a 1990 Protege by
Colin Odden
I just bought a 1990 Protege (not 4WD) and saw that the rear suspension
was pretty worn. We didn't see just how bad it was until we go the
struts off... both of the springs are very worn and one is broken. I was
able to buy struts without any problem, but I can't find springs to save
my life. I've...

Regular vs High Test by

Does high octane gas generate more pollutants out the exhaust than regular
(lower octane gas)? Just curious.

Hello,
I have a '94 miata which has a rough idle and slow response at lower
RPMs. Since I have had the car for 45,000 miles and have not replaced
the ignition cables yet, I think I will try replacing them and see if
it fixes the problem. Can anybody describe how to replace them? Is it
as simple...

Miata Parts by
[email protected]
Hi gang
Long time no post. Been a long time since I needed some gaskets/seals
for my Miata. Where is the best place on the internet to find these? I
remember a place called "Performance Finish" or something like that.
Is that still around?
Thanks!
Cissy

Ignition Timing/Power on '90 Miata by
Robbi
The ignition timing on my '90 Miata (manual 5-speed) needs to be set w-a-y out of specs (about 18 degrees BTDC instead of 10) for the car to have any pick-up at all. At that setting, the car idles well and drives well, but has a very pronounced hesitation/flat spot when starting from a stand-still...
