As ski season winds down and autocross season starts up, I've been thinking about learning how to rotate (swap) tires myself. Since Sears is having a sale this week, and I don't have any of the appropriate tools, I put 2+2 together and have started picking some stuff out. If any of you all have a...

Do y'all find that using it only during the cold winter months is adequate, pulling it off during warmer spring/summer/first part of fall months. Or once you begin using it, do you just leave it hooked up year round??? TIA

I was just browsing saferacer.com and saw this product for a Miata. The performance gains of 5% sound like BS, but I was wondering if anyone has experience with this? It only caught my interest because it's cheap and easy to...

Hi All: I have a 1994 Miata that I've had for the past 10 years. Ownership of this car has been fabulous because it just about never gave me an ounce of trouble... until last month. Last month I spent close to $1000 on a tune up, new calipers, and a catalytic converter. Then this past Saturday my...

A short while ago I replaced the front O2 sensor after a CEL showed it was bad. Now (a couple gas tanks later) I'm getting P0421, indicating the front (pre-heat) cat has gone bad. Probably the failing O2 affected the cat, which has 150K miles. But I'm wondering if this code could be triggered by...

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...

Hi. I bought 2002 Miata and aparently my SRS module got bad and Dealer told me that I have to replace it. Any advise on how to disassemble the whole dashboard and get the unit out?

I've always felt the silver-gray body cladding on my 2003 Shinsen edition looked nice, but it's apparently going to be a bit of a hindrance to jacking the car up. For one thing, it seems unlikely I'm going to be able to use Lanny's trick of lifting one whole side with a jack and a grooved 2x4,...

I am thinking of doing the above, with a set of parts obtained from a Japanese spec Mk1 (Eunos). Can anyone offer any pointers please? I'm not sure how easy a job this is. I found an article on miata.net, but that appears to be for a Mk2 left hand drive. There don't appear to be any holes in...

Hope this is ok to post here. I'm selling a 2003 SE 6 speed - 32K miles and in excellent condition. It's a great car, but with 2 kids and a motorcycle, the Miata doesn't get out much and we could really use a free bay in the garage. Car is located in Mountain View, CA and priced to sell - see...

Hi, I apologize for the length of this message but I wanted to get all my thoughts in one post. I have a '90 Yellow Miata with 95,000 miles and going strong here in the Northeast US. The Mazda Alloy Wheels that came with the car have gotten cruddy over the years. Here is the sad part. I never...

Getting resistance while opening door. Should I use Lithium grease?

Hi, the window gaskets on my 95M get pushed up and bunch up at the top by the windows. i thought about gluing in place them but figured that they would end up tearing if I did that, so anyone have a good solution for this problem> tia, peter

Any opinions on this: http://store.miataparts.org/mibealunpa19.html I have the original plastic/cardboard/regurgitated-compressed-yakfat thingy which is pretty well shredded. I'm sure I can find better uses for $200 such as a couple of gallons of gasoline but...... -- XS11E, Killing all posts...

Folks; I'm having a problem with automatic transmission fluid getting into my cylinders and burning. It happens only occasionally, but in reading about other cars, the advice is to replace the "modulator valve". None of my three Miata manuals mentions an AT modulator valve and none of the online...

I just jack the back of the car up so Its always going down hill :)

HI, about 2k miles ago, i rebuild the tranny,(costly mistake, should have gone used), old jrsc, and motor on a 95M-ed w/ a jrsc. the machine guy, (excellent reputation and I have used him before), disassembled the reciprecating mass did various machining, (10 over) and reassembled it. he...

Starting to get some cracks on the side of the top, where it folds down. Was wondering if there was some kind of glue or silicon that would work to seal/batch it up. I do not want to replace the top at this point but don't want it to get worse. thanks.
