Newby questions!

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.

excited about a car since... well, can't recall when?

Next time you hear from me, it'll be sitting in the driveway.

I've got the Haynes and one called Mazda Miata Enthusiast's shop manual by
Rod Grainger and Pete Shoemark,
The later is better as it has more details, but is for is mainly Americans
with it's terminology
The Haynes procedures are easier to understand and follow for us Europeans,
but I still find myself going to the Enthusiasts manual for more details.

Good on ya mate,
Get that top down and feel the wind, unless of course it starts your
arthritis off.

It's here, title is transferred, new license plate is installed and I'm
OUTA HERE! Probably headed for Tortilla Flats, lots of twistys on the
way....

That's the one. I agree with Mark, that's by far the better, more detailed
one (and it even works for me here in the UK!)

Hey ya laugh, but it takes some getting your head around some of this
terminology you yanks use.
I don't know what have you guys done to the English language, besides rape
it.
