AC question by
Mac[_2_]
I have a 1990 Miata 1.6l. The compressor is failing and the new ones
are too expensive so looking at a used one. The guy at Partsgroup
said that I can use one all the way up to 1999 and it will still fit
with no modifications or troubles. Has any one done this or knows if
this will work? Just...

Alignment and a clever plan. by
Alan Baker
Well, I don't know if it will happen this year or not (it's starting to
look like not; unforeseen life expenses will eat into your discretionary
budget <sigh>), but I'm definitely going to put a high end suspension on
my 1990 as my next major upgrade. I'm still not sure what it will be,
but it...

Got 'em! by
Alan Baker
I just this moment got back from a long weekend road trip to Pullman,
Washington, where in addition to meeting a bunch of friends for much
golf, one friend in particular had agreed to act as my shipping
destination for my new wheels and tires.

Next up: suspension upgrades by
Alan Baker
So the new wheels and tires are a big hit...
....and new spark plugs have put a little zip back into the engine...
....and big brakes are out for now, because:
1. The 15x7.5 6ULs won't fit over any of the aftermarket big brake kits
without spacers (small ones; maybe 10mm max.); minor
2. I had...

KKraftwerks Super Charger by
Clark Friedrichs[_3_]
Folks,
I've installed a Kraftwerks super charger on our '03, and after resolving a
minor glitch, we just love it; although customer service could use just a
little work.
The only issue I have, is that I had to uninstall our Thompson Automotive
oil filter relocation kit, the oil reservoir and...

Since I got my new wheels and tires (949Racing.com's 6ULs in 15x7.5 with
Toyo Tires T1Rs in 195/50) I've started to feel the love for my Miata
again. After the drive home along highway 2 in Washington State and
showing them off to everyone, I've:

Antenna mast replacement failure. by
Grant Edwards[_3_]
Last summer the toothed plastic leader in my NB antenna mast broke.
When I turned the radio on or off, the motor in the trunk would whir
for 10-15 seconds but the antenna didn't move. So I unplugged the
three-wire connector from the motor assembly and left the antenna in
the "up" position over the...

Wow! by
[email protected]
Is this group really defunct?
The car's run on but the enthusiasm is gone.
Guess it's better to have the entusiasm in the car on the road than at a
desk.
Guess I'll go on the raod and collect waves!

Weird AC problem. by
XS11E[_1_]
Yesterday the 1992 Miata got a bath, charged up the battery (I
haven't driven it in awhile, it bothers my knee too much. Time to
sell?) and off I go, top up, AC on, AC seemed to cool for a few
blocks and then started blowing hot air. Got where I was going and
parked for a few hours, going home...

Another strange AC problem by
Mac[_2_]
Have a strange AC issue. 1990 Miata. New compressor, expansion valve,
pressure switch, drier. All gauge values look good. Run it for a
while, no set time. Then it will just stop and the rpm's will jump up
to around 2000. can hit the switch and turn of the ac and the rpm's go
back to normal. ...

Aw: 99 Miata Radiator Cooling Fan Relay? by
Roman
Sure, as the fan is working it might be the relay, cabling or the temperature sensor. I don't have a wiring diagram available to check, it might also be one of the fuses.
Maybe you can find more useful information in the workshop manual on how to locate the damaged part (google or...
