hi, where do you think is the best/most effective place to buy/sell a miata? thanks, peter

hi, other than belt dressing, what can be done to quiet squealing belt? tia, peter

hi, yes connecticut once again has an emission program and my 95 miata failed w/ high hydrocarbons, (185 vs a pass @ 167). i am wondering if this is due to the fact that the jr supercharger on the car froze an idler wheel and shortly there after the belt. i have ordered both parts and i am...

Yes, it is. Late this afternoon, the hardtop went on. 8;( -- Larry

It is truly the saddest day of the year -- the hardtop went on a few minutes ago. 8;( -- Larry

Well, it finally happened. My beloved 1995 R package has bitten the dust. A few weeks ago, I had a very low speed collision. At the worst intersection I know of, the Toyota SUV ahead of me pulled out, then nailed the brakes. By that time, I was accelerating in first behind her, watching the gap in...

Free to good Miata home: Four American Racing 14" x 6" five-spoke mag wheels (decently light for autocross, etc.) with Dunlop D40 185/55-14 tires, good tread left. Pictu http://www.xhost.org/ebay/amracing.jpg Pick-up only in Old Town Alexandria, VA, USA. -- Larry )

Earlier today, I test drove a nice new Mica Red Metallic Miata with the folding hard top (the car that was on display recently at the Washington DC Auto Show) with the top both up and down. The hard top is impressive, and leaves decent trunk space -- about the same size, but looks a bit deeper...

i think it is time to replace the battery on my 95... par for the course, the miata battery is a bit unusual, (u1rt), and therefore probably expensive. autozone has an autocraft silver for $110. are there other good choices? thanks, peter

errrr hi, any tricks to torque the crank bolt on a 95 w/o the special service tool? thanks, peter

Hi, Can anybody please run a carfax history report for the vin number knadc123626196853 Thanks, Prajwal

I recently bought a used Mazda 323 Executive (1996 model, 1.8 ang engine) . My problem is that it did not come with an owner's manual. Being a complete idiot when it comes to cars, I badly need an owner's manual to know which fluid needs topping up after X number of miles, when the service is due,...

I own a 2005 1.8l sport with 13,000 Km, LSD, 6 Speeds, ABS. Being a new owner, I have noticed a phenomena, that I do not know whether is characteristic or a problem. My clutch does not shudder either in 1st or in Reverse. However, whenever I am doing a parallel parking maneuver, when the car is...

Hi, I've just bought a 91 Miata NA, in Silverstone. She's a lovely car, and her tires are certainly 'ok'; but, I'm thinking I'd like to replace them for something a bit more performance oriented, and hopefully also something a bit smoother. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Try this one, it has air-bag error codes as well as all the wiring diagrams for all Miata's 1990 to 2000, Mods with pictures and a VIN decoder chart! www.madracki.com/miata Tom

I just recently subscribed to this NG so forgive me if this has been discussed many times before but..... Why hasn't Mazda offered the more powerful engine from the MazdaSpeed 3 for the Miata. It seems to me a natural for those looking for a "bigger bang". Professor

I'm at an age where I look for the small things in life to give me pleasure. I've loved the look and the idea of a Miata for years but my practicality always led me to other cars. I own a 2006 Mazda3 GT but I'm looking to trade it in for a MX-5. I don't have the cash for a new one, so I'm on the...

I bought a 2002 Miata a few months back and have been slowly learning the finer arts of being an owner. When changing the oil today, I noticed the valve cover has 1.6 DOHC on it. I thought 2002's were 1.8L. What is the deal?

I recently bought a Miata with worn tires on the rear, the front pretty good. So, I decided to replace the rear tires. Having bought the car, the old bank account was about as dry as a parched well in Arizona. Decided to buy a couple of Daytona tires with a wear rating of 530, even harder than...
