Valve noise. by
[email protected]
Hi all. I have some questions concerning my son's 97 Miata. He has
owned it since 2001. Durning that time he has put 30,000 miles on it.
What can I say he likes computers.
I am getting a lot of top end noise from one of the cylinders in my
son's Miata.
My son doesn't drive his Miata much. And...

Steering rack change for 1996-1997? by
pws[_1_]
Looking at the steering racks, I see one listed for 1990-1995 models and
one listed for 1996-1997 models.
Does anyone know what the difference is and why they changed it? It
seems strange since most changes like that occurred between 1993 and 1994.
I am specifically wondering if the tie rods...

Off-topic / GPS question by
pws[_1_]
A friend gave me a Garmin emap GPS from 1991. It's old but it works.
Anyway, I would like to upgrade to a more modern one, I can actually
still sell this for about $80.00 to help offset the cost.
I would rather have a hand-held unit, and I won't try to program it
while driving.
This would...

Profile and tire pressure by
Carbon
I was driving to work a while ago and noticed the car was pulling to the
right. As it turned out, the right front tire was flat and had a running
crack all around the sidewall. I don't know if the tire was low for a
while or whether I had run over something that morning. But with the 40
series...

Headlight/Foglight trouble question by
zenmartini
A few weeks ago my fog lights stopped working. Yesterday while driving
from Tampa to NJ, just my left lowbeam failed. I replaced the bulb and
that didn't do it. I don't have a shop manual and I've only had my
2000 Miata a short time. Is it possible that the headlight issue is
the headlight relay?...

1995 Mazada Miata Oil Leak by

I recently had the oil pan seal replaced. Within ten day the real
seal on the transmission started to leak. The mechanic told me this
is normal due to the increase in pressure caused by replacing the oil
pan seal. I have asked two other mechanics and they agree with the
origional answer. There...

Which Brake Pads by
Scott Streeter[_1_]
Just looking for an inexpensive set of pads for my 2000. Moss Motors
has Standard replacement pads in Genuine Mazda Parts and
"aftermarket". The aftermarket are significantly cheaper. Anyone try
these? Also they have Mintex pads which are only slighty more. I was
leaning toward them since I can...

Door won't open: Solution by
Dransfield
I had these symptoms:
Door won't open, and then interior handle just doesn't feel like its doing
anything.
You may notice that the outside handle (which also won't open the door) is
slow 'return'.
Also the interior lock slider doesn't operate as nicely as the other door.
Opening the door:

Miata air scoop by

I just installed the scoop that directs air down to the feet when it's
hot. That's bothered me ever since we bought the Miata. 95 degrees
outside and my feet are cooking down there. It apparantly works like
it says it's supposed to. I'm tickled with it. I have no affiliation
whatsoever with the...

Can rotating the tires extend their life by 20%? by
[email protected]
So I'm looking at BFG G-Force Sports for my next set of tires.
Ordering online + installation charges would be a hair over $400
total, if I did all four tires at the same time.
Or, the local Discount Tire can do it for $467 including free
rotations for the life of the tires.
You see where I'm...

Alignment question by
Peter A Kaufman
Hi
I mostly lurk here, but just bought new Toyo T1R's for my 2001. What would
be the best compromise. Alignment with no weight in car, with my weight in
drivers seat, or some weight in both seats, or does it really matter that
much. This is just for street driving.
Thanks
Peter
