Should I lose the top? Turbo stuff too. by
pws[_1_]
It looks like the OTM is mine. Now I have to decide on the Miata. It is
already a bit of a nightmare for a modern daily driver, with no A/C, no
P/S, no cruise control, no windshield washer, manual mirrors and
windows, you name it, and it probably does not have it.
This is the opposite of my...

Looking for Right Hand Drive Miatas? by
pws[_1_]
They got 1600 Miatas together in Japan for the 20th anniversary. Looks
like quite a few right hand drive models over there. :-)

Lanny - Alignment settings on a Honda Accord - NMC by
pws[_1_]
Lanny,
I remember you having an Accord as your OTM at some point before buying
your Mazda3.
Did you have a particular set of alignment numbers that you went with? I
want long life out of the tires, but a little performance handling even
in this car would be nice.
When you took the Accord in...

Love my fixed '97 M .... and a question. by
Tim M.
Well, I have been driving my repaired 1997 M model for about three
weeks now, and I have to say I love the car just as much as I did my
1992. I can't say that I'm mad about the leather seats, as thery do
contribute to sweaty back, but other than that.... very happy, big
grins. I'll be driving it...

Oil in '09 MX-5 by
TRCSr[_2_]
Does anyone know what brand/type of oil comes in the '09 MX-5. I know that
it is 5W-20 weight, but is it synthetic or natural, Mazda specific or from
an oil company?
Thanks.

The price on the Westco battery seems pretty good if you need one, I
shopped around when I bought mine and think I had to pay a couple of
bucks more....

Is this the end? OTM question by
pws[_1_]
I figured I would ask here before heading over to the Toyota newsgroups.
The car is a 1994 Camry, with approximately 170,000 miles. It has been
squealing from the belt area, and I thought it was the A/C compressor
pulley. Wrong pulley, this is the main drive pulley.
The belts came off and the...

cooling fan by
Ed
I am trying to find a used primary radiator cooling fan for my miata, I find
plenty of Auxilary/compressor fans, but the main fan seems rare in used
units, is the shortage due to it being a common failure point?

NC MX-5 video by
pws[_1_]
For those who want to waste a bit of time watching some MX-5 stuff.
No really fast driving, it is more discussing the Miata history and what
is is all about than anything else, with some driving and excellent
scenery thrown in.
Watching the guy break his own ghetto Miata wing is worth the time...

1.6 timing belt by

hi,
i may have the chance to trade doing a 91 1.6 timing belt for some
upholstery work.
clearly i have done the 1.8 timing belt a few times :), is there any
thing vastly different doing the 1.6? i think it would be a good idea
to do the water pump at the same time. but other than that, is the...

Fog Light replacement by

I have a 2000 Miata and have had two of the fog light housings
replaced due to melting of the plastic housing at the base of the
light. Anyone else have this problem? The first was replaced under
warranty and now I have to replace another.
I am considering replacing them with after market fog...
