Got Smoke by
KWS
My '90 developed a problem today that occurred once before (approx 3
months ago) but "fixed itself" before I could troubleshoot it. The
symptoms are huge amounts of white smoke blowing out the tailpipe and

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)

Shocks or struts? by
Mark[_13_]
Pardon the probably very obvious question. I'm planning to replace my
shock absorbers this weekend (as long as I get the job done before the

counter asked me if I...

1990-spec) fitted next week and will need to get the car set up again

it is, I can...
