Good day, I had such good luck with a question here before, I am back hoping for some more help. My 2002 Miata SE (blazing yellow mica) was bumped in a parking lot but shows no real damage. However a "piece" of paint approximately 1 inch by four inches has come off the bumper cap - right down to...

Are all M1 OEM alloys interchangeable? Can my 95 take 14" alloys from a 91 as well as 15" M-Edition wheels? Thanks Phil not Diane

I am seriously considering towing my 1990 Miata (first owner, I've had it since June '89) behind my motorhome. I am fairly confident that no modifications ( tranny lube pump, driveshaft disconnect) are required. My concern is with the odometer racking up mileage. Is the speedo cable driven from...

I have a Milford cargo Barrier in VGC. Suit E2000 or Ford Econovan . $120 will cover it. Laurie.

When I'm running in the desert all day long across country, I often like to run with the top up and the back window down. You can't run topless all day or you turn crispy and I'm not usually a big fan of AC. How hard is it to add a zipper to a 2004 non-zipper top? JJ

Does anyone have a reasonable fix, aside from purchasing the FM-ECU ? TIA... - L '97 STO, "Chouki" // Change TEJAS to TX to reply via eMail //

This is more out of curiosity than anything else. I just had a friend purge and refill my AC on the 92 with R-12. He has seven twenty pound cannisters of the R-12 that he bought many years ago when they started to phase it out. I was thinking about trying to buy one from him for the local Miata...

I was hoping that someone could run a carfax report on a miata's VIN that I am looking at. I was going to go ahead and subscribe if I find any more to look at, but I am too much of a cheap ******* to pay $25.00 for 1 report. Please reply to the above e-mail if you can help me out. Thanks! Pat

Hi, I'm gonna buy a used miata, and thought I'd check here to see if anyone can make a reccomendation on where the best bang for the buck is. I don't know which model years have what, or which is better, etc. I'm the guy who always buys the (fill in the year) and then everybody says,...

Anyone know where I can get just a lens, or pair of lenses, without having to replace the entire light assy? It's a Hella part. Tried looking up the Hella part number but it's not in any catalog I could see. I am afraid the lights from the dealer are going to cost an arm and a leg. Lights still...

2000 with power windows. The driver's side suddenly won't go down. The passenger side works and there looks to be 1 fuse for both so my hopes of a simple fix got dashed to pieces. So do I start with the switch or rip the door apart first? Other things I can check? The switch doesn't feel broken and...

Does anyone have a cure for a high idle that comes on after 30 minutes of highway speeds? It settles in around 1600 RPM and stays there for another 20 minutes. What gives? It's a 1990 5-speed base model with A/C. Help!!

per an earlier post, the repair of a convertible top slashed by a radio thief -- using elmer's stix-all adhesive, commonly available (like at walgreen's for about $6.00 a tube) -- passed its first serious storm test by holding-up very well. if this stuff works, and it seems to, it saves about...

I cam out this morning and couldn't get the thing to shift until the car had warmed up for about five minutes. The clutch has felt the last week ro so as if it's not disengaging until the pedal is almost all the way down. throw bearing? clutch? It has been moist around here recently. JJ

I need two OEM 15" alloy wheels for a 1999 Miata. Found out two of mine are bent and out of round. Please e-mail if you have some for sale. Thanks.

Hey all- My MX5 was killed by an inconsiderate Chrysler 300 last year. I was about to replace the drivers door mirror at the time (glass fell out after losing the black trim strip). So, I have the glass left. Item is over $80 to get the whole housing from Mazda (they do not sell just the glass...

Hello friends at rec.autos.makers.mazda.miata, I have a '99 Miata automatic with overdrive. I would like to know if it is alright to shift in and out of OD manually instead of leaving it on all the time. If I leave OD on it seems to shift into OD too quickly. Craig
