timing belt update by pws[_1_]
Everything looks good except the timing belt. The camshaft spins, no stuck tensioners, water pump looks good. The belt looks great except for a clean break, I am guessing and hoping it was defective. I will put the new one on tomorrow, set the timing and see what happens. This seems to be very...

Time for a new suspension? by Chip L
'90 w/ 96,000 miles Purchased the car 2 wks ago. Car is in stunning condition. I suspect that the suspension/shocks may be worn. The car occasionally bottoms out in the rear. It also shudders on rough surfaces. Front / steering feels very tight. How can I tell if shocks are shot?

Water in the passenger footwell by CR
There have been a few torrential rains in the area recently. After the rain storms, there was a substantial puddle under the passenger seat of our 2006 MX-5. Where could it be getting in? It *seems* the water is coming from under the bulkhead behind the seat. Yes - the top was up!

I have a 96 Miata with only 39K miles that I bought used a few months back. I was at an autocross event the past weekend and heard a clunking noise a few times during my earlier runs during hard cornering. I didn't notice anything in my later runs, but I wasn't as jerky in my later runs either. ...

Can someone run a Carfax report for me? by Iva
I'm looking at a 2002 with only 29,000 miles on it, in pretty good condition and at a not-too unreasonable price. VIN is JM1NB353520234402 if someone can run it for me. And it's red too. ;-) Iva, temporarily Miata-less

Removing Wax from Pock-Marked Hood by KKennedy
My beloved '99 has a seriously pock-marked hood and front fenders. Meteorite damage, I am sure. I did not become truly aware of this until I waxed the car and was left with white wax speckles all over these surfaces. Any thoughts on how to remove them? Such as a wax stripper?
