Creaky exhaust on Miata NC by
Chipper
Hi,
The exhaust on my 2008 2.0i Sport NC has really got creaky of late - and by
creaky I mean that as it expands/contracts, you can really hear the darned
thing, even while the engine is still on. I've never known a noisier steel
exhaust and it's so crazy I wonder if anyone else has...

Valve Cover Gasket - Where to buy? by
Hal
All,
When I did the WP, hoses, belts...all that stuff on my 97 a few months
back, I got all my parts from Rock Auto. The valve cover gasket I used
was a "Fel Pro VS50364R".
The box clearly stated to install the gasket dry, which I did, with
the exception of putting dots of sealer at the six...

WOW! New radio.... by
XS11E[_1_]
Just put the original AM/FM Cassette unit back into my Miata after my
cheap aftermarket unit died. It's about the only thing that looks like
it was made for the car and works.
I usually listen only to ESPN on the AM radio so I won't miss the FM or
the CD player but I will miss the larger cubby...

Synthetic Oil switchover at 77,000 miles? OTM question by
pws[_1_]
The OTM that I recently received is just about to hit 78,000 miles, and
it is a 1995 model.
It has always been serviced with dino oil, as far as I know.
Would you, (the group), switch to synthetic oil on a car of this age and
mileage?
I was considering Mobile One in 10W-30W.
The mileage seems...

I have a car that will not start with the battery, but will jump start.
The battery in the car is fine, brand new and tested perfect. I even
took the battery from the car that did the jump starting to test it and

Maybe summer is over? by
XS11E[_1_]
Had the top down tonight coming home around 10PM. I wore a jacket, it
wasn't cold enough to really need it but it was more comfortable with
it than without.
First time I've worn a jacket since ????
Just checked the temperature, it was below 80F, too cold to support
human life! Damn, I'm...

'95 R bites the dust... by
pltrgyst[_1_]
Well, it finally happened. My beloved 1995 R package has bitten the
dust.
A few weeks ago, I had a very low speed collision. At the worst
intersection I know of, the Toyota SUV ahead of me pulled out, then
nailed the brakes. By that time, I was accelerating in first behind her,
watching the gap in...

Does 2003 Shinsen include "sport" supspension? by
Grant Edwards[_3_]
I'm shopping for shocks for my '03 Shinsen, and I'm finding
conflicting info on whether the Shinsen has the standard
supsension (which will fit KYB AGX shocks) or the "sport"
supsension, (which requires different shocks than the standard).
For example, both miatamania.com and...

But I wanted to ask some other MSM owners a few questions...to start
off, have you had any problems? Mine has 52,000 miles on it, was a

Shopping the other day. While in the store a brutal thunderstorm appeared
out of nowhere. The top was up, but the back window was down. I figured
I'd be OK unless the rain was horizontal from North to South. Guess what?
After the storm it was as if the car had been submerged. The only...
