Hello, Do I have to pull the intake manifold to replace the plugs on a 01 MPV? Also, I called the dealer after reading about a TSB calling for 5w20 oil... He said the recommendation is 5w30... any ideas?

Help with dash light problem! My 97 Miata's dash lights periodically don't work. Sometimes if I wait a day or so, the lights will work again. But at the moment, I can turn off the lights/engine and retry with no luck. My dimmer switch has not worked for a long time, but now the dash lights...

We're about to have our first baby and I'm wondering about using a baby seat in my MX-5. Is there one that'll fit? Is this irresponsible since it would be in the "front seat" (there being no back seat!)? Eric

http://www.itv-motoring.com/road_test/mazda/10155.asp Not sure if this version is only available in the UK but here's an interesting write-up about it. The reviewer thinks it's got "too much power", making you want to take it out on the motorway all the time and making it not as enjoyable as the...

Greets. Been lurking here a month or so while researching our new car purchase. Test drove Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS and the MX-5. The Solstice and the Sky have really nice styling, and corner well. The engine and transmission are straight out of the Chevy...

I have a boot for a M1 miata that is missing one of the pull-fasteners. Are these available separately? Thanks, Pat

it looks good but I am tired of cleaning off pollen, dust etc. Anyone have experience with the Mazda factory dash kits or any other. I would like to get the same as what is on the 2006 Special edition.

Mazda says, 'Out with Miata and in with MX-5' at http://www.washtimes.com/autoweekend/20060525-011049-2751r.htm

I have done quite abit of research on this - Getting ready to do this with a 2005 Miata 6-spd. Everything that I have read indicates that the 6-spd transmission was redesigned (or is a different design) than the 5-spd and should have less lubrication problems when towed. Have corresponded with a...

I recently purchased a super low mileage 1990 miata with short crank. It's really beautiful and looks like new. I'd like to have the skinny crank installed for a personal feeling of security when I'm driving through the desert at night. At his point I don't have a handle on the possible cost of...

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a 3.636 Torsen diff? I would like to install it into my Mazdaspeed MX5 now that I have given it the FM "treatment". TIA

My Niece just bought a '96 M edition Miata. Starlight blue with tan top and interior. The floor mats are the same tan with the M Edition logo in blue. The problem is, is that the mats are extremely sun bleached. They would like to replace them with original mats but obviously in much...

Hello, We just bought a 01 MPV with 48k miles on it (Bought it Fri) Saturday, the car died in the driveway and wouldn't start (dead battery). The battery appeared to be newer, but I thought may be it is just a bad battery. I bought a new one put it in and started right up. This morning (on the...

The current 2L MZR-LF has a 2.3l big brother, the MZR-L3. (Mazda 3's can come with either.) Would it be possible to fit an MZR-L3 out of a wrecked Mazda 3 into a 2006 Miata? Just wondering...

I remember a situation very similar to this in my Datsun 280Z. I was forced off the highway onto the median and came back onto the road at a bad angle, causing me to spin out once the tires hit pavement again. The difference is that my wheels stayed on the ground, the car didn't crash, and nobody...
