Hi all- I've decided it's time to replace my my 90b. While I was heavily tempted to get the NC, I'm opting for an NB (mainly to keep costs down and I like some of the NB styling over the NC). The car is in the Las Vegas area and is sold as is/where is. The car is in pretty decent shape for its age...

Just another quick post to thank everyone again for their help. I visited my local Mazda dealership today and had the light checked out. Indeed, it is the catalytic converter. You guys just saved me $1500!!!! The warranty will cover the replacement! They didn't ask any questions about how it...

Ok... Dumb question. How do the headlight bulds come out on my 2000?? I tried turning them but they don't seem to want to go and I don't want to force it if I'm doing it wrong. Please respond before dark :) -- Scott Streeter http://www.wpi.edu/~ss/

I'm replacing my old motor but wanted to at least get the 1991 Mazda B2200 truck in running order before starting that job. Sometimes a spark gets to the coil just fine and sometimes not. What steps do I take to find the problem? Thanks Martha

Hi all- I saw the relatively recent thread on lubing the speedo (at least I think it was here), and tried to lubricate mine today. The problem I has is that the housing on the end of the cable was sealed so that I coudln't get any of the spray lube to go into the cable. Anyone have any ideas on how...

Anybody know how to find out if my 1997 MX5 (sr limited) has the standard or sports suspension ? I need new rear shocks but Im not sure what to get. Cheers Neil

Anyone with auto trans (6 speed) what do you think. Dave

The driver's side window on my '97 Miata has been acting sluggish and apparently drawing lots of amps lately. At first I thought that the window and/or mechanism needed to be lubricated, but the dealer said that the motor was in decline and needed replacement. I'm now planning on having the job...

I recently bought a used Mazda 323 Executive (1996 model, 1.8 ang engine) . My problem is that it did not come with an owner's manual. Being a complete idiot when it comes to cars, I badly need an owner's manual to know which fluid needs topping up after X number of miles, when the service is due,...

'92 White A/LS rear Driver rear caliper problem. The emergency wasn't holding on hills after a rotor and pad change (ceramics and slots). Tried to adjust the emergency to get the engagement a little earlier and a pin came out on the end of the allen wrench. I think I'm in trouble here, the L rear...

I have an 02 Miata (stock suspension). Every time I go over a significant bump, the rear view mirror flops downward at the joint on the back of the mirror. Is there any way to tighten up that joint?

Looking for some advice - should I replace my alternator with one that is a) rebuilt b) used c) new one from a dealer (is this really new or rebuilt?) ? Thanks.

Guys, Sometime ago I owned a 99 Miata with a 5-speed manual. One funny thing about this car was that when you were in 5th gear, the tach and the speedo were almost perfectly parallel. I thought this was strange when I owned the car. Now, this car had aftermarket wheels so I am not sure if the...
