I'm past due for a new timing belt, 78000 miles on my '97. Is there any other maintenance that should be done at the same time? Thanks very much for any help.

I have a 2003 Miata that was driven in Florida for the last 2 years. Over the last year, the interior convertible latches, springs, and screws have developed some sort of white crust/oxidation on the exposed sections. It's not just limited to the interior, since I have also found that some of the...

I just heard from the dealer who is delivering my 2006 Miata. They are withholding it because of an airbag problem...so they say. Has anyone else received a recall?

I know that trailer hitches have been sold for Miatas from the very beginning but have any of you had actual experience with towing with your Miata? I've just about ready to buy a 2006 (tomorrow in fact if everything goes well!) and I've been toying with the idea of putting on a hitch and buying a...

I finally processed the pictures I took at the Zoom Zoom Atlanta of the exposed 2006 frame and engine they had there. http://dommelen.net/miata/other/102305/index.htm As you see, they took great effort to increase stiffness, and the windshield and behind seat hoops are clearly intended to take an...

Can anyone tell me where to obtain a Miata air hose for a 1.6l engine? DonB

I am doing the bigger brake swap from the '96 to the '91 that I drive now. There is a huge improvement after doing the fronts, but part of that is because the original 10 inch rotors were trashed and the system was due for a bleed. Does anyone know off-hand what the size difference is on the...

Hello, everyone. When I was in college (i.e. little driving experience, young, clueless, single, no steady job, etc), the auto insurance was, well, quite expensive. But it got better every year, possibly because 1) I'm getting older, and 2) the car I was driving was also getting older. Now I'm...

Just bought an 06 Miata and the dealer insisted that the etching is non-negotiable ... at a cost to me of $156! Lo and behold, when I took delivery there was NO etching on my car at all. Since all the paperwork was already done, the dealer tried to backpedal and give me 5 certificates for free oil...

My 2002 Miata LS Brookstone Turanza 205/45R16s are nearing time for replacement. I've searched for recommendations and reviewed the recent Car and Driver 11 tire comparison and also looked at some postings from this group. I like the tread wear rating of the Yokohama tires I saw listed but...

I finally took my Konis off the '96M today. They are not as pretty as when I installed them a little less than 50,000 miles ago, but they were working great when the car went down. I am either going to re-use these on a project car or sell them. My question is, what kind of life can I reasonably...
