Thanks for the feedback on the "What Now?" thread. The garage is ready. Found a 97 M edition with 55k miles, "excellent condition". Meeting with owner today, hopefully. Any thoughts on what I might want to look for, ask about, etc. would be enormously appreciated.

After a little research and some good advice from this group, I ended up buying the Goodyear Eagle F1 195/60x15 tires mounted on Kasei K1 Racing 15x7 Rims for my 90 Miata. I am still in the break in period of 500 miles, then it will be fun time in the streets. Now I need help with shocks and...

I've got a 93, the air bag light blinks 10 times, which apparently means "Faulty diagnostic module (System-down fuse burned)". This happened after the battery died, so I imagine it could indeed be related to a fuse. Question is - where is this fuse located? Is it discrete, or part of the air bag...

Well, I finally got the recall notice for airbag. Horn can come off in extremely cold conditions, possibly injuring drivers that are not prepared for having horns blasted in their faces with explosive force. They sure took their time about it, too. The worst cold is over already here. I could...

Some time ago I asked if anyone knew how to tighten up a loose rear view mirror. It that sagged at the ball joint between the mirror itself and the mounting stalk every time I hit even a small bump. I looked, but could find no way to tighten it. So, still under warranty, I went to the dealer for...

having some trouble with my clutch on a 1990 Miata. Replaced the slave cylinder and have bleed the system multiple times. Sometimes the pedal is on the way to the floor and the clutch does not disengage all the way. There is not much play at the end part. Am going to try ans adjust the pedal. ...

I saw this starter button kit on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8064703890&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT I've read several write up on how to add such a button, but this solution seems really simple, if it indeed works and installs as they say. Has anyone...

My husband thinks I left the house this a.m. to get a few groceries. Test drove a new Miata instead. Almost came home with a receipt for $27,000 worth of orange juice - without the orange juice.

I am looking to replace my shocks on a '95 with 110k. I am going with the basic KYB GR-2 shock and was wondering if replacing the shock mounts and boots is also necessary. Surprisingly the mounts are more expensive than the shocks. KYB mounts from tirerack are $50 each and oem...

Dropped my 2005 MazdaSpeed MX-5 Turbo off for its first free oil change yesterday. Spent about an hour setting in the new ones in the showroom while waiting. Hope I don't offend any new owners, but I don't like them. I'll admit they are very highly rated by the auto press and probably would...

I'm gonna be buying a new clutch really soon. I'm looking at either the OEM or the "slightly stronger than OEM" option from Flyin Miata. There's only about $10 difference, but I haven't seen any reviews of the FM...

Anyone have experience with different horns then those delivered with the car? Not sure they are easily heard if there is a problem. Thanks!

My 1990 "A" doesn't have headset speakers or boxes, just a cut out in the foam. Do I need to find the boxes? Any other ways to deal with this?

I am finally getting some of the more interesting miata items listed. These are mainly for the first generation model, but I am also selling an alloy wheel with tire from a 2000 model. The 1996 torsen differential and the stub shafts/hubs for it are up as well as a few other...

Just looked at a 1990 white Miata, 49K original miles, 2nd owner. 60K service has been done. New Panasport rims and Kuhmo tires (16"). Hella lamps, shock tower brace, front and rear underbody suspension stiffeners. New battery (the right kind). White guage faces with blue/green adjustable...

I have always thought that the NB 3 spoke is one of the finest OEM wheels ever put in any production car so you can imagine my disappointment when the NB I ended up buying was one of only a couple I've ever seen w/o that fine wheel. I believe 99 was the only year that the base model NB could be...

Has anyone had any experience with this company and it's products? I know there are a lot of these types of bars in the market, and I'd like to buy a well-made, well-fitting one. The plus with this company is that it is based outside of Milwaukee, and not too far from where I live (so I wouldn't...

I am having sporadic problems with the ignition switch on my 1990 Miata (wiper, A/C blower won't work unless I jiggle the key in the ignition). Has anyone replaced the ignition switch and if so, how hard is it? Thanks, Brian
