I don't have anything from this group in over a month. Is it dead, or is my
provider not cooperating?

How to check if I have Torsen LSD by
G. Mack
I have a 96 Miata. I've read on the web that this year's model comes
with either an open or Torsen differential.
With my car on stands, when I spin the one rear wheel, the other wheel
will spin in the opposite direction. When I hold one of the wheels
tight, my son was not able to spin the wheel...

Radiator blew out by
Frank Berger
Last night on the way home from work. Had to be towed to dealer. A little
over $400 parts and labor. Leaked at the top, he said. Is this unusual?
First time my '96 left me stranded. Of course, it's never been 10 years old
before, either.

Clutch Chirp by
Prometheus7
Hi,
I have a 2002 Miata, 35,000 miles. There's a constant chirp when my clutch
is all the way let out (my foot off it). If I push in just barely, not
enough to really disengage anything, it stops. The chirp occurs whether I'm
in or out gear. I can hear it when I pass by a building and hear the...

Pull to side when braking??? by
Prometheus7
Hi,
I've got a 2002 Miata that can have a quick pull to the right or left when
I'm coming up to a traffic light or other stop. I doesn't happen all the
time, but at times it seems if I were to let go of the wheel, it would
completely turn the wheel direction. Has anyone ever experienced this...

and are shot. i tried...

The dreaded oil/tire thread! by
XS11E[_3_]
Which oil is best? Should I use Super Sewer Sludge 90w-250 Synthetic?
Never mind, I don't have the heart to start an oil thread....
So what do people think of Kumho tires, specifically the AST?
I'm still debating new tires because it upsets my natural cheapness.
My existing tires have almost...

Indy 500? by
XS11E[_1_]
For the 91st time the Indianapolis 500 is being run w/o one single
Miata being entered! Obviously the promoters of the race are being
very unfair, next year I think I'll put a cold air intake and racing
tires on my 1992 and enter.
Meanwhile, I'm rooting for Danica Patrick, she's a local girl...

I'm a new '05 MazdaSpeed owner who last drove a 4-speed Corvette 40
years ago. Other than missing a gear now and then, I'm adapting to the
6-speed well enough. Although I still tend to shift 1-2-5-6 ocassionly.
My question is, should I be feeling the gears meshing as much as I do?

Where to mount alarm main box? by
Steven Spits
Hi group,
I have an alarm lying around that's waiting to secure my Miata from the scum
of this world (actually, I don't care about the alarm itself, but it would
be nice to have central door locking again).
I wonder what would be the best place to mount the main box?
The previous one (went...
