Transmission/clutch/ shifting questions by
tumbleweed
I'm a new Miata (2001 LS)owner with some questions. I hear a "chirp" that
seems to be a clutch or transmission issue at about 4000rpm or over.
vehicle hesitates ever so slightly at the same time as the "chirp". Does
anyone else experience this?
Shifting the 6-speed transmission seems a little...

JR Sway Bar - Racing Beat Brace Contact by

I have the JR sway bars and the Racing Beat sway bar brace listed. The
auction pictures show the contact points for anyone who is interested in
seeing them, (Leon?).
Plus, it is a blatant promotion of my other Ebay auctions, which
includes a few other newly-listed Miata items.
I also have some...

Miata's Effeminate? by
Turtoni
I used to own a Miata and traded it in a year or so ago for a more practical
new vehicle but it was an awesome fun car. I was wondering if anybody else
had experienced other guys thinking that a Miata is an effeminate car? I
guess the size makes it seem girlish to them, like a motor bike would?...

I have a Mazda Miata 1995 that is missing a set of screws that goes on

90 miata engine change, now cranks but wont fire, help! by
90miataca
Just today the long process of changing over the engine on my 90 miata
was completed. The crankshaft on the original engine was the short
crank and the keyway had already been filled so rather then replacing
the crank on the engine (which had a little over 200Ks already) I
purchased a second hand...

Turning of the engine at traffic lights by
[email protected]
I recently read that many Europeans shutdown their engines at traffic
lights to save gas. Am I missing something?
If I do the math right my Miata gets 30 mpg on the highway cruising at
say 70 mph at about 3000 rpm. So I'm using 2.3 gph or .04 gpm. If I
idle at 1000 rpm say I use 1/3 as much gas...

Toys for the rich (NMC) by
pws
I saw this posted to a local list. How much do you think one of these
model jets would cost you?
I would probably get about 10 minutes of playtime out of it before I
nose-dived it into the ground.
Looks like a fun toy; real jet engines, 280 mph, made from carbon fiber
and kevlar, etc. Pretty cool...

Drove a new MX5 today and... by
XS11E
....absolutely detested the car! The very last thing I expected is the
car would hurt, the seat put a pain in my back that still hasn't gone
away, the throttle position caused enough pain in my ankle to where I
had to use the cruise control and the left hand cup holder, the one
built into the door...

NB sway bars by
Chris D'Agnolo
On my 92, upgraded swaybars were the best money I ever spent (legally). Is
the same true on the NB? Anyone know stock bar thickness (front and back)
off the top of their head. The PO may have upgraded them already, not sure.
TIA,
Chris

Aftermarket sway bar question by
pws
When you buy aftermarket sway bars such as the Jackson Racing or Flying
Miata sets, do they come with their own bolts for the front sway bar or
do you use the original bolts?
Thanks!

Prospective 99 Miata owner by

I have some questions that remain unanswered and was hoping someone
could help me. For one, I could not find anywhere an FAQ with
information on what to look for when buying a used M2. Is there one
somewhere? Secondly, a stranger question. I don't golf but I do both

Thinking about a hardtop. by
Dave Smith
I'm thinking about getting a hardtop for my '97 and I'm interested in
hearing from those who have them.
How's the interior noise at speed compared to with a softtop?
How much hassle removing/replacing it?
Are they fragile? Heavy?
Any change in the car's handling due to aerodynamics, rigidity,...

95 Merlot FS cheap by
Chris D'Agnolo
Just a heads up, there's a guy in CA on miata.net selling a high mileage 95

fast, he wants to get rid of it for $850!
If someone hasn't already bought it I'd just about s _ _ t my pants.
Good luck,
Chris

Ever done this in a miata? by
pws
First time ever, after leaving the dentist, (which is my excuse), I
opened the door of my red miata and thought "whoa, where's my Momo
steering wheel and boost gauge"?
It turns out my miata was parked 2 spaces down.
I have done this plenty of times in more generic cars, even mistaking
Camrys for...

Automatic transmissions by

I am interested in purchasing a nice 93 Miata with an AUTOMATIC
transmission with 75,000 miles on it. It is for my wife and she does
NOT drive a stick and won't learn. My question is, other than the
obvious power loss, how reliable are these automatics? Do they have
any inherent problems that I...

My son recently overheated his car and warped the head. I had a local
