Midwinter drive by Me[_12_]
Went for a midwinter drive today in the old '98 NB 6spd. Hood down, one of those calm winter days where the sun shines, probably only 5-10 deg C. Beanie on, heater on, stereo on full. I must have been going a little bit too slow - my wife didn't complain once... About 350km round trip, through...

Got Smoke by KWS
My '90 developed a problem today that occurred once before (approx 3 months ago) but "fixed itself" before I could troubleshoot it. The symptoms are huge amounts of white smoke blowing out the tailpipe and very rough running. Smells like raw gas. The gas gage moved considerably as I was trying...

NYT says Miata "gay by design"? by my_two_cent
Folks; See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/12/fashion/12cars.html?_r=1&oref=slogin for the whole story, but the gist of it is that some cars are seen as "gay" and the Miata is one of them. Other gay cars are the Volkswagen Beetle, Mini Cooper, and Subaru Outback. Does it make sense to you to say...

Where should worn tires go, fornt or back? by ~Mike Hollywood
Hi, Somewhere along the line somebody told me to always put the best tires on the back because in case of a blow out, you have some control of the frount through the steering, but on the back you have none. So that's what I alwasy did. Today, at a tire store, in conversation, the salesman told...

Time for New Tires on the NC. Ideas? by John McGaw
Well, the second set of Michelins on the '06 Sport has come to the end of its useful life at less than 28K miles. Obviously pretty bad tread life. It seems providential that the government wants to give me $600 so that I will feel stimulated. A free new set of tires would be stimulating enough...

A few NA car parts - taking offers by pws[_1_]
The engine/turbo/computer from the running Miata will probably be sold as one unit, though I may part the power-train out as well. I have removed many of the parts from the Silverstone with 128,000 miles, the parts from the red car will take longer, possibly the beginning of October. Located...

clutch / transmission question by Chris D'Agnolo[_2_]
I've copied and pasted my email question that I just sent to the Mazda dealer in Tucson but I'd love input from those of you (most here) who have a better understanding of the clutch and tranny than I do. One thing I didn't mention in the letter (because I didn't want to hand them an 'easy...

Clutch questions by [email protected]
In the last two weeks my 95 Miata (153K miles) becomes extremely difficult to get in gear. Reverse being so impossible that I generally will just push it myself so I don't have to "deal with it". Once it gets warmed up it gets easier but R is still hard. There is very little resistance in the...

2006 MX-5 by laocmo
I've read reviews of the 2006 Miata, woops MX-5 that talk, maybe exaggerated, of it being new from the ground up, nuts and bolts included. My question is, has anyone read the reasons behind such a drastic redesign? Why would the designers mess with a great car with a reliability record that is so...

Premium Fuel? by [email protected]
Is it possible to run Miata's on regular fuel with no negative consequences? I'm in the market for a used Miata, but am concerned about having to pay premium gas prices. Thanks. fritzel67

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...

Wheel weight? by Christopher Muto
I am looking for a new set of wheels and tires for my '95 and can't find any OEM one locally for a reasonable price. I don't really care if they are 14" or 15" and am planning on putting Falken Ziex's on them or perhaps Bridgestone Traction TA's... Meaning that I am not looking to the ultimate in...

2006 MX-5 price gouging by DJA
Sorry if this has been asked before... I remember the original "Additional Dealer Markup" issues with the 1st gen Miata. Since the '06 will be an all new car, does anyone expect a repeat of this practice? Do current buyers still pay a premium, or at least something close to MSRP? I guess demand...

Intermittent engine stalling, v 2 by Leon van Dommelen
I have been having intermittent stalling of the engine for a long time now. At fairly random times the engine completely cuts out for a brief moment after which it picks up again normally. This is typically immediately followed by one or two similar stumbles, and then problemless driving. It...

New owner - misfire by miker
Hi all, Just bought a '96 with 45M on it. Fun car! (And that's at 10 degrees... can't wait for summer. :) After about 20 min of driving I get a misfire on accelleration... the car idles fine, runs a steady speed fine, but when I push on the gas (moderately) it "stutters" for a bit, mostly in the...
