First tiny 1.5mm crack in 1992 soft top by
Mike
Hello everyone,
My Buffalo, NY '92 Miata with 41,000 miles on it just developed a tiny
crack approx 1.5mm long near a place where the top folds when it is
moved up or down (middle right side.)

Splash-pan question... by
Peer Landa
Recently I installed some Jackson Racing sway-bars, but never put the
splash-pan back on -- I was thinking that the car would maybe run cooler
without it. Is there any reason to have a splash-pan here in California,
perhaps other than for aerodynamics..?

Space Behind Temporary Tire in Trunk by
Christopher Muto
I removed my temporary spare from the trunk the other day and found a pretty
large void behind it. Can this space somehow be used to store the jack?
Are there other creative uses that people have come up with to take
advantage of that space?
Thanks.

Toyo T1-R by
Barry
I need tires and was planning to get the Toyo T1-S, but my local shop said
that they are no longer available and have been replaced by the T1-R. Does
anyone out there have any experience with these? In particular, is the ride
as good as the T1-S?

KWS
I have to admit that this is not about the Miata, but this is one of the
better newsgroups for information. So I hope nobody minds that I ask.

Robbins top questions by
Lisa
First, honestly, how long has it taken anyone else to put one of these
things on?!
Now, there are those two straps inside the car's top from the B & C down to
the back of the top. They're not really supposed to interefere with the
velcro part of the headliner part, are they?
And how in the hell...

want to drive my Miata NYC->SF? by
[email protected]
I am wondering if it can be/have been done. Would anyone be interested
to drive my 1997 Miata across the country from NYC to SF some time in
September? The car has a luggage rack and a hitch bike rack. I would
throw in $250 for gas and a Jet Blue ticket back. It's not working out
time-wise for me...

Paul Proefrock
My a/c vents on my 2000 Miata have a severe case of the droops. All the
articles on removal and repair apply to the earlier M1 (90-98) Miatas
Is there an article anywhere on removing the vents and repairing on the M2?

2005 Miata MAZDASPEED by
[email protected]
Hi!
Owners of MAZDASPEEDs,
From your experience, what is your general opinion about the car? When
I test drove the car it seemed to have a sudden surge in power when the
turbo kicked in. It wasn't very smooth. Do all the "mazdaspeeds" do this?
Cheers,
'99 Silver Miata

Strange tire problem by

My Mazda 1997 LX626 has its original tires:
Firestone P195/65R14 88S
The spare isn't full size. The car is little used - it has less than
16,000 miles on it. I keep plastic valve stem caps screwed onto my valve
stems.
I took a trip around 3 years ago, about 700 miles round trip, and an odd
