Blue or Red Haynes by
Diane
Anyone know the difference between red and blue cover 90-97 Haynes manuals?
I do NOT need to know how superior the Enthusiast's manual is.
Thanks. -Phil

Protecting front and rear fenders in the city by
Me
I'm going to have to park on the street in SF with my new Miata. Any
tricks or products for keeping the braile parkers from scratching the
heck out of the paint?
I've thought of a car bra, but I only really want it for parking and I
want to protect both front and rear.

newbie by
Classicred03
Ok. I'm new to Miatas (well, got it in January)
I'm new to the group.
Question:
Does anyone else downshift in tunnels and drive in parking garages in first
gear near the redline every now and then just to hear the exhaust note? or
is it just me?
I always thought I was quite sensible until now.

Ignition or fuel? by
Leon van Dommelen
I have a problem with the engine heavily backfiring in the exhaust
at 5000+ rpm if I put my foot into it, particularly during merging
operations on the Interstate. Maybe my foot is blocking the air
flow and I should take it out of the exhaust?
Anyway, a look below the hood showed a yellow sort of...

Wheel conversion by
Brian Turner
Does anyone know if the 16 x 6.5" alloy wheels from a 2003 Miata will
fit on a 1999 originally fitted with 15 x 6"? I don't see why not as
I don't think there are that many differences in the two cars where
the wheels would be concerned. Does anyone know how I can find out
for sure?

Alloy wheels for winter: "Sport Edition"? by
Grant Edwards
It's time to buy wheels and winter tires. The current plan is
a set of 195/55-15 Michelin PA2's on 6 or 6.5" wheels. I'm
thinking about splurging on some alloy wheels this time around,
but the selection in 6-6.5 is limited.
One of the low-end brands TireRack carries is "Sport Edition".

Damned Squeaks by
Morien Morgan
There sounds to be a mouse convention under the front wing. I presume it's
bushings. What lube will sort it out without damaging rubber?

freeway with the top down! Now that I've experienced them, I wouldn't
want to be...

Freeplay in steering. by
Alf Loizeaux
My '92 Miata has about 3/8" to 1/2" freeplay in the steering wheel at all
positions of rotation (measured with the car at rest).
My service mechanic says that he can find no loose parts and no play in the
steering linkages. He believes that the play is in either the rack and
pinion or in the lower...

OT- advice for shocks for my minivan by
Greg
Hi
I figured there is no better place to ask suspension advice than here.
I have a 2002 Honda Oddysey(sp?) minivan as my OTM. It has about 45K
miles on it, and I just got some new tires, and noticed one of the
rear shocks was leaking a bit of oil, so I assume that the stock
shocks are probably...

FineLiving channel and they were featuring convertibles. They showed a
segment where a young couple drove 3 convertibles: a New Beetle, a PT

for them. ...
