I just bought a '90 Miata from a friend (he ordered it new, took delivery in July '89-it has 142k miles) and there are small cracks in the sheet metal around the latch on the drivers door. What is the correct fix for this? I have tons of questions for the car, which as far as I can tell has the...

Tonight I was watching a show called "life in the fast lane" on the FineLiving channel and they were featuring convertibles. They showed a segment where a young couple drove 3 convertibles: a New Beetle, a PT Cruiser, and a Mazdaspeed. They were trying to decide which one was right for them. ...

Any recommendations for a roll bar for a Mazdaspeed Miata? JJ

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...

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...

I must admit, while shopping for cars, I thought the headrest speakers were the dumbest thing I'd ever seen. THEN I bought a car with them!! they are COOL! I can actually HEAR the stereo while blasting down the freeway with the top down! Now that I've experienced them, I wouldn't want to be...

Has anyone tried this chip in their Miata http://www.davisnet.com/drive/products/drive_product.asp?pnum=8220 For approx. $150 - with software and a PC cable - Essentially it logs all the messages (up to 300 hrs) from the OBD connector under the dash - you can also monitor up to 4 processes......

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? Morien

Well, I changed my turret oil today and in doing so discovered the both the small and large shift boots had tears in them.. Where's the best place to get replacements ? I tried searching various miata sites but keep coming up with the outer (leather) boot. nothing for the inner ones.. Thanks!

Hi hope some one can help with this question. In the U.K. I have just bought a imported damaged Mazda eunos roadster for repair (bumper, slam panel, wing, bonnet and h/light all crumpled) The car is badged as a Mazdaspeed and on the drivers door there is a badge with "tuned by Mazdaspeed factory...

I have a 2002 Miata with the awful Turanza tires that are worthless on slippery roads. I want to replace them with a quiet and safe tire that is useful in snow that is up to a couple of inches deep and yet will work OK during the summer. My Internet review on this subject indicates that the...

Ouch ! It was very painful !

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". I've...

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?

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...
