brake pads by
Martin Jackson
50 years ago, my brother used his Pontiac GTO to test pads in NJ for a
vendor. His recomendation to do one or two hard stops from top speed to
outgas the volitiles has stood me in good stead. After that, the brakes
work much better. It's been 5 years since new pads....Martin

1999 Mazda 626 instrument cluster removal by
fritzmeister
Does anybody know of a website that goes through the specifics of the
instrument cluster removal on a 1999 Mazda 626 ? I've gotta get in there
because 2 of the dashboard illumination bulbs burned out and the very left
side of the windshield heater is clogged.

Timing Belt Pics at 16 years and 128,000 miles by
pws
I tore apart a 1.6 liter engine from a 1990 model with 128,000 miles and
decided to just cut the timing belt off.
The tensioners were going bad, the spring was rusty, and the water pump
was badly gunked up, but this original 16 year old belt looks like it
would have gone a lot longer.
It is very...

91 3 window top by
Wreckless Eric
Hello,
I replaced my the original top on my Miata with a 3 window
Robbins top about 7 years ago (the original had died).
It's time to replace my current top, but I'm having trouble
finding a 3 window top, which I prefer for the lack of blind
spots and the top lies better with my rollbar.
Does...

Q: 60K Service by
solamour
Hello, everyone.
The owner's manual says that I need to replace the timing belt and get
other major services done at 60K miles. What happens if I postpone it
a little, say, 61K miles? Would my car break down in the middle of the
road? I live in California, if that matters at all.

Alfa
Is it somehow possible to fit NBFL brake discs (10.9 in front and 11 in
rear) to 2001 NB Miata (Standard 10 in front and 9.9 in rear) without
changing brake calipers? Is there some kind of adapter for calipers to be
able to fit bigger discs?
Thanks!

Parking Brake by
Brian
My 1996 Miata's parking brake does not work. I relpaced the cable running

problem. Then I tightened the cable at the brake lever. It still does not
work. With the car jacked up by the rear differential, I took the...
