Anyone experience a broken timing belt on a 1988 929 engine?   Son's car
just had this happen and we are wondering what the chances are that things
(pistons valves)  'survived?  I am assuming that this is a destructive
engine.   Car was only going about 15 MPH when this happened.

How long can a rotary engine run on its original seals before they need
replaced/rebuilt?

Can anyone advise how to remedy a light issue on Mazda 6 please?
The lights on the dash illuminating speedo etc used to drop to half power
when side or head lights were activated.
Now they practically disappear completely.

Had this happen on my Nissan, and now on the Mazda. On the 240SX, a friend
said I was driving down the road with my reverse lights on. I found two
switches on the tranny, swapped them and the lights were good. The other
switch was directly opposite the reverse switch, so I figured ...

Well after replacing broken timing belt on 1988 929 I thought I was OK.
Good compression tests, engine runs.  Good power on the road.  I thought
that I was very lucky not to have any damage.
BUT its now idleing at about 2500 to 3000 RPM even when warm.    Any ideas

I have just entered my second childhood.  Some would call it a middle aged
crisis.  Either way I once owned a 79 RX-7 GS and had to sell it when our
first child was on the way.  He is now 25 and I found an 83 GSL in great
shape for 24 years old.  I do need some guidance and ...

between 2000/2500RPM's at cold start for about 4 to 5 minute
gradually lowering to 750RPM's. I have not yet gotten a good solutio
from other forums so I hope this is the place

I am trying to insert a rebuilt left hand side drive axle into the
transmission but its stuck out about 1 1/2 inches and won't go in. Any
suggestions? Its supposed to just click in.

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 ...

I was just in getting an oil change and the dealer told me I needed new
front pads and rotors. (96 Miata with 70k miles on it, street use only)
Now I've had no noise, squealing, fading, pulling, any brake issues at all.
I can understand it being time for pads, but why would the ...

I've been reading an article on cars and their CW values and what it
means for efficiency. The article is in German but I thought the figures
given for the MX-5 may be interesting so here it goes.
Top down: 0.45 cw

Both of my backup lights are out on my '92 Miata with about 45,000 miles
on it.(stored winters in Buffalo,NY area never in snow and rarely in
rain....no rust....clean underneath)
Does anyone know of a most likely area to begin investigating the cause

Anybody have a clue what a used set of 'top hats' (I believe that's the
term) should sell for? I've got a set available and a person interested so,
I'm just wondering. Is there an approximate value (relative to new) like 50%
or 33% of what new would cost that is considered a ...

I own a 2005 NC Limited Edition and I'm looking for some type of
dressing to use on the soft top.
Being the fabric style I'm not sure what I can usre without leaving
white marks and/or damaging the membrane.

Remember awhile back we had a fairly lively discussion about the use / over
use of tasers by police? Well, this month, Patrick Bedard discusses this
issue in his Car and Driver editorial. He even discusses the Austin Texas
video and the one (I believe in Colorado?) where the guy ...

Anyone have any info on which is the best (relatively inexpensive) tire
gauge???  I have both a Victor digital and unknown brand pencil type.  They
agree at 30 lbs and are 4 lbs off at 45.... I'm not sure which one to
believe...It would be nice to find a link to some test results ...

I wish I could buy this 90 Silverstone that's on miata.net. Anybody who's
decided they'd really like a nice example might want to check this out;
