I have about 78K on a '90 and have never done the timing belt. Shame on me,
but the car runs great. Can I get another 10K and delay doing it or am I
flirting with disaster? If I gamble by waiting a while longer am I going to
ruin the engine if it finally goes on me? Also, has anyone ...

 Does any one know where I can Purchase a Cat Converter for a 1998 Protege
ES 1.8L A/T
 Thanks

I posted this at miata.net but thought you guys might be interested too.
Somebody on here asked if there were any drives that weren't all twisty
roads.  Here's one with ups and downs instead :-)
"I found a neat little road that goes up and down instead of side to side.

Sorry if this is out of place, I could not find another Mazda group.
I need to change the timing belt on my 99 626 4 cyl (80,000 miles).
I am pretty decent at working on cars, I can do brake work (disks and
drums) I always change my own oil, I have attempted a timing belt

The wipers on my '91 Miata are pretty slow, even on the fastest
setting.  Has anyone ever seen this?
I searched and saw something on a VW list about cleaning and greasing
the linkage.

My air bag indicator is blinking 6 times, indicating a faulty air bag module.
Does anyone have experience replacing this module?
Thanks!

I've lost one of the hubcaps on my '91 Miata seven spoke wheels.
These are the style with Mazda written on them.  Does anyone have one
that they want to sell?

Hi gang: I just got back from a 980 mile trip from southern Illinois to
Branson, Mo, and Rt 7 in Arkansas.  I found out about Rt 7 from
www.miatadrives.com a really cool site!  Coming back home, we took back
roads south of Springfield, Mo towards Sikeston.  I let my wife drive some

The subject line says it all. I'm not sure what yrs they used the same
player (99-up) but my (actually my g/f's) CD player just stopped
working.
We can go aftermarket no problem but she is happy with the factory unit.

I have a 2000 Mazda Protege ES.
No window tinting at all.
Has anyone had experience having this done via after
market?   Good?  Bad?

Any advice would be appreciated - have a '94 Miata, automatic transmission.
The car won't start - we've put on new cables and battery, but the only
thing that works are the headlights.
The dashboard lights don't come on when we turn the key and not a sound from

Just curious when they switched over to R-134 ..??

Just curious what year they began using the new refrigerant ?
Also, what year did they have airbags (or did they always ?)
thanks!

I have an 03 with a 6 speed.  Like others, I've had problems with the gears
grinding when shifting, particularly into 2nd and 3rd gears.  I tried Red
Line gear oil and it was worse, so I went back to regular gear lube.  Over
several months, it got to be so annoying that I finally ...

  I just bought a used  00 Miata Special Edition. Coming home on the freeway I
was running 70mph@3500rpm. Seems hi to me. I thought the 6th gear would be like
an overdrive.
  Also, on a rough section the car seemed to shake a little bit. Would the
