Hi all.  I'm new to the world of Miatas -- I just picked up a '91 with
97k miles on it.  It came cheap from an insurance auction, but was
surprisingly nice in and out.  All that was required was replacement
of the rear bumper, one new headlight motor, and some minor body

I tried looking in the archives for precise information. I'm unsure if
I should add to an old discussion or start a new one: this is one of
the few times I've participated in a group discussion. (Please let me
know if I have it wrong.)

I had a brake light bulb burn out in my 2001 Miata.  I have been trying to remove the tail light assembly without success.  I removed the trunk inside trim and unbolted the two 10mm nuts and screw at the top of the assembly and the rubber wire gasket.  The assembly is loose but ...

I am the proud owner of a white, very cherry 1990 MIata with 49,000
miles.  It's a 5-speed.  I was reading the manual last night, and it
recommends changing the tranny and rear axle fluid at 6 yrs/ 60K.  I am
not sure whether this has ever been done or not (the records I have

Last night on the way home from work.  Had to be towed to dealer.  A little
over $400 parts and labor.  Leaked at the top, he said.  Is this unusual?
First time my '96 left me stranded.  Of course, it's never been 10 years old
before, either.

Okay, some of you may remember about a month ago I wrote about a hard,
almost violent, shake that was occurring in my '99 Miata from around 59
mph on up through 75 and even higher it many cases.  Had new tires,
freshly balanced, and just had alignment done.  Most suggested it could

I am taking the half-shafts off of my torsen differential and want to be
certain that I am doing it correctly. Here is a picture of the assembly,
it looks like I need to take the clips off, and I don't see a way to do
that without damaging them, so I am assuming that you replace ...

I'm looking for am early model (1990-1995) Miata as a 3rd/summer car.
I'd appreciate any advice on years to avoid, years to look for, things
to look for as I'm looking at and test driving the car, etc.  What are
the commonly replaced items that I should find out whether they've been

So, just picked up a 1999 Miata. Run great and is in very nice shape,
except the radio sounds like total crap.
Radio stations which should be crystal clear (for example, NPR station
being broadcast 5 miles away) are garbled (though scanner picks them out

I realize that many Miata owners simply remove their sun visors because they
are next to useless. However, for those of us that prefer to leave a little
forehead padding for their next collision, is there a a good way to
eliminate the warning stickers?? It looks like they would ...

Finally picked up my new MX5 2006...unfortunatly it has beed raing and
cold ever since I picked it up!  Anyway, I noticed my beach chairs do
not fit in the trunk...any one know of a good removable rack to use on
the car?  I noticed a few on the web but i would appreciate knowing if

I recently bought a 2000 Miata, 5-speed.
Whoever cleaned the car out REALLY cleaned it out, so much so that I didn't
get an owners manual.
Can anybody tell me HOW MUCH of WHAT WEIGHT fluid is the full level of the

I've got a '95 red Miata and the plastic nose/bumper has been faded/oxidized for some time now, and the car's performance seems to have slowed down the more it faded. Now it seems my Red Miata is being out-performed by the normally slower White Miatas. Bottom line...not good for ...

I have a '97 Miata, with 93K miles on it.
About 2 months ago, I started getting "random misfire" codes on the
check engine light.  Been there before, so I replaced the plugs and wires.
2 days later, the code came back.  I took it to the local mechanic,
