Last evening, I brought home a 2006 Miata Sport, six-speed manual, Nordic
Green, with the suspension package.
I realize it's not going to be as quick as a white one, but now that the NC
State Highway Patrol has brought BMW motorcycles up here to the area for

Been out of the loop for awhile (computer problems) came back tonight and
thought I was connected to the Automotive History Channel Newsgroup!
Nice stuff guys, hand cranks, 2CV's, MG's, and on and on. Cool stuff!
My hand crank experience is limited to 4cyl propane engines on ...

Just bought a beautiful 2002 LE with 21k miles. I'm wondering if there
is one comprehensive source of information on the differences between
the various models in each model year.  Just want to build up my
overall knowledge of Miata's!

In the last two weeks my 95 Miata (153K miles) becomes extremely
difficult to get in gear.  Reverse being so impossible that I generally
will just push it myself so I don't have to "deal with it".  Once it
gets warmed up it gets easier but R is still hard.  There is very

I have an exceptionally nice 1994 Miata for sale.  Take a look at

Since we were discussing the weight of the power window motors, I
decided to go ahead and weigh one since I am gutting a few doors to
auction the parts.
It comes out to a little under two pounds for the motor alone.

cannot find old transmission filter to replace. New filter came with pan
gasket, but upon removal of pan the filter is nowhere to be found.

My '90 (short nose crank) miata suddenly developed a low stumbling idle
(200 to 500 rpms) with intermittant surges to 1,500 rpms and then back to
stumbling.  It runs smoothly at anything above 1,500 rpms and pulls hard
to redline through the gears.  

My muffler has blown out.  It was from a cat back job done by Midas by the
previous owner three years ago.  It sounds like a tough little car now but I
want to replace it with something close to stock.  Any recommendations on
what to get?  I see ANSA mufflers on Ebay for cheap ...

I am changing out the rubber brake lines with stainless steel on my '90
Miata and need to bleed the entire brake system.  Trying to decide if I
should go with a synthetic brake fluid like Valvoline or a regular DOT
3/4 like Castrol GT/LMA.  All input is appreciated.

I went from a motorcycle to a TurboMiata for safety, but the bigger
vehicles still bully me!!
If you want to get even, drive around with the "HID-HIGH LIGHTS ON"!
3XEquivalent=12x55watt bulbs!  =  4x35=140watt use!

I've seen a few reviews but wonder about how good the head lights are and
history of the miata's drop top (leaks, cracks forming). Never owned a
convertible before. I wonder how hard it is to drop/raise the top? I'm in

I also have a hood strut for the Flying Miata Strut Tower Brace and a
1996 power steering pump up right now.
I am getting ready to list some more miata items, including two power
