Anyone have experience or knowledge with one of these devices? It cost abt $90 and connect to the data port of your car and helps diagnose any problems.

| Downshifting 101, Part Deuxx (2-1 & heel-and-toe) | 26 Apr 2007 04:07 GMT | 7 |
Hello everyone. For those of you who missed out before, this series is about me learning to downshift (CGGW is my first stick-shift car). Right now where I'm at is, I've gotten to the point where I can do 3-2, 4-3, and 5-4 downshifts with reasonable rev-matching, but they

My 2000 Mazda Protege is smoking blue smoke at start up until it warms up and then it clears up. Has abt 127k on it and I am the 1st owner and have taken great care of this car

| Hat that won't blow off | 26 Apr 2007 01:28 GMT | 16 |
I usually use my Miata just for around town, but even here (it's a big town!) I find myself doing 75 MPH and I'm constantly having to push my hat down as the wind tries to sweep it away. I currently use one of those flat, nearly-brimless knit driving

| 1972 RX2 | 25 Apr 2007 00:23 GMT | 1 |
Next door neighbor just picked up a 1972 RX2. 180k on the first engine. The second engine he's got 20k on. I heard it the other morning... there is no mistaking the sound of that rotary (I had an RX7) and I had to go look. It's in very nice

| Anybody know of a good diagnostic scanner/code reader | 24 Apr 2007 18:24 GMT | 6 |
I am hoping that some of you might have some suggestions about a good diagnostic scanner/code reader for my 2002 LS 6 speed. Not that it matters, but it has everything on her but a rear spoiler and the 6 disc changer. I'm not 100% certain (I'm sure another enthusiast can

| engine stand placement | 24 Apr 2007 01:41 GMT | 2 |
my long awaited short block got home yesterday and looking at the manual, it says to mount the engine on its left side at the ps bracket...that seems a bit odd as I have always seen engines mounted via the back end. does it matter? it seems better to go for the back

| Check engine light - fuel cap replacement FYI | 23 Apr 2007 12:41 GMT | 7 |
The check engine light came on for the second time in my 7-month old MX-5. It was caused by a fuel filler cap that didn't seal tightly - even after "click-click-click-click" tightening. Filler cap replaced under warranty by the local dealer. The service

| NYT says Miata "gay by design"? | 23 Apr 2007 04:14 GMT | 22 |
Folks; See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/12/fashion/12cars.html?_r=1&oref=slogin for the whole story, but the gist of it is that some cars are seen as "gay" and the Miata is one of them. Other gay cars are the Volkswagen

| Roll Bars? | 21 Apr 2007 16:14 GMT | 19 |
Is a roll bar really needed ? Which make is actually protective, and won't interfere with my 1996 soft top with glass window? Aren't most of the roll bars available just decorative & don't really protect the driver in the event of a roll over? Aren't roll overs extremely rare in

| Almost dead in my 2000.. | 20 Apr 2007 19:06 GMT | 14 |
Last Friday I got onto the Garden State Parkway (in Northern NJ) to begin my drive back down to Tampa. As I pulled away from the toll booth and accelerated to about 60, the car to my left veered into my lane. The only thing that

Greetings and Felicitations! Due to the death of my wife's beater, we are now happy owners of an '03 Shinsen (#711). We got it at wholesale price (local to central Indiana). I've been doing a little research and reading about the various things that

| Lime Creek - cold but fast this weekend! | 19 Apr 2007 05:20 GMT | 1 |
I was up in Austin again this weekend. It was too cold on Saturday to drop the top but that didn't keep me, the dog, and my Miata off Lime Creek. Great drive! Only encountered two other cars on the way out and only one other (and it was a Miata, too!) on the way back. While I

We now own a Miata with power windows. Are they naturally slow in comparison to other cars? This Miata is a 95... Tom
