tomorrow i'm heading over to a place that advertises themselves as
specializing in corvette & miata salvage. they have one used
aftermarket front sway bar that has to come off the car it came in
with. they're not sure which brand it is.

My cam postion sensor just died on my 94 (~185k mi).  My mechanic (Howard
at the Sports Car Center for the STL locals) said this is the first he's
ever replaced on a Miata (and he works on lots of Miatas).  He called me
later in the day after I got the car down there (1st tow in ...

My 16-year old MX-5 needed its MOT a month ago (MOT being the UK test every
car has to undergo every year to ensure it's safe). Due to a move it's been
sitting in front of my house for that entire month looking glum. I finally
got it tested yesterday and it passed, first time, ...

Always hard to come up with a price on a modified car, especially one
with high miles, 153,000 in this case, though almost all of the mods
were done after 110,000 miles, and the car was driven gently before that.
The blue book value has dropped so low that I am pretty sure I would ...

I recently bought a '99 Miata and would like to change my own oil &
filter.  Are there any gotcha's I should know about?  Also, are 3rd
party oil & air filters (like Fram or Purolator) okay to use?  Thanks in
advance.

I'm less that thrilled with my new top, yesterday I found the rear
window was coming unglued, the same problem that "mdginzo" posted Aug.
8th.  Mine lasted from 9/6/07 to 9/10/07 or maybe not, I noticed it
last night but it could have begun separating sooner than that?

This is my first post onto this newsgroup, since I have only had my mx-5 nb1
1.8 for two weeks now :)
I think there is no need to coment all the good things about the car, so I
will go straight to the point:

Two things to take noet of at Mike's: Do they still use that outdated swamp cooler still? I'd steer clear of any garage that uses the word 'Mecca' as part of their slogan!

I have a 92 Miata with almost 90k miles.  The engine stalls sometimes
when I engage the clutch and put the shifter into 1st gear.  If I
leave the shifter in neutral then no problem.  Sometimes the engine
doesn't stall but rpms drop very low but when I take the shifter out

I can manually retract it by turning the little knob thing behind the
light under the hood.  It comes up every time I turn on the lights or
hit the button on the inside but when I turn the lights off or hit
that inside button again, only the passenger lights goes back down by

(This is not about a miata, but I included that NG because the general
Mazda NG looks about DOA.)
One of my cars is a '90 Protege...great sturdy little machine and with
over 182K miles, it runs great and is so clean under hood you could

I have a 96 Miata.  I've read on the web that this year's model comes
with either an open or Torsen differential.
With my car on stands, when I spin the one rear wheel, the other wheel
will spin in the opposite direction.  When I hold one of the wheels

My 2000 Mazda Protege ES is starting to puff some blue
smoke in the mornings when its chilly out.
I start it, it puffs blue smoke, and then after warming
up it quits.

I will be having the t-belt replaced on a 4-cyl '93 soon (B6 engine
type), and the local garage has given me an estimate based on OEM belt
AND two other bearings (?).
I know the tensioner bearing (?) should be replaced at the same time,

As a member of the technical committee of the dutch MX-5 Club I plan to
experiment with LED lights: brakelights, drl and signalling lights. Before
taking the first step, I'd like to ask you guys your experience with LED
bulb replacements. Any thoughts, good products or ...
