As many of you might know Mazda used many different suppliers for their
Miata-parts. One of those parts is the original 14"x5,5" 7-spoke alloy found
on 89-93 Miatas (http://www.miata.net/faq/images/91alloy.jpg), as the
technical committee found out last weekend. One of the ...

Window (monitor?) shopping and came across what I consider to be a great
deal on an 04 north of Houston (Conroe, TX). Only six thousand miles for
$15.6k. It's Titanium (the only acceptable 04 MSM color ;-) with cloth
interior. Check it out on autotrader.com if interested. I wish ...

My 99 now has ~81k and the CEL came on the other day. I checked the code and
it indicates the #2 O2 sensor (down stream from the cat) is not sending a
signal. I scooted under the car and fiddled around with it a bit. I saw
where it into the interior of the car through the floor ...

My 99 has always been garaged, until lately.  I live in San Diego
where it hardly rains and have never noticed moisture inside my
headlight lens, until now.  The car has been parked in the driveway
for several months, we've had some rain and now water has condensed

Well folks after reporting this clown to Google Grps. Abuse, I notice
that they are no longer showing any new ones on Google grps, somehow

We have a Mazda Xedos 2l V6. Yesterday as I was driving the temperature
gauge shot up to the red. I pulled over asap and when I stopped it went
back down. Put 1 litre of water in (in the dark )and all seemed well.
Carried on and a bit later the heater blew cold for a couple of miles ...

If you have seen "The Jerk", the part where Steve Martin gets his phone
book while working/living at the gas station was about my reaction when

The price isn't too bad and might be negotiable.

Well, Pat (PWS) has mentioned a couple of times that only a small handful of
folks hang out on this group these days. While I'm not usually inclined to
try to prove him wrong, on this particular issue, I would love to. Would
everyone who see's this message, please reply with CITY ...

How do I run the power wire for my amp through that grommet in the
firewall, it's sooooo frickin tight

My winter vehcile has given up the ghost and I am considering driving
my 2000 Miata in the winter now.   I would obviously put snow tires on
it but can anyone comment on how it handles in the snow and ice?
Would be much appreciated.

Just ordered replacement pads for my 2004 miata thinking I'd be getting the
NS pads. When I checked the part # - N0Y9-33-23Z on my invoice, it appears
to be for HD or sport suspension front pads. I was told by the dealership
that they use the car's Vin # JM1NB353840400298 to ...

I have a 2004 base model with standard brakes.  Is there a piston
retractor screw on the front calipers, or do I just press the piston
back into the caliper?

Hooked up the charger/maintainer that I got from J.C. Whitney today, a
Vector VEC080 "Smart Battery Charger". And since a poster in this grp.
alerted me that the cigarette lighter connector would not work, cause
