I got a 2002 NB which I bought in 2007. It developed an intermittent judder soon after I got it. As I didn't drive it much (done 30K since owning it) I kinda ignored it until this week when I took it into the shop to get a new Clutch kit fitted. I remember reading a SB on the Miata net about faulty ...

Been watching this Brownie, any idea when you might have them for sale

Try Ross at www.mx5mart.co.nz , when I last looked they were around $200
with wiring and switch (plug and play the original wiring)

Yeah, you got the juces runnin. I miss the little black button on my old Jags

Had a SENIOR moment, Brent you reminded me, having had a look at you kink it brought it all back to me and I do remember doing this fix and it did work - well they seem to lock ok now and I do remember there being a gap reasonably big enough to prevent any assemblence of locking. Cheers Simon [Poste...

Thanks for that poison. I wondered what the cause was and compared my old na latching to try and find out why and thought that my nb units were just worn out????? on a car that had only just traveled 35000km???? and was going to try and get some new units sometime when I got around to it, but I'll j...

Nothing new, I seem to remember putting something similar on my okd mk1 Zepher way back in the 70s, not the sme but the principle was. Very handy and turned the bleeding of the brakes into a one man operation.They were one of those tools that you could leave permanently installed and of course I did...

There is a service bulletin/recall on the miata net here http://www.miata.net/garage/tsb/index.html and look at EXTERIOR LIGHTING:FOG LIGHTS which is a recall for your model, it may give you an idea of how to get at the bulbs and the its just matter of getting the correct bulb and fitting it. Cheers...

Where is this 'Lemon check'? Could be useful. Lemon check can be found through the NZ AA web sight www.aa.co.nz and can be used to find out the history of a vehicle, similar to carfax www.carfax.co.nz . Both will charge you for a detailed report :( however I think carfax is a little cheaper and als...

I've been watching NAs on Trademe and it looks like there are options for nice NA's in my 4500 to perhaps 6000 price range Hi there, Just got onto you thread re wanting a 5. I do have a 1990 red example now surplus to requirements as I have now got a 2002 NB facelift model. It would be in your pric...

Skams, As for your 'Overtyred' post I'm afraid you lost me when you stated "There is no more grip to be had with a wider tyre, it'll just hang on longer". That's one and the same isn't it? What I was saying about there is no more grip to be had is essentially right, the point of total loss of tract...

Hi Again, I usually run the tyres at the factory recommended pressures (26psi) but I have noticed that when traveling in the wet on a smooth surface at highway speeds that the tracks left behind appear rather dryer at the edges of the tyre track and obviously, significantly wetter in the middle of t...

Hi there, I purchased My Mk 2.5 (02) Last year and it came with 205x45x16 Yokohama DNA S drives already fitted which seemed to perform really well and at about Xmass I bought a spare set of 16" wheels second hand (because my originals have been curb damaged) and they came fitted with well worn but w...

Hey Grant, this is Great. :!: I was always told that once you let the smoke out of something electrical, you could never put it back and the item was efectively carput. Now I won't ever have to worry about letting the smoke out of the box ever again :lol: . Cheers for that, Simon ----- Original Mess...

Anyone know about Aguillas Alarms. I have one fitted to one of my vehicles but unfortunately no instructions on how to use it or what features it has. the features that I do know of are: 1. It talks (warns) to you (in Japanese of course) should you bump the car or open a door then sounds the alarm. ...

Hi all anyone happen to know the difference between the various types of band-expanders, and which might be the best quality type to get? ta! I gotta agree with Grant, however if you feel that you have to fit one, two things to remember - cheap aint always best (you knew that anyway) and its anothe...

As the owner of a "high gloss" black top, I have to say that the yellow top should stay either in the garage, or on the yellow car. It looks bad enough on the blue one, but on the red.......yech !! I can think of several expressions to describe it, but better not.....moderators and all that :roll: ...

On more than one occasion now my friend from in town has called in to leave his hard top here (needed assistance to take it off) on his way to environs affar :oops: . Whilst here I have taken the opportunity to take some candid photos (take a look at my garage profile). Now we could all add some con...

Hi There cfever I have not long aquired a 2002 5 :D with 16" wheels which have unfotunately been curbed :( and detracts from its near mint condition. Depending on price I could be interested even with the slight curbing as it would give me the opportunity to get mine fixed (or yours) and not have to...
