I am so stupid I cannot get the lamp out of the socket on my 1998 Miata. It does not seem to twist out and there appears to be no retaining ring. There are clips but you cannot get to the one on the fender side. I have had some bad experience breaking these clips off in the past. Can someone give...

I'm looking for a good 1/2" torque wrench and so far I have only some really cheap rubbish ones and some really expensive ones (like a Bahco costing like 300+ US!). I wonder if it will even make sense for me to buy it on-line and have it shipped to Denmark - being that good tool shops seem not...

I need a few words of wisdom about my '99. It has 65K miles on it. About a week ago I did something that I believe was very stupid. I cleaned my engine by hosing it down. The car ran ok for a little while, but then stopped. The engine light was on. Yes - you guessed it. Water in the plug...

My 1994 miata daytime running light module quit awhile back, so I bought another one from the dealer. I suspect that in the intervening years they either changed the module color or came up with with an upgraded part which had a different color to retrofit my 1994 miata. In any event, I cannot...

Our 2002 MX-5 used to get a flat battery if not driven regularly. Fixed by getting a battery conditioner. Our 2004 3 Sport suffers from a flat battery unless it gets regular long journeys. Does not seem to be a problem if we turn the alarm off. Last week the car was used for about 10 3mile...

Well my Miata is an '03 (Shinsen edition) with about 33K that I've had since Feb '07. Check Engine light came on 2 weeks ago. Decided to buy a code reader (~$45) and read the alert code a few days ago, which came up as P0455. This is "Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (gross leak/ no...

How do I remove the outside headlamp cover on a '99 Miata?

Went out to check my 2000 MX5, they're 14", tires are 185/60/14s, second set of tires. But that is also what the label on the door says. So original size also.

Has anyone had a fuel pump replaced recently? (only 80,000 miles on a 98) Haven't got the price yet, just the diagnoses from where I had the car towed to. They don't have a price yet because they were closing.....it's a small shop. Towing is free, AAA, don't want to get ripped off.

I made the run down to Bryson City / Cherokee N.C. area in my '06 Sport taking my cousin to look for a site for her fifth-wheel camper. Advice: if you are doing something like this with a passenger, first determine their level of nervousness and susceptibility to motion sickness. While she...

I recently purchased the Battery Tender with the intention of mounting the semi-permanent cable with the lugs on the end. I'm still using the OEM battery and its battery lugs are considerably larger than the lugs supplied with the tender. How did the rest of you with the tender who installed...

On the front of the vehicle, aren't really for towing per the manual. Have any of you not knowing that, ever used them for towing??? If so, what was the result??

I saw over on google that there was a discussion about this several years ago. I seem to be getting the same error, but with different symptoms. Mine is not at high rev but every once in a while it will do it when I first start the car. Often after only a short time since shutting it down. ...

My Westco battery should be here today and I plan to install it and remove the tired Mazda battery currently <-pun not intended! installed in the car. Since the Mazda battery requires venting to the outside there's a neat little connection where the vent hoses come together and pass through...

I have a 2000 Miata, and I am pretty sure that my vent hose terminates at a place that is integrated with the right side rear reflector.

One of our local Miata club members created a video using footage from this year's polar bear run... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV-7QDVU5zM That's our president doing the pre-drive talk. There's just a couple of quick shots of Vixen in the snowy parking area at Hawk Mountain but you kind...

Last night I found I had a broken headlight on the 1992 MX5. On my way home I stopped at a couple of places to get a new one and found AutoZone was out and their computer showed their other nearby stores were also out. I headed across the street to Walmart and found one there, they had only...

Man, do I like the charger/maintainer that I had bought not too long ago, and installed. It has gotten to the point where I seldom see it giving my battery a quick hit. And I can let my Miata just sit there, unused in the garage for a good two weeks, and when I turn her over, it cranks up just as...
