Is the six speed manual tranny better than the five speed on gas miles? Just wondering?

As predicted, approximately 3 to 4 hours to replace a $10.00 part. I could have gotten away with about half the cost and saved maybe 30 minutes, but I decided that replacing the other two fuel lines was a good idea while everything was apart. That split runs nearly the entire length of the hose. Kept out of the mechanic's hands one more time. :-) ...

I've been running Falken Ziex-512s on my '97 daily driver through two sets of tires and have been happy with them. Now I see that they have been replaced by the Ziex-912s. I did a quick search and found several comments stating that the 912s handle very poorly due to "softer" sidewalls. Has anyone here in Miataland made this switch or tried the 912s? Thanks...

I have a '03 SE, of course with the 6-spd. I'm replacing the trans and diff fluids with Redline. Through past postings and emails, I've determined that MT-90 is for the trans but haven't seen what to use for the diff. Suggestions? Thanks. -- ----- Clark Friedrichs / 1clarkf@sbcglobal . net

The new range-topping model will be based on the RX-8 RS that has leaked on internet sites ahead of its debut at January's Tokyo Auto Salon. The RS itself adopts subtle visual enhancements on top of the RX-8's revised front and rear styling that is being showcased at the Detroit motor show before both models reach Australia mid-year. A rear spoiler...

I pulled into the driveway and thought that I smelled a strong gasoline odor. I left the engine running, popped the hood, and saw gas literally spraying all over the fuel rail area. A quick jump to the ignition key while being thankful that I have made the proper sacrifices to the Miata gods, so no fire. A glance at the gas gauge showed a full 1/4 down,...

Going to be trading my 2000 in soon so I'll have a set a 15" steel rims with snow tires on them available in the next month or so. Anyone in the central MA area (if there are any) intrested in these? Tires probably have enough life for Maybe 1 more winter and they need a re-balance but other than that are ready to bolt on. I'm pretty flexible on price...

Need to replace tyres on my 94, currently with standard 14x6 rims, fitted with standard 185/60R14s. I would like a set of reasonable street performance tyres, but I can't find a single manufacturer who lists 195/55R14 at all! I am in Australia, but most major brands distribute the same range all over the world. Any suggestions?

Any opinions on this: * store.miataparts.org/mibealunpa19.html I have the original plastic/cardboard/regurgitated-compressed-yakfat thingy which is pretty well shredded. I'm sure I can find better uses for $200 such as a couple of gallons of gasoline but...... -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project:...

Starting to get some cracks on the side of the top, where it folds down. Was wondering if there was some kind of glue or silicon that would work to seal/batch it up. I do not want to replace the top at this point but don't want it to get worse. thanks.
