Automatic Power antenna only 3/4 effective by
[email protected]
My 2001 mazda miata mx-5 came with the power antenna. When having it
detailed, the shop left it up when run through the wash, and broke
it. They fixed it for free and it worked fine for a month or so.
Now, it goes up perfectly, but leaves one full link up when it stops.
Any ideas?

driving question, re oversteering by
~Mike Hollywood
Hi,
Suppose you're driving on asphalt.
In a rear wheel drive car like the miata, if you go into a turn too fast,
and
the back starts to slide, what's the safest way to correct? I'm pretty sure
you want to stay off the brakes because that would throw more weight
forward and lighted rear traction...

Tire Pressure by
Geary Morton
On my '99, I have swapped my stock 14x6 rims out for a set of '01 SE
16x6.5 rims. I'm now running 205x45 R16 Yokohamas and wondering if I
need to up the pressure for the lower profile. Anyone out there have a
car that came from the factory with 16"? If so, what does it recommend

I was backing out tweety, my 99 Black Miata MX5 in the parking lot and

Hurray! Another year of fun! by
Eric Baber
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, with flying...

Cam Position Sensor by
Scott Hughes[_2_]
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 10 years) and...

when I engage the clutch and put the shifter into 1st gear. If I

I can manually retract it by turning the little knob thing behind the

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
itself. Before it...

How to check if I have Torsen LSD by

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

tight, my son was not able to spin the wheel...
