Have you done some extra special customization? Got some great car care products? Solved a problem – wait a minute, the Miata doesn’t have problems. Most anything goes here as long as it is Miata related (and civil, of course). If we get enough replies/posts on a single topic, we may start a new category, so ask your questions or share your knowledge.

Hello,

I live in Lexington and am in the market for a ’01-03 LS 5SPD manual Miata. It may go back to the days I worked as an assistant service manager at an auto dealer but before I take the leap into buying any car I’m not familiar with I like to educate myself as much as possible about what to look for beyond the obvious.

I’m contacting you today to try to get connected with someone who is a font of knowledge about Miatas of the years I’m interested in purchasing so I can bombard them with questions and also get advice and information beyond even my concerns.

I can be reached at (859) 361-3943 or, reply to this message.

Thanks,
Gary Shaffer

Hi, I live over by morehead ky. I need a zipper put in my miata convertible top.  The top is like new, except the zipper needs to be replaced.

Do you, or any of your members have the name of a shop you've dealt with, who you think would do an honest good job for me? I need help.

Please leave a comment on this message if you have any suggestions.

Thanks for your suggestions, Carol Tenge, Hillsboro, Ky.

Hello,

My name is Matthew Mattingly. I recently bought a 1999 Miata to commute back and forth from work. I really enjoy the car but I had a few questions about it that I thought yall could help me with.

The factory soft top is getting in bad shape with some cracking around the edges and a few holes starting to come up in it. Where is the best place to either get it worked on or replaced?

I was also curious about the transmission and rear end of the car. It seems to wind up a little tighter than I like and I was wondering if a different rear end is available as well as possibly a 6-speed transmission. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,
Matthew Mattingly

In the market for a Special Edition Miata? 

There are to be only 750 each of these Dolphin Gray or Black Mica 2011 Special Edition Miatas produced for worldwide sales.

Here is the 2011 Special Edition, sure to be a collectible!

I recently purchased a 1990 Miata and have a question:

Ride quality? I am wondering how this car should really ride, it is pretty rough riding and I am wondering if I have a suspension problem, or if this normal.

If this is the norm, are there ways to upgrade this to make a little smoother ride.

Thanks,
Bonita Willman
