    MX-5 Soft top or retractable hard top?

    We bought an RF because we like playing around at the track and didn't want to deal with installing a rollbar. It's almost strange how many compliments the Miata gets at gas station and car meets. Mazda still has the ability to make good looking sports cars, that's for sure.

    Remember that time...

    2 scenarios: 1: I blew up my nearly new sub10k mile Protege5 chasing an EVO8 up Hwy 9 back in 2004 or so. I took off my mods and brought it back to the dealer. They replaced the engine, no questions asked. "Oil starvation due to cornering" was what they put on my receipt for the new engine...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    The lip was made by AutoExe. IIRC DG made a carbon fiber autoexe knock off that was pretty nice though. :)

    Dealership Disappointment

    Back when we had our NB, I got a coupon for a free oil change so I took it to the dealer. I parked it, went inside, and told them why I was there. I watched as a technician went outside, hopped into it and backed it straight into a UPS truck. I was so pissed. It had maybe 7k miles at the time...

    No Mazda Sport Utility?

    Mazda has the BT-50 pick up truck, but it's not offered in North America and it's really an Isuzu anyway. They used to have the Navajo in the 90's, which we could buy, but it was just an Explorer. Kind of weird, really. Toyota can't sell enough 4runners...also, bring back the Suzuki Sidekick!

    Buyer Beware Brand New ND Miata OEM Rubber Mats, S.E. MI

    Hopefully the buyer got the mats, because I didn't. In fact I just got notice that I won our little Paypal dispute and got my money back. Thread closed, buyer beware.

    Total blasphemy!

    Stef Shrader probably has a purple buzz cut and drives a Prius. 🤣

    MazdaSpeed Protege Wheel Weight?

    They weight around 17 and a half pounds...a tiny bit more than Mazdaspeed 6 wheels, which are 18's. ;)

    Which sway bar bushings should I get? Please help

    Stock is the only thing that won't clunk even worse. Sorry, I don't have a CX-5, but that was the case in my Mazdaspeed Protege. Urethane will not only clunk, but squeak too. Mazda may have traded some NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) for better cornering. It sounds like your bushings lasted...
