    Intermittent brake pedal vibration

    I've had my front rotors turned 3x in 50k miles. After 3 turnings, they are still legal thickness. But like posters above have said, they probably warp easier once turned. I don't tailgate, drive aggressively or use my brakes hard, but they seem to warp easy.

    Rode in the back tonight!!!!

    I've only sat in the second row to get changed for a running race. Just from that, I can tell that I'd like to ride back there for a trip. Friends who've ridden back there were very impressed.

    Miata Roll Call

    righty-o, I understand, and no worries, I was/am not perturbed by anyone's replies about the bar... I just wanted to make sure everyone knows that I know the inherent risks of the choice (both driving the car to begin with, and installing the bar).

    Miata Roll Call

    no thought what-so-ever was given to debate of whether cosmetic double hoop will cause more damage to me in a flip over or not. Nor was any thought given to what injuries would be sustained in driving a Miata period, with our without any kind of roll bar. Just as no safety thought is given to...

    advice on double hoop roll bar and windscreen please...

    thank you for the reply. appreciate it. the non-function aspect is ok, I'm wanting one for cosmetic purposes. I did some more Google-ing and found a few threads where people said the wind blocker is a good thing. I think I'm going to go with a non-Ebay double hoop bar that comes with a wind...

    how does the stock sound system with an aftermarket amp and boom box sound? That's something I had not thought of doing. And how much roughly does that cost?

    Miata Roll Call

    I still have a Harley to ride... so I can't complain really. I will miss the sport bike though. I might sell the Harley in the next couple years and get a Concours14, best of both worlds... hard bags, but tilted more to the sport bike side of things. A do-all bike.
