    2004 MSM, blown turbo?

    The easiest starting point is to remove the inlet pipe to the turbo and try to move the spindle with your fingers. Very slight movement from side to side is normal. There should be little to none forward/backward. Look for any wear on the sides compressor wheel fins that is indicative of...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Found a selectable speed intermittent wiper stalk from a 2002 MPV at the yard today thanks to Cash for Clunkers. $13.50 and installation took all of 10 minutes :).

    THE 24 Hours of Lemons Thread

    New Miata owner

    Congrats on the purchase! These are indeed fun cars to drive. You shouldn't have any reliability issues. Miatas, over time, have proven that and reward the owner with many miles of top down zoom.

    New Guy

    Welcome! I'm glad to see another Miata owner on here :). Nice looking car...it's very clean under the hood. The "code", if you will, for your car as it falls between 90-97, would be an NA Miata. 99-05 is an NB, and '06 and newer is NC.....not that any of that really matters anyway.

    How To: Cheap AutoX Magnets

    Damn. Thanks for the reminder. I need to make another '0' for the one I lost at the last event. I'll have a look at the Office-Depot magnets. The Home Depot vent covers are just too thin. Nice write-up!

    axle re assembly

    A dead blow mallet would be a better choice, but if you must use a hammer, be gentle. It doesn't take much to compress the snap ring. Looking at your picture, you need to add a lot more grease. Coat the bearings and all races. Then toss a handful into the boot.

    gear oil fill plug

    The fill plug is the same size as the drain plug. It's, if I remember correctly, toward the front of the car. You can fill from the axle, but the tranny takes a bit more than what you're able add from there. Don't use ATF. Stick to 75w90.

    2009 Solo Nationals - Who's going?

    I'll be there, #180 CSP. Anyone else going? It should be an interesting event, what with concrete and all. The overall showing is looking pretty good thus far. It's hard to believe it's only about 2 weeks away.

    Antoine @ Petit Le Mans / Road Atlanta...?

    Marlon, that sounds awsome. Should I cross post this to the local Miata forum? There are a bunch of Miata nerds there that will be going and will definitely add to the Mazda showing.

    Oil Question

    Stick with the factory recommended oil weight. Synthetic wouldn't hurt.
