#2367 of 4340 Chesdin2, re water in rocker panels............................ by daysailer Jun 10, 2002 (8:06 am)
yes, there are drains near front and rear ends of the rocker panels but they are small. There is a slight bulge at the jacking points between the two layers of sheet metal that forms the ridge on the underside. The drains are easily plugged by pollen and leaf debris that washes down. A pipe cleaner is a good cleaning tool but any stiff, small diameter wire will do in a pinch (e.g paper clip).   At worst, the ridge may have been flattened against the underside by improper jacking, in which case you'll need to repair the damange and reopen the drain.
#2368 of 4340 Aaaahhhhhh by freddy_k Jun 10, 2002 (9:09 am)
I just got back from the most relaxing lunch time cruise. It's warm and sunny with a nice breeze and no sign of humidity. Nothing like an around town cruise with no destination, nor rush, and no traffic. I am very relaxed and content right now, looking forward to my drive home. Sorry for the pointless post but I had to share it with people who might acually appretiate it.

I had a nice drive like that last night - just went to the neighborhood pool (almost 9pm), took a quick dip, hopped back in and drove home. Felt refreshed inside and out!   -juice
#2370 of 4340 horn by lngtonge18 Jun 10, 2002 (10:31 am)
I replaced the original horn on my 92 yesterday with a 130 decibel high note one. The horn is 1/3 larger then the original and is definitely louder. You can hear it clear as bell at speeds of 60 mph, so it should help keep cars from running over me or out in front of me. I still would like to add the low note one to make it complete, however, I'm not sure if 2 horns will overload the circuit. Does anyone know whether the Miata can handle 2 horns on its one wire circuit?
#2371 of 4340 re: horn............. by daysailer Jun 14, 2002 (4:12 am)
I added a Fiamm "Highway Blaster", low tone in addition to the stock horn with no problems (its been in service for at least 2 years). The Fiamm alone was better than stock but not the improvement that I sought. The combination is a huge improvement over stock.
#2372 of 4340 How often... by isellhondas Jun 14, 2002 (8:13 am)
Do you guys use your horn anyway?   I can't remember when I last honked at someone although I've been tempted.
#2373 of 4340 by ateixeira Jun 14, 2002 (8:15 am)
We're virtually invisible to huge cars and SUVs, so a good horn is a necessity. I get cut off almost every day.   -juice
#2374 of 4340 Isell by maltb Jun 14, 2002 (8:19 am)
I've been driving a Miata for that last two weeks in which I have used it twice legitimately. Not sure if it's my more aggressive driving in that car or the fact that I'm harder to see.
#2375 of 4340 I remember............................... by daysailer Jun 14, 2002 (8:25 am)
that on my first drive to work after installing the new horn, a driver tried to change lanes into the space occupied by my Miata. I brief tap of the "improved" horn was sufficient cause him to immediately swerve back to his lane - and then pull off the road!? I assume that he must have spilled his coffee and/or dropped his cell 'phone.
