To the contrary, if I test drove and liked a Miata enough to buy it, then Mazda threw another $500 or other incentives in my face, I'd happily take whatever they were offering.   Shoot, I hope that happens to my 1993 Miata. Did it *really* make 116hp?   What about my 1998 Forester? I'd love it if Subaru said it only makes 160hp instead of 165hp and threw some Benjamins in my pocket!   -juice

Hear hear!! I'll raise a beer to that! I happened to buy my Tiburon 6 months after the whole hp snafu. I missed out on the extended warranty because of it. I would have gladly been lied to to get an even better warranty.   On a sidenote, Mazda did list hp as slightly lower on California cars in the late 90s, thus why I have some trust in their numbers.

#3537 of 4340 Found a Miata by thel Apr 22, 2004 (7:13 am)
It's a 92 B-package with 103,000 miles, white, rota subzero rims with Toyo Proxes tires. The only problem with it is that the AC has run out of the R-12 freon and doesn't work. I'm hoping to maybe do an R-134 conversion and get it working again w/o having to replace condensers, etc.   The seller is wanting $3,700 for it so I'm thinking I may buy it. The tires and wheels alone are worth $600+. Any thoughts?

how's the top?   conversion to R-134 will run ya probably $500 if the usual suspects are needing replacement. if it's white I'd consider ripping out the AC completely; double black is miserable mid-summer but white should be a lot more tolerable as long as you're not stuck in gridlock.   ~c
#3539 of 4340 Top is in good shape by thel Apr 22, 2004 (8:31 am)
No gridlock around here unless you go to the Lake of the Ozarks on holiday weekends LOL.   I never used the AC in my 02 much unless I was feeling like a wimp or I got caught in the rain and I needed the defroster. I've got an 04 Matrix XRS for days like that though. Maybe with an old NA in the garage, I'll like my Matrix more.

What year did they start coming with R-134 from the factory?

Let me know if you need a hardtop or a replacement tan softtop with glass window. I gotta get the hardtop out of my shed but haven't found the time or money to advertise it.

I believe 94 was the first year for R134a.
