Replying to: lngtonge18 (Feb 20, 2004 8:21 pm) I read your 2/21/04 comments about yje zipperless top with glass window. Are you still happy with it. Is it a Robbins and what did it cost incl install

Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 20, 2005 6:10 am) Also in the market for a zipperless top. Your price of $449 I assume was for vinyl and not the Sunfast canvas. The best price I've seen for Sunfast is at MMmiata.com under $600.00

Yeah, mine is vinyl, tan color. Black was the same price.   -juice
#4026 of 4340 CD for my 93 by erics6 May 04, 2005 (12:29 pm)
I'd like to find a Mazda OEM radio/in dash cd changer for my 93. Any suggestions on what Mazda units will fit?

I know of a bloke that took a 6-disc cd changer out of an Explorer and it fit right into hiw 94 NA. You should be able to find one second hand pretty easy.
#4028 of 4340 Wow by ateixeira May 05, 2005 (5:35 am)
From an Explorer?   The size is pretty standard, Double-DIN. I had heard that a 6CD changer from a Tribute would fit right in, so maybe the Escape's stereo would as well. I didn't know the Explorer's would.   Did the harness just plug right in? No adaptors required?   I have my OE stereo but the CD skips and one of the lights inside the unit blew out, so I really ought to change it out.   -juice
#4030 of 4340 More Room in '06 Mx-5/Miata by mcatt May 15, 2005 (10:44 am)
I understand that the new Miata has more leg and head room, the question is how much. I'm 6'3 and, while I've always loved the Miata, just didn't have enough headroom. Has anyone sat in one of the '06s yet? I think they'll not be widely available until late summer but thought someone might have been aboard a pre-production model.
#4031 of 4340 Yes by ateixeira May 15, 2005 (4:07 pm)
I sat in one at the NY show.   With the seat all the way back, I could not fully depress the clutch pedal. With my foot on the dead pedal my knees still had a slight bend, however.   I'm 6' even with a 30" inseam, so you're still going to be a borderline case. Fit, you will, but I'm not sure about comfort on longer drives because you couldn't stretch out.   -juice
#4032 of 4340 New Robbins Top installed by ateixeira May 15, 2005 (4:11 pm)
Got the no-zipper top with a glass window from Robbins, and finally put it on over the last couple of days.   I'd say it took about 3-4 hours to remove the old top, and maybe 4-5 hours to put the new one on. I'd never done it before and a lot of that time was setting up, getting tools, getting a computer for extra tips on installation, etc.   I'm beat! I'm sure I'll be very sore tomorrow. That darn B-pillar bracket is nearly impossible and requires a contorsionist to remove and replace!   But she looks good, that's for sure.   To be honest I'm not sure I'd do that again. Even though I know much more now. If you can find a shop to do the labor for $200-300, my advice would be to pay them, it's worth it IMO.   Gotta let that new vinyl stretch out a bit, but otherwise it's nice to have her back to ship shape.   -juice Replies to this message: fergie1 (May 27, 2005 5:55 am)
