Replying to: ateixeira (Mar 27, 2006 7:05 am)  Drove on Interstate 45 for 30miles and then went to put air in.  Went to get the tire checked out and they said no damage to the rim or tire!  Wal-mart! The only way I could tell was the Louder NOISE going over the "strip bumps".  .. aka louder "thuds" vs. "bumps" sound!  Now I wrench on the "valve covers"!

Replying to: johnchun (Mar 28, 2006 9:11 am) The only thing I would recommend, since you seem to like it, is to do a walk around the car before you get in the car. You would have caught the low tire scenario, if you had made a habit of doing a walk around. |

The rear window of my soft top is shot. The rest is great. So I decided to try and remove by myself. Now the rear came right up with no problems. The front was not really much harder. And in 30 minutes I thought I was good to go. Then I realized I could not figure out how to detach the corners by the hinged frame. Could some one offer some advice. Or better yet, offer some instructions... Thanks. It's spring and I want to put the hard top away. I own a 1993 in excellent condition.

Replying to: ronner (Apr 02, 2006 2:07 pm) Let me try to find you a link to the instructions I used...try these: http://miata.net/garage/top/ Note that he used a special jeweler's tool for the very tight space. I used a stubby screw driver but it gave me a *LOT* of trouble. I hope that's what you're talking about, it was the hardest part for me. -juice |

| My wife is considering a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT, or the 2006 MX-5. Anyone want to opine on the pros/cons of each choice (when compared to each other)? Both cars would be AT, and the Spyder would be a V-6. Thanks for your opinions! | |

Replying to: duke15 (Apr 10, 2006 7:58 am) Eclipse is roomier, possibly more comfortable, more of a GT style car. The back seat is useless, except for cargo, but it probably would be a bit more practical. That's a torquey V6 for lazy, laid back driving. But it's very heavy so I would not call it sporty. I'd say this: be honest, do she need a practical car? If yes, does she have access to another car if she needs it once in a while? MX5 makes an excellent 2nd car, my other car is a Forester and they complement each other very well. -juice
