2001 Miata - Exhaust Leak by coocookajoo

I have a 2001 Miata with 66K miles that has a small crack in the exhaust manifold. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions as to where (other than the dealer) to buy a replacement, preferably one that will increase the power of the engine? Thanks for any help that you can give.

Ask in the Real World Trade-in Values thread.
 
A few members there work for dealerships and can tell you what you would get wholesale trade, and guesstimate the private party value as well.
 
KBB is often way off, so don't let that set your expectation.

Must be. You can probably get parts from a local junk yard pretty cheap.
 
The water sloshing is probably under the doors. There are drains at the jacking points under the car.
 
Go in there with a paper clip to loosen up any debris that gathered up and clogged the drain. That's a simple fix.
 
Wear eye protection so that dirty water doesn't pour on your eyes.

Sorry, no idea on the suspension fix.
 
On the Miata, Look under the door sills, right where the jacking points are.
 
If any body work was done in the past, perhaps the body shop sealed up the hole?

1999 - swapping air conditioners? by jrdennis

I've found a '99 Miata without an AC. My mechanic is willing to pull an AC from other Miatas in the junkyard, but does anyone know what years will work in this 99?

Not specifically. The NB ran from 1999 to 2005, though.

1997 Miata for $4995 by chrisa222

Hey guys,
 
Im looking for a 2nd car and came across a 97 Miata...a car that I always wanted but was never able to pull off because here in CT the winters would never allow it. Now I can have another "Fun" car.
 
Im trying to stay under $5K and this is the only one I have found under 100K miles (it has 99K, haha). Looks to be in very good shape, aside from hubcaps instead of rims
 
Anyone have any thoughts? Anything specific I should look for/ask about? Was this a reliable year for the Miata?
 
Thoughts on finding/prices for used rims?
 
Appreicate any info. Im going to see what I can find over at Miata.net.
 
Thanks again and I look forward to comments, comments, and more comments!
