#96 of 162 yeah? by ateixeira Mar 30, 2005 (10:44 am)
Really? I thought it was 2000.   Maybe I avoid 2000 models for a different reason, was that the year with the clutch chatter?   -juice
#97 of 162 clutch chatter by thel Mar 30, 2005 (1:00 pm)
That was more of an 01-early 02 problem. The 99 had the #4 issue. The 00 as far as I know is quite sound, I don't know why you would avoid them.   I like the idea of the 00 Evo orange b/c its a flashy color, it has an air bag cut off, it has a "low-tech" 87 octane burning motor and the LS has the comfort goodies that I miss in my 90 A-package (power windows, LSD, leather seat smell, etc.) Replies to this message: tootie (Jun 19, 2005 8:08 pm) thel (Jun 20, 2005 1:18 pm)
#98 of 162 ROOF TOP LATCH by cmoffat Mar 30, 2005 (4:01 pm)
Hello,      I just bought a 2001 MX-5 AND I love it. However my roof top latch on the right side will not lock into place. I took it to the dealer but they said it would cost me $200 dollars and that it is not covered under the extended warranty. Should have guessed that, I was wondering if I order the part myself would a person with no car expereince be able to install it. Unless someone has some other trouble shooting ideas. Thanks.

I think you'll need a good torx wrench but it doesn't look hard to do. Buy it on-line from a wholesaler, you won't even pay state sales tax. $200 sounds ridiculously high.   thel: also, you don't have to unzip the rear window. That would be nice.   -juice

I got a no-zipper glass window aftermarket top for my 90 last year....it's easy to see through but the quality is not up to par with the OEM.
#101 of 162 Clutch Murmurs by rpalacios Apr 18, 2005 (10:43 am)
My 95 Miata with 160K miles humms or chatters when shifted into any gears while starting. I can't tell whether the noise continues while I'm actually driving.   Anyone experience this also?
#102 of 162 Clutch Slave Cylinder by ateixeira Apr 18, 2005 (11:13 am)
If the rpms get erratic and the clutch pedal feels spongy, I bet it's the clutch slave cylinder.   I got a rebuild kit for $11 at NAPA. Also get brake fluid because you will have to bleed the whole system.   -juice

Replying to: johnnyangel (Mar 28, 2005 2:53 pm) Yes here's a follow up... to my original post 3 weeks later on Sat Apr 16th bought my VR 04 MSM from Thousand Oaks Mazda for $18,250 ... $8,000 off MSRP. Fantastic car!!! Ya can't go wrong and the deals are out there, but the4 inventory is slowly dwindling. Any prospective MSM buyers can take a chance and wait for even lower prices but that also means less color selection. I got what I wanted and I am very happy!!

Replying to: miata4ashley (Mar 25, 2005 10:14 am) Ashley -- I too have the same problem with my 91.   How much did you spend on fixing the "master slave clutch" ? What part of the country are you in? I live near AnnArbor(Detroit) Michigan.   How many miles do you have on your miatia....I've got 78K   Isn't it a fun car!!!! (when it's working)   Thanks for responding.
#105 of 162 Should I get a Miata? by chadwick300 Jun 16, 2005 (10:22 am)
Hi, I will be buying a new car in a year or so and I am torn between a Mustang GT and a Mazda Miata. I really don't care if it's a convertible or not, its just not that important to me. If I get the Mustang it will be for the neck straining acceleration, but if I get the Miata it will be for the more sophisticated handling and shifting. What is the most fun? Accelleration, or handling? Replies to this message: jimmie3 (Oct 05, 2005 7:52 am)
