You are in the Mazda Miata Forum. Your Host is claires
I have a 2001 Miata and the driver's side floor mat is worn. I bought new ones from the dealer which were factory supplies but they are nowhere as good as my originals. The fabric is thinner, there is no heel guard on the driver's mat and the color, although marked as "black",is gray. The dealer indicated that Mazda is using a new supplier. I have heard the same story from many dealers. There is one pair on Ebay now but I am leery to buy them without actually seeing them. Thoughts???

| Howdy. I was wondering where I could get a new top. I've heard of this kwiktops.com place. Anyone know if they're any good? | |
| Hey man, I couldn't tell ya where you could find a new top other than at the dealer (if you're looking for either a soft of hard top for the Miata) but one thing I can tell you is that a lot of people need to make sure they keep up on theirs, and maintain them properly with the right conditioners and cleaners! Many people don't do a thing to their tops assuming that they shouldn't need to do anything more than with a hardtop automobile, but the fact of the matter is the top does take some care and they're flat out wrong! Anyways, good luck with whatever you do and I will take a look for some tops for ya and see what I can find! Good luck and God bless! | |
| Any recommendations? - I have a black cloth top. | |
My 97 Miata has stock 14" wheels and tires. I'm considering increasing to 17" wheels with 205 40 17 tires. Has anyone done this to their first generation Miata? How do they fit? Are you satisfied with the look, ride, and handling? How much harder is the ride with these low profile tires? I also want to go with all season tires. Any suggestions on tire and wheel brands.

Has anyone had a clear bra put on their MX-5? I had one done by the dealer on my new MX-5 but was wondering a few things. First, they only put it on the front of the hood and not the front bumper at all. The dealer said the bumpers are designed to withstand small chips etc. Is that right? Second, I was wondering how these hold up over the years. They say for maintenance I should wash and wax it like the rest of the car. Any experience in this area you wish to share? Lastly, has anyone put this on their car themselves? How hard was that to do? Thanks.

Here is a link to a calculator because it is important that if you increase your wheel size or change the profile, that you have your speedometer re calculated or that you know you will not be going to same speed as your speedo claims because it will be changing the ratio... Here is the link link title go there and check it out! |

Replying to: miata97 (Aug 18, 2006 3:53 am) Here's what I mean - the stock 14"x6" rims weigh just 12 lbs or so. The BBS rims on some SE models weighed just *nine* pounds. Even forged 17"s will probably weight close to double, maybe even more. You'll have to swap out the whole suspension else the wheel will be hopping up and down overwhelming the shocks that just can't handle that kind of unsprung weight. I just think 17" is too radical. That's my opinion, anyway. -juice |
